Good Morning Everyone!!!
I have so many random thoughts floating in my head. I am gong to try and get them all out, so this, might be a bit all over the place....
----------------------------------
Possible Monorail Crawl
Start at the Poly
Poly: Trader Sam's
Grand Floridian: Maybe a treat from the Easter "Grand Cottage" and look at all of the chocolate eggs?
Contemporary: Steak House 71 Lounge for PBJ Wings
I looked up and someone on Disney blog said the easter stuff stays up just a couple days after Easter. So, there is a slight chance it will still be up.
But I do like @luvpoohandcompany idea about shopping. That way if we strike out getting into a place, at least we have that. And I don't think we have even explored the stores at Grand Floridian before.
----------------------------------
Animal Kingdom.... The good news is since we don't need park reservations, we can play it by ear. I think I am going to mentally slat AK for either park hopping on the first park day or rope dropping later in the trip, Wednesday. I am actually kind of leaning towards Wednesday now, I even made a 2nd reservation for Sanaa so if we go that day, we can do Sanaa lunch that day.
----------------------------------
Genie+
Last trip we didn't get Genie plus every day. We were able a few days go to the park at rope drop and get in a bunch of rides, grab lunch and when it got too hot and busy, we would head back to the hotel and relax. And then by the time we came back to a park, we could manage again without genie +....
BUT this is going to be Spring Break, so I am not sure if that will work as well.
Friday: EPCOT / Animal Kingdom
or EPCOT / Hollywood Studios - I think we might not get Genie + this day. We will hopefully rope drop Remy and Frozen and then I think we would focus on Flower and Garden stuff and sprinkle in rides that aren't too bad of a wait aka 3 Cabs or Figment...
Sunday: EASTER: Magic Kingdom / Hollywood Studios - I think we will want Genie+ this day and mostly stack LL for HS in the evening? Also, can Disney put 7DMT into the regular bucket?!?! Please? I love that ride but it needs to be less of a wait and it's not worth the cost of ILLS!
Monday: Hollywood Studios / EPCOT EEH - I am torn for today, I feel like HS you kind of need it? Like we will never go on Slinky Dog if we don't get HS. Rock n Rollercoaster will be done while we are there, so LL are going to be even harder to get, so I am also wondering if it will be worth it EACH time we go... If we switch the next day to AK, I think this will be a Genie+ day.
Wednsday: Hollywood Studios / Magic Kingdom EEH
or Animal Kingdom / Magic Kingdom EEH
I am thinking maybe we don't need it if we switch to AK in the morning. Or maybe we do, since we will want to squeeze everything in one day? It might be nice to have a few rides stacked to use before EEH start....
Thursday: Magic Kingdom / ??? - Today will probabably be based on what we want to ride, or rather what we haven't gotten to yet and probalby what park we want to go to in the evening. I think we COULD get away with not doing it today, especially if we come back to NK for the night, which I am thinking we might.
So, I have 2 definte days to get Genie + and 2 Maybe days... If we can stay with 3 days, that would probably be best cost wise. Or maybe it will be crazy busy and we will just get it every day... We will just have to wait to see!

Tinkerbell Gifts & Easter Baskets
Sooooo... If you have followed along with my trip reports, you know that I usually do Tinkerbell gifts... But I think we may have finally out grown them! There were mornings the girls never looked for them, and it has gotten ALOT harder to come up with things other than tshirts...
I am thinking maybe just certain days. Like the first day is always PJs, which they can always use... Maybe something for Easter morning and then maybe a morning at WL?
I wanted to do small easter baskets for the girls, Maybe I can find some sort of fabric "basket" on Etsy that I could pack and then fill it with rice krispee treats and stuff.... I will have to start looking!
The hardest part of scaling back is Gwen. She loves this stuff. She is the reason I still do the stupid Elf on the Shelf...
----------------------------------
Flower and Garden Food Booths
They lists came out!!! Woo hoo!!! I have started to check them out.
I am going to make a list of non-alcholic drinks for the girls and probably some sort of hit list of items I think we will want to try.
Maybe try and make some sort of topiary check list as well.
More to come on that!
