My updated plan of attack, not really much has changed but Im definitely building in a day for each of the water parks now we had such a fun time at Great Wolf Lodge this weekend that we now must visit both the water parks at Disney. We did Typhoon Lagoon 2 years ago and loved it so well start off with Blizzard Beach this time and then return to Typhoon Lagoon later in the week.
Friday 5/13 well leave some time this evening after work and school. Hopefully drive all night or pull off at a rest stop if we decide we need the rest I dont mind driving some though so if Hubby needs a break we can swap.
Saturday 5/14 I made a reservation at the Comfort Inn Oceanfront Jacksonville Beach -
http://www.comfortinnjaxbeach.com/ - which is 11.5 hours from our home. Hubby can rest and Ill take the kids to play on the beach or at the pool. If Hubby cant join us on this trip I will be leaving early on Saturday morning like 3 am and well drive to Jacksonville Beach to stay the night there.
Sunday 5/15 hopefully well all wake up refreshed from the long drive down. The hotel offers continental breakfast so well eat and then get on the road to head to Blizzard Beach its about a 2.5-3 hour drive from the hotel. Well spend the day at BB and then leave around 4 to go check into the timeshare. After we get settled there I plan to go grocery shopping and well probably turn in early for the night.
Monday 5/16 Early pre-park opening ADR at EPCOT for the Princess Storybook breakfast. The girls are going to love this even if it means we have to be out the door around 7. EPCOT is Tylers favorite park. After breakfast well hit up some rides in Future World and then head back to World Showcase. Ive made passports for all the kids Tyler loves going around collecting the stamps and autographs. Ive never seen Illuminations and Im not sure with the early start that well be able to stick around till park closing but well just play it by ear.
Tuesday 5/17 Rope drop at AK (I hope). We are usually done with this park by lunch time. So the plan will be to head back to the timeshare for lunch and then maybe a nap or if not well visit either DHS or MK cant decide if well skip DHS on this trip or not just not enough time to do it all anyway both parks are open until 9 this night.
Wednesday 5/18 Sleep in if we need it breakfast at the timeshare and maybe visit the pool and game room. Head over to Disney Quest around 11 (will probably grab a snack at the timeshare for lunch). My family has a 5 pm dinner reservation at T-Rex (SIL didnt think it would appeal to her girls so not sure what theyll do) Im really looking forward to this meal as are Devin & Tyra who love to look at photos of the restaurant in others trip reports. Well finish the day off with some shopping around DTD or just head back to the timeshare for the evening.
Thursday 5/19 Typhoon Lagoon today. When we are done with the water park we may head back to DTD for some shopping (depending on what we do the night before) or back to the timeshare for some relaxing (they have several pools, mini-golf, game room and other stuff like a playground & basketball courts)
Friday 5/20 our last full day at Disney. If we missed anything on our first visit to EPCOT well head back here early and if not well head straight to MK and spend the whole day there. MK is supposed to be open until 10 this night so if we need a mid day break well head back to the timeshare for a nap.
Saturday 5/21 My family will be leaving this day not sure if SIL will be heading home with us or staying until Sunday (we have to check out of the timeshare by Sunday). I made a late 10:45 breakfast ADR at Chef Mickeys for one last does of Disney magic before we get on the road.
Sunday 5/22 well arrive home sometime super early this morning. I wanted to leave this day to get home and get back to reality before heading to work/school on Monday.
for 90 days!!
Wooot! Your trip is so close!
You're going just a couple weeks before me.... have fun!
