Who is in your party
As with any honeymoon it is usually delegated to, well just two individuals. And as such, we have CrazyJeep and his soon to be wife, Sarahbear. (3 days to go, Wedding is on the 13th! so excited)
So I will have a quick rundown of who we are, etc.
I am CrazyJeep. The name truely says it all. Im am gonzos for Jeeps. I have built up my 89 YJ so much the only thing stock on it is is the frame and tub.
Needless to say, check out http://youtube.com/watch?v=_85UzSKoZL0. Im the nut behind the wheel. I am 26 years old, and aspiring to be an airline pilot. I have a long way to go before that dream is fullfilled. This would be my sixth trip to Disney.
Sarahbear is my sweetheart. I have known her for the past six years. I figured about two years ago that if any women can put up with my crap then I'd better snatch her up. She just turned 25...and I was so close to combining our wedding anniversary with her birthday (She didn't let that one slide). She just graduated from Western Michigan University back in April with her Masters in Occupational Therapy. Go girl! FYI this is Sarahbear's FIRST trip to Disney.
How we met: I stole her. Yup, stole her. She had this other guy, he was a jerk and one of my friends. Anyways, he just didn't treat her right, and well. While he was incarcerated, I stole her. Its an amusing story to say the least, but on the plus side, my friend is still my friend. He is actually happy for us. But if I ever ever disappear...just joking, he is a good guy.
Ohh I cannot forget. This is our honeymoon, but I am fortunate to have a very special brother. He is taking his vacation the same week. Different flights, and we only meeting up a couple times during the week. Any more and I think I'd better take my pillow with me to the dog house. So we are going to call him, Tubapop. He is 28, err 29? I can't remember and he is bringing his girlfriend who we will call Sue. I don't know how old she is, im terrified to ask really. But she has been doing a good job keeping my brother in line. So props to her.
We are staying on site between 10/16 till 10/22. We are giving the Magical Express a whirl, hopefully we don't lose any luggage.
The gameplan is to stay at Port Orleans(POR). Unfortuantely the French Quarter was filled up, so unless the gods favor us, we are stuck with double. No king size bed.
But we can deal, hell during our sophmore years in college we managed to sleep on a twin...twilight zone stuff. Anyways, we are also on the Disney Dining Plan! Im gonna gain some weight!
I am trying to follow the format given in the Faq, so now its time for our advanced reservations. But we also have an Itinerary. Which has proved immensely helpful.
So, here goes.
10/16
We arrive at Orlando roughly at noon on the 16th. We are checking in and then bumping over to Downtown Disney to get some of the shopping out of the way, or at least get ideas for gifts for later. We then have reservations at Planet Hollywood. After which we will head down to Pleasure Island. The main goal for this night is the Adventurers Club(AC). As I am innately intrigued by this place and just have to check it out. Tubapop should have landed and checked into his Allstar resort, and should be meeting us there as well. We are also meeting up with other Disboard members at 9pm at AC.
Dinner: Planet Hollywood
Highlight : Adventurers Club
10/17
This is a Extra Magic Hour(EMH) day at the Animal Kingdom(AK), so we going here first. Should be a great time. Last time I was here nothing was really operational. I get to see the Rapids ride, Everest Expedition, etc. All new. Sarahbear is excited for the Bug's Life. Later on we have reservations for two at Jiko's. This is our first nice dinner since we got married, so we are really looking forward to it. Since some of the parks are closing early we dont know if we will stay at the AK or bump over to the Magical Kingdom(MK) for fireworks. We're flexible.
Lunch : Flame something BBQ (quick service)
Dinner : Jiko's
Highlight : Animal Kingdom
10/18
This is the day we are really excited for. MK is the main event today. It is a bummer that the Runaway train ride is down for refurbishment. But I am still pumped for the newly completed Refurbishment of the Haunted Mansion! I cant wait for Space mountain either. Just so much of this park brings me grand memories as a little lad, almost brings a tear to my eye. In the evening we have reservations for the Crystal Palace character dinner with Winnie the Pooh. After that the park closes at 7pm, but we get to stay until 11pm. Why? Because its Mickey's Not so Scary Halloween Party! We don't really have any costumes that we can stay comfortable in 80 degree weather, so just our honeymoon ears.
Lunch : Unknown
Dinner : Crystal Palace Character Dinner
Highlight : Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party.
10/19
Epcot is the name of the game today. This is the only full day we have planned with my brother. He is such a history guru, and him and I are kids in a candy store here. Some people think Epcot can be boring, but there is truely alot of culture to be had here. Not to mention it is the Wine Festival during this time. Again, this is another EMH day for Epcot giving us an extra three hours in the park. We have a reservation for four at the Coral Reef. The one thing I doubt I will get to see, but would like is the Mobile Muppet Labs...Anybody got a time on this?
Lunch : Unknown
Dinner : Coral Reef
Highlight : Epcot Wine Festival
10/20
This is our day off, we had planned to do a waterpark, which still may happen. However we arent 100% sure, very dependent on the weather. If we do a water park its going to be typhoon lagoon. Last time I was here it was closed because of Lightning, it could have been the whole, Hurricane Andrew coming threw, but I was alot young then.
Later on, we have Reservations at Wolf Gang Pucks at Downtown Disney. Now I can know what it might feel like to eat on the set of Las Vegas. After Dinner we have tickets to La Nouba. Pricy tickets, but I think it is well worth it. My mother always gabs on and on about them when she goes to Vegas. After La Nouba we are heading to either Epcot or MK for fireworks.
Lunch : Unknown
Dinner: Wolf Gang Pucks
Highlight : La Nouba
10/21
Our last park of the week we are headed to MGM Studios, or in 2008, Disney Studios. This is meant to be a casual day in the park. Alot has changed here in the past, but the big event for this day is Fantasmic. I really dont know to expect there. I also want to see the Indiana Jones Stunt show for nostalgia sake. We have reservations at the Sci-fi Dine In. I was tempted to switch this to the 50s Diner, but instinct kept it here. I know its not the greatest place to eat(Personal experience), but its all about the theme.
Lunch : Unknown
Dinner : Scifi Dine In
Highlight : Fantasmic
10/22
Its time to say good bye. Flying home is going to be sad. Its going to be even more sad when we have to goto work the following day. But hopefully all the pictures we get will allow us to vicariously relive the trip over and over; at least until the next trip back.
To recap on the ADR
Planet Hollywood @ Downtown Disney
Jiko's @ Animal Kingdom Lodge
Crystal Palace @ Magic Kingdom
Coral Reef @ Epcot
Wolf Gang Puck @ Downtown Disney
Sci-fi Dine In Theatre @ MGM Studios
I tried to find someone for a special boatride for fireworks, but to no avail. Other than that, we are celebrating our Honeymoon and youth at Walt Disney World, need I say more.
Anyways, I hope to post a followup when we get back. Any suggestions on where to go for the Quick Service meals would be MUCH appreciated.
