Hi Everyone,

RL update about my Thanksgiving trip

First of all I am going, yay I did not cancel.

Today was FP$$ day.

I arrive late Tuesday evening with a one night stay at AS Sports I requested a room in the Hoops section on a higher floor so we shall see.

Wednesday, I will head over to Universal Studios and Islands to look at the Christmas Decorations, find Earl the Squirrel in the tree, check out the Christmas tribute store, and most importantly pick up my Grinch magnet and pin! I plan to head back to Disney late afternoon and check into the Swan. My first stay here!

Hopefully my room will be ready. Oh no, I just realized I will need to store my luggage at AS Sports or go to the Swan in the morning with my luggage ugh I didn’t even think about the fact that The Swan isn’t part of Disney so luggage transfer is not a thing. Oh well, I think I can add one stop with my Lyft driver so I will have him stop at The Swan to drop off my luggage before heading to Universal Studios.

Wednesday evening will be a visit to AK. There are extra evening hours at AK on Wednesday. I’m really excited to see AK at night and ride Dinosaur. I didn’t make any FP$$ for today. I have a goal to see all the parks in the evening except MK, not as important to me.

Thanksgiving Day, I plan to start at MK. I have FP$$ for PPF, HM, and PotC. I will have lunch with Stacy at Crystal Palace. I am wearing my Pooh and Friends sweater for the meal. I plan to head to DHS for the evening to see the park at night. I want to try and get a few FP$$ at DHS for the night.

Friday, I plan on spending time in Epcot, it is the first day of the Festival of the Holidays! I imagine it will be a very busy park. I have FP$$ for Remy, LwtL, and Soarin. I hope to see Stacy again for a drink or a ride at Epcot.

I will probably go over to MK later afternoon. There is a party this evening so I will leave at 6pm and check out the monorail resorts before heading back to the Swan.

Saturday, is AK, I have FP$$ for Dinosaur, Zootopia, FoP, and Safari. This evening I will spend time at the Epcot resorts checking out the Christmas decorations.

Sunday, is MK with FP$$ for Jingle Cruise, HM, PoTC. This is a party day so hopefully it won’t be too crowded.

My evening will be checking out Epcot at night. My plan is to get a FP$$ for LwtL at night. I tossed around going to DS at some point on the trip, and it is not ranking very high on my to do list. Just too crowded for me!

Monday is my last day. My flight leaves at 6:20pm so I plan on DHS in the morning with FP$$ for MMRR, TSMM, and ToT. I plan to end my day at Epcot with a few more Holiday treats before heading home!

I’m really excited for my solo time and taking in all the Christmas decorations. My focus will be on the little things and not rushing from one thing to another. I have absolutely no dining plans except for the one meal with Stacy. Much different than my trip in October with the BFP, haha .

I think that is it! I leave one week from today!

Sounds like a fun trip! Safe travels and have a great time!
