SATURDAY SEPT 27
breakfast: F&W Parisian Breakfast @ Chefs de France
lunch: Sci-Fi with friends
dinner: QS at Boardwalk or MK? maybe Epcot?
This is DAPPER DAY! Our Parisian Breakfast will be in the morning. Our plan is to go to this maybe with some Dapper Day preparations done (hair, make-up?) but not in our full outfits. Our resort is pretty close to both Epcot & DHS so well head back to Coronado after breakfast to get completely ready. Our Sci-Fi lunch is at 1:30p so as long as we make it to the park by then, were golden. Well stay in DHS til park close, then check out the evening Dapper Day events at the Boardwalk. We dont have too much information on this yet so its kind of a blind spot. MK is open til 1am that night, so at some point we will definitely make it over there to ride some rides in our fluffy dresses.
PARISIAN BREAKFAST, you know how excited we all are for this already ^_^ And weve already spilled our guts about Dapper Day too haha
Okay so Sarah makes fun of me but this day will be inteeeense for me! Ill wake up super early to get my hair and make up done and be ready in time to go to Epcot. Im a make up junkie so Im not worried about my make up lasting for like 16 hours but I know I will have to take quite some time to put it together. My hair is another story because its so thin and it doesnt hold a curl that well so a battle will be fought but well see.
Also, I still think that eating a hot dog and watching Wishes in Dapper Day outfits would be amazing but well see cause maybe well trade that for dancing at the Boardwalk.
THIS DAY IS GOING TO BE SO PERFECT! Starting off with the Parisian breakfast (which we worked so hard to get, as you all know) and I just am SO excited for Dapper Day, its gonna be the BOMB DIGGITY B) Also Ana will u do my hair for me pls?
Yes okay, girl yk I aint getting on this plane without my curling iron! Remind me to link you to this girl I found on youtube with great vintage styles so you can pick what you want.
SUNDAY SEPT 28
lunch: Wolfgang Puck Express
dinner: MK QS
On this day, we will probably sleep in a little bit. Our resort stay ends today, and we have to check out of our room by 11:00am
Weve got a laid back day planned, where well explore DTD and go shopping in the first half. Well have a lateish lunch at Wolfgang Puck Express, and head back to Kaelas apartment. Then it will be time to get ready for MNSSHP!! As you know, were going as the Avengers & it shouldnt take us too long to get ready. And as you know from our last post, our friend Sarah is going to be joining us for this!! We already got our costume bows, so we're gonna need to get a move on in getting one for her too. She'll be the Hulk of our group. Since we have party tickets, this is the one day where we can book FP+ in advance! Were trying to book 7DMT FP+ before the party starts, well see if were successful. Our current idea is to get something quick to eat about 1-1.5 hours before the party begins, and bring our food in line with us for whatever we choose to do first (probably the Dwarfs!). Were not leaving this party until the doors close so its gonna be a bangin night.
Our bows once again ^_^ Gotta get a Hulk bow now too!!
I havent ever been to a hard ticket party at WDW so, Im not sure what to expect, but our costumes should be really fun, hopefully I get to meet some characters we cant ordinarily meet, and Kaela has seriously hyped up the Halloween entertainment so JUST GIVE IT ALL TO ME NOW!
I kinda cant wrap my mind around MNSSHP. Because like, Ive wanted to do this for YEARS. And I came really close to making the trip last year because I wanted it so bad but aaah! I love that Im doing my first MNSSHP with my girls tbh. And also candy. Imma get so much candy tbh and I wont regret it.
And Im doing glittery red and yellow make up and I CANNOT WAIT FOR THAT!
I did MNSSHP last year and had SUCH a good time and Im beyond ready to go again! I love Halloween at WDW and I probably could start a fan club for the Boo to You Parade, so Im of course gonna have us watch that (probably twice). Were still working on our plan of action for the party (using our fav site, easywdw of course) and Im so jazzed for everything were gonna do!
MONDAY SEPT 29
meals: Food & Wine Festival booths
So this is the day we plan on spending in World Showcase, checking out all of the Food & Wine Booths! Weve made a list of all the menus at each booth and individually ranked the dishes we most want to try. It looks like well be trying a really good mix of food. And if we snack and drink throughout the day, well be able to pace ourselves and not need to have a sit down lunch or dinner. This will maximize our time to see ...Hanson. Right, Ana?
Im just gonna tell you what a few of my MOST anticipated dishes are! Brazil has a crispy pork belly that looks divine, the Canada booth has 2 things I really want: Cheddar Cheese Soup & the filet mignon. Japan has a steamed gyoza bun that sounds a LOT like something I read about at Tokyo Disney so I really want to try that, and finally Scotland has a seared sea scallop that sounds right up my alley! Yum. I dont like beer so anything I drink will be a girly, fruity mixed drink or wine.
Hanson is relevant. Its so relevant omg.
But I gotta say Im kinda equally excited about F&W. It sounds silly but omg I am so excited to eat so many of those things!
I made a beautiful spreadsheet that we all used to put in our preferences so that we have an idea about what we want and I cant even look at it because I feel like Ill want it all. But there are def some things Im going for such as: Filet mignon, chicken curry, the dessert trio, the beef skewer, and prob the fishermans pie. Oh and prob that lobster alfredo.
Omg Im so excited about the Food & Wine day because I know just like last year Im gonna try AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. I hope that well have enough food that we can share some things but lets be real - I know Im gonna end up getting like 5 of those Italian raviolis just for myself. oops. Im particularly looking forward to re-trying some of my favorites from last year, like frozen smores, Italian raviolis, and Canadian cheddar cheese soup! Oh and also I cant wait to see Ana watching Hanson hahaha thats gonna be great
my ravioli from last year nom nom
TUESDAY SEPT 30
lunch: Whispering Canyon Cafe
dinner: MK QS?
late night snack: Caseys Corner around Wishes time
We dont have much planned this day. Its our last day! For a long time we didnt even have any ADRs planned, but we really wanted to squeeze in Whispering Canyon into this trip. As you can tell by the rest of our ADRs, were not that big into breakfast and we tentatively liked the idea of watching Wishes and eating Caseys hot dogs on our very last night. So that basically left us with WCC lunch (endless milkshakes~). The rest of the day, anything could happen, its just highly likely that we end up back in MK by the end of the night!
We should probably stay up late sleepover-style since it will be our last night together for who knows how long !!! PLEASE
YESSS sleepover lets stay up late and watch movies and party. Also Im SO EXCITED for Whispering Canyon, I love those milkshakes so much omg. And Im happy that we have a day relatively un-planned so we can just wing it and do whatever we please ^_^ I was thinking maybe we could also go to T-Rex to get that cotton candy martini on this day
I love that we planned this in. A quiet, do whatever, no pressure day. I hate that its our last day because who wants to get to their last day lol but Im also happy to look back at the trip weve planned and realize that weve basically been able to have everything we wanted scheduled. That weve had such a long vacation that we could squeeze in this day where we can do whatever we want.
Also #ketchup
WEDNESDAY OCT 1
breakfast: airport Starbucks
Were headed home! If we could have dragged this day out longer, we would have but Anas only flight option was at 11:05am. Sarah booked one at the same time. So we will head to the airport and be home by evening
I dont want to go
I dont want you to go
Spoiler alert, there will be tears
Now that were all sad talking about the end of our trip lets wrap it up haha. As you can see we have a LOT planned and were so so excited to do all of it! Its gonna be such a great trip and every day we get closer makes us more excited ^_^

Hello and welcome!! Let us know when you catch up ^_^Just popping in to say I'm following along! I'll catch up here soon!
I can't believe none of you guys will ride Soarin'! I've never been on it but I'm sure it can't be that bad so I'll definitely go. I'm going to have to bribe all of you. Heights aren't scary.
If I'm gonna ride RocknRoller Coaster, you especially can ride Soarin' Ana.
And I'm gonna have a little personal Dapper Day update for y'all a little later in the week
WE'RE AT 34 DAYS!!!!!

All caught up! Just a tip for soarin, try and request the gondola closest to the ground. Honestly it's such a cool ride that it's so worth a bit of fright! (It freaks me out too) and I've found that the second go around is usually better!
This is an adorable ptr and I wish I was part of your friend group!

If it makes you feel any better I am terrified of heights and I never get scared on Soarin'!! My dad is super sensitive to motion sickness and he's never had a problem with Soarin' obviously your mileage may vary but I think Soarin' is pretty tame and definitely worth doing.
And I LOVE Rock n Roller Coaster!!! It's a super short ride so if you get scared just keep in mind it's only about a minute and a half long, you'll be done before you know it.

Weve got some Dapper Day details to share with you today!! Previously, I had decided on a Dapper Day dress from Pin-Up Girl Clothing. I knew I wanted a floral pattern with big flowers and a lighter background. Ana helped me find this dress:
I eventually got my heart really set on it and loved it, but in the end I waited too long to order it. I was about to do it one day in the week but decided to wait til the weekend and by then, my size was gone. And it wont be restocked until sometime next year So it was back to the drawing board for me
Ana once again helped me out a lot. The dress didnt have to be blue but thats what we searched for first. I searched all over, probably looked at 50 different dresses and seriously couldnt find anything I really liked. Im super picky with patterns! The good thing about the original dress being unavailable was that it was actually pretty expensive and all the other dresses I was looking at were about half the cost. So at least Im saving a bunch of money. Last week I finally decided on AND PURCHASED a dress. It arrived today!!! Here I yam:
It looks really nice!! The pattern is really pretty in person and Im excited. It came really wrinkly so Im a little nervous in terms of packing. Ill try to keep it in a suitcase as little as possible.
Now all Ive got to do figure out a little accessorizing. Ive got a nice pearl necklace Ill prob wear, and I bought some cheap lace gloves to see if thats something Id like to use. The hair situation is still completely in the air. The last element is shoes because I dont already own anything that I could use for this. Im absolutely in love with this pair of shoes (and another pair very similar to it)
They have a bunch of colors and Im not sure which color/style Ill end up getting but I love these SO MUCH and Im planning on getting these :3 I wouldnt have been able to afford them at all if Id gotten the original dress, so thats some silver lining there! Yay!!
Well, I FINALLY went shopping for fabrics and supplies for our fascinators and petticoats!
Here you see some feathers for the fascinators, some fabric to construct the bases. I got ribbon for our petticoats and A LOOOOT of tulle for those as well.
Not pictured, I also got some really pretty elastic lace that I like to use at the waist of the petticoats.
Im very happy I got all of this rn because I need to keep myself busy so I stop counting back the days lol
Im gonna start on these this weekend. Hopefully.
I kinda just need to get something done about my shoes because I wanted to wear a pair of shoes I know I had but apparently I moved them when I remodeled my closet a while back and I cannot find them anywhere! I dont really wanna spend more money at this point but aaaah Ill have no choice but to go searching for shoes. Sigh. Itll all be worth it in the end!
And last but not least, it is very important that most of these things are coming together because OMG LET ME TAKE A BREATH
WE HAVE ONE MONTH LEFT!!!
THIS IS REAL YALL! WERE ON THE FINAL COUNTDOWN!
