Due to popular votes, I'm posting my trip plans-hope that's ok!!

A little background (more details in my PTR w/ link in my signature):

General info: we've already ordered our APs (before price increase!!!) and we'll be taking a "nap break" daily

Sept trip: DH, DS4, DS20months, me and DMIL going for free dining! We're staying at ASSp. This will be our first time staying on property and our second trip to Disney. We will be celebrating DH and DS4's birthday on this trip. They share a birthday in July and we just can't go right now...this is the first time we can go.

Dec trip: DH, DS4, DS2, me and our two friends. We will be staying at AKL-CL and our friends are staying at a value resort. It will be their first time on property but far from their first Disney trip. Looking for a good idea for something for them-they've been so amazing since we moved here, couldn't ask for better friends! :goodvibes It's only fair that if we're going for DH and DS4's birthdays, that we should go for the other kid's and mine of course! My "baby" will be two a couple weeks before we go and my birthday's actually while we're there!! We've added the dining plan to help keep our (my) meal plans afordable.

The Sept Plans:

9/17 Leave work at noon and be on the road by 1. Convince the boys to sleep in the van on the way there. Planning on being to Disney by 7, either having dinner on the way there or once we get to Disney.

9/18 morning - MK, afternoon - DHS
B: Crystal Palace 10:10 (trying to get a better time for this or CM's...)
L: Chef Mickey's 1:00
D: ??

9/19 morning - AK, afternoon - MNSSHP
B: Tusker house 8:00
L: ??
Cool Dude appointment for DS4 at 3:40 (this is more for me than him since I don't have little girls!)
D: Tony's Town Square 4:30

9/20 morning - DHS (if the boys get up), afternoon - EPCOT
B: ??
L: ??
D: Coral Reef (already contacted Debbi regarding diver and personalized menus, ordered custom cake to celebrate DH and DS4's birthday)

9/21 morning - ??, afternoon - departure :sad1:

Dec trip Plans
12/10 Leave work at noon, be on the road by 1, trying to convince the boys to nap in the car. Hopefully be to Disney by 7 to check in. Our friends are probably riding with us to save on gas.

12/11 morning - EPCOT, afternoon - MVMCP
B: Akershus 8:40
L: ??
D: Liberty Tree Tavern 4:30

12/12 morning - rest, afternoon - EPCOT
B: ???
L: Grand Floridian Cafe 12:00 noon
D: ??
Am going to order a custom cake at lunch to celebrate DS2 and my birthday. DS2 loves Nemo and Dis (aka Mickey Mouse) so that will probably be his cake.

12/13 morning - MK, afternoon - DHS
B: Chef Mickey's 7:05
L: ??
D: Sci-Fi Dine In

12/14 morning - MK, afternoon - depature :sad1:
B: Cindy's Royal Table 8:05 (I'm not looking for a great meal...just want to eat in the castle once!)
L: ??

Let me know what you think. We're really hooked on Disney now but we've got so much to learn!! I'm trying to fit a lot more in our Sept trip since DMIL is coming and it's her first time with our family. December is looking more like a laid back trip.
 
As far as I know you can. I would love to read your trip plans and help with any info that I can.:thumbsup2
 
As far as I know, that would be one of the reasons that this board is here! :)

Post Away! I'd love to look over your plans and see if there is anything that I can help you with!
 

You can only post them if they won't make me jealous! :teeth:
 
I wanna see!!!! I love seeing others' plans - it makes me feel so much better that I am not the only uber planner and that my family is totally wrong that I am the only one who has a spreadsheet. :worship:

Me too, my goal is to loosen up next trip! Ds will be 3 so if he wants to play in the fountains, or ride small world 10 times so be it! i am also going to cut back on some adr, at least this is my plan. lol I have a plan on how not to over plan! I have issues!:lmao:

Me too!! I'm trying to show a bit of restraint on these trips but it's very hard! I keep hearing about all of the really cool things to do and try to fit them into our trips before Disney takes them away.

Ok I'm putting the plans in the first post to (hopefully) not confuse people too much!! Thank you for any tips and advice you can give me. :surfweb:
 
Just a shameless bump to my own thread to get some feedback on my plans. Hopefully they're not that bad that y'all are afraid to tell me?? :confused3
 
your plans look great so far. I highly recommend the sunrise safari for guests staying CL at AKL it was the highlight of our trip that year. My 18mo son loved seeing all the animals and didnt make a peep the whole time. Breakfast was fantastic. Really it is amazing.

i agree - the reason we stayed at the AKL concierge was to be able to do the sunrise safari.....it was outstanding....
i didn't know they let little kids on it though...i thought there was an age limit, but maybe not...
 
Your plans look good. Have Fun on your two trips.:goodvibes
 
Thanks all!

I'm going to check on the sunrise safarris...I thought I couldn't take my boys on it, which is why we were holding off...one go one day and one another.:goodvibes

We just can't wait to go. And I can't wait to come back and write a TR and shower you all with food porn and endless pictures.:rotfl:
