We are leaving May 8 for 4 days at HOME 
It will be me, my mama, and my brother. The 3 of us haven’t been at WDW together since November 1999! Definitely long overdue
We will be staying at All Star Sports due to my brother and I being college students and having teeny budgets.
This trip was sort of last minute…. Was daydreaming and planning a vacation when I saw how amazing the hotel rates were and how inexpensive the flights were. I knew then that I would be going but it was just a matter of who wants to join.
Got my brother on board as a siblings trip (with him living 3 hours away at college we don’t spend enough time together). Once my mama found out that we were going she tagged on because she knew it’d be a good time
Once it was set, I went into planning mode (which is my preferred mode). Within 48 hours I had FP+ booked, breakfast ressies at BoG, parks picked out. My planning binder was full before we even paid the trip in full hahahahah
So for our plans:
Only 2 set reservations (we are a more go with the flow and not big eaters). We are going to Hoop-de-doo Revue on Sunday night and BoG for breakfast on Tuesday morning. My mom wanted to book the Revue because when the “fam” went in 99 we ate there and we wanna have some serious nostalgia in this trip.
We also booked BoG because we are on the QS dining plan and it’s a great value! Plus, we love the restaurant and Brad (my brother) has never been.
Now to the itinerary….
SUNDAY: Fly out of DTW and land at MCO around 11, hop aboard the DME and head to ASSports. We will probably drop our bags and head out if the room isn’t ready. Since it’s a half day for us we will be out of the parks and exploring Disney Springs.
We are going to bowl at Splitsville, hit up a couple happy hours (did I mention Brad just turned 21, though we went to Vegas for that..) and then head over to Fort Wilderness for the show! Once we finish the show we plan to head back to the Poly to catch Wishes on the beach and grab a drink at the acclaimed Trader Sam’s. Depending on time, functionality, and energy we may do a SMALL monorail crawl. Either way we will uber back to the hotel after.
MONDAY: Up and at them bright in early (luckily we are all early risers, DB is usually 1st up at the frat house). We will probably hit the food court for a small breakfast and mucho coffee then head to MK!
I prefer getting to MK early because I love chatting with CM’s in the turnstile lines, you can get great pics in front of the train station and it gives my ample amount of time to let reality set in. Also, I have a lifelong hope that ONE day we will get picked to be the family of the day (Last year, DM and I tried real hard with our amazingly coordinated outfits, the CM that day must have been a Michigan fan….)
Anywho.. then we will, like I say, hit the parks hard. Since DB hasn’t been since 2007 we will follow his lead and the wait times to guide our morning. After lunch (hopefully at Skipper’s Canteen), we will begin using our FP+ for Space Mountain, Splash Mtn, and 7DMT.
Since DM and I just saw Festival of Fantasy in November and Bradley is a 21 yo college boy we will probably exit the park around 3/330 and go back to the resort for a poolside nap.
After we are planning on trying out a MK resort QS then heading back into MK (because you know RoL broke my heart and won’t be open). There we will reride, tour, and just enjoy nighttime in the MK and take advantage of the 11pm close.
TUESDAY: BoG breakfast! Hopefully we will get in early enough (MK EMH :/) to take some pics at the castle and annoy my brother to no end (usually for any “occasion” he limits the amount of pics we can take with him). After breakfast we will go against the flow to head over to DHS.
There we will be using FP+ early to get through the parks fast. We are doing TSM, ToT and Star Tours with FP. I just recently began SW obsessed but DM and DB aren’t really having it so they may switch over to GMR instead while I venture into the galaxy alone. Either way, we plan on doing single rider RnRC then hopping on some form of transportation to Epcot!
With the new 4th FP from your phone we may snag a TT time for when we get there, but if not we will attempt single rider. TT is our only Future World attraction this time because we plan on spending the rest of the day drinking around the world J
Our previous 2 attempts were good but this time I expect to be the best. 1st attempt for my 21st birthday trip ended with me tapping out in America and almost going to the hospital due to a previous unknown infection. 2nd attempt was complete but we shared d/t cost (I paid for the entire trip as a present to DM) and we also were more rushed for time. Oh and I took really cool pick on Snapchat but forgot to save them so, honestly did it ever really happen?
With no plans but Illuminations we should have an enjoyable day taking in the beauty of EP during Flower and Garden and really getting some quality family time.
WEDNESDAY: Departure day, which means up early to check bags. We then will head over to AK. We have FP+ for Expedition Everest, Safari and Kali River. We also plan to take in Lion King and whatever else tickles our fancy. After grabbing a much desired jalapeño pretzel we will head back to ASSports to catch DME L
Now all that’s left to do is…
Get MB
DM tags
Ordered shirts to come in
Make DATW shirts
Pack!
Hopefully this will be a great trip! Who knows we may even get Bradley hooked and I’ll have a buddy for my September trip
See Ya Real Soon!
