Long story short, I have been out of work for some time. On Friday (09/06), I received a call from a company offering me a position (thank goodness!!!!). Dealing with Dorian rolling up in the NC area the last day or two, nothing was really happening. My sister said since I won't start work for a few weeks, daughter out of school for a few weeks, why not go to Disney for a few days (6AM on 09/07). By 8:30AM, I had a quote from Magical Journeys (not sure I can post their company name and I apologize if it is against). Affordable was what was needed as well. We got AS Movies, 5 day tickets, QS dining for a grand total of $500 out of pocket (we had $1,000 Disney Rewards saved up over 4 years). We booked at 9:30AM and we were on the road at 10:30AM yesterday. We are not in FL for our adventure to start on 09/09. For today, we are visiting with family that just moved to FL 2 months ago for the day and night...I get to watch Sunday Football!!!
Tomorrow, we embark on the 1-hour drive to AS Movies, check-in, get Magicbands, and off to Epcot. It is the only park that opens late enough where I don't have to check-in so early just to get in line. My DD made all of our FP reservations during the drive down, Amazon Disney channel was rocking in the car for a few hours during the 9-hour drive.
Monday: Epcot until about 2PM, hit Wally World, drop stuff off in the room, and then back for the rest of the night.
Tuesday: DHS...I have to learn the Force Patience skill, but Galaxy's Edge is where we are heading. I know so little about it because we were not planning on going for at least a year. Now, I need to figure out what time we need to arrive at DHS to be there near the front of the herds. Since it opens at 6AM, I am thinking like Avatar, getting there at 4AM may be what is necessary.
Wednesday: MK (I think or it is AK). Just a general day run of the park to have fun.
Thursday: AK (MK if Wed was actually AK). Another great day to travel with the Nav'i and the rest of AK has to offer.
Friday: DHS Galaxy's Edge in and then the long drive home around 10AM. We should be able to get 3-4 hours of park time.
Unfortunately, we have to be back Friday night for a long planned church weekend that we could not work around.
