Week After Turkey Day Shenanigans

[Meeko5]

We are planning to eat there this year. I've heard nothing but good things!

Which meal are you doing? I tried talking DH into breakfast but he's a 3rd shifter lol. Mornings are not his favorite. But at Disney he sucks it up for me

We are doing an early dinner. 4:30ish I think.

We're doing a late breakfast. I'm hoping we'll rope drop Joy & Sadness, then ride Soarin' standby, then eat.

I like this plan. A lot!

I'm still so torn on how to FP at Epcot. I want to do FEA, but don't want to use our FP For it since we can split soarin and test track using baby swap. We can hope to get there early enough to ride at RD without a crazy wait, but also see Baymax and joy/sadness. We will end up having 1.5 days at Epcot and 1.5 days at HS I think so there's got to be a reasonable way to accomplish all that without crazy waits (ha!)

Also I will have our old bands for SDFP...I think we can get both soarin and TT as SDFP early on Epcot days, just not for mornings probably....that might have to be my strategy. And get FP for FEA.

 

[heath92681]

I think we'll skip Soarin (gasp! I know...) unless DH or my mom want to ride it. FEA and TT will be the priorities. We'd also like to meet Baymax, but could leave or take Joy/Sadness....

We're doing the same thing for TT and Soarin' (rider swap rules!) But we have 2 days so we'll be doing one day of FEA and one day of rider swap.

I'm trying to figure out FP at Epcot too. We have 1.5 days there. I have GG reservations for a late lunch on Sat 12/26, I know it's going to be crowded but I'm hoping to get some FP for that day, and then we have our other full day on Weds 11/30. Joy/Sadness are a priority for us, as well as Baymax. I'm thinking FEA and Soarin are priority FP for us, Joy/Sadness and Baymax at rope drop, and then hope for the best for TT? So jealous of you guys with rider swap!!

We will only have 1 morning at Epcot, so this is making it tough...I have to make a choice!

We are only doing afternoon/evening at Epcot, so no rope drop strategy....Also, it just hit me that if my little one actually hits 40" no rider swap for us....

 

[Meeko5]

I'd rather RD FEA, mostly because even my youngest can wait in line with us. At the other tier 1's we have to split up so id rather FP those to minimize time we aren't all together.

However my 7yo is very anti Frozen so if it's a long wait even at RD he's going to be miserable lol. That, and anything more than 30ish minutes is too long for the 2yo. But he loves Olaf!

I know what you mean about the long wait time- mine won't be able to wait more than 20 mins for sure. We have a PPO for Akershsus one day so I plan to do FEA and Joy and Sadness that morning. Then maybe FP/ rider swap TT and Soarin. We'd probably do FP for FEA the other day we're in EPCOT.

Are you meeting Olaf at DHS?

That PPO Askerhus is golden! If I could get my oldest to go near a princess I'd have considered it hha.

I'm planning on the Olaf meet for sure! He's going to love it

Now that we are staying at BC, I'm thinking I want a reservation at Cape May......I can still walk up to Beaches and Cream and get ice cream to go, right?

I think so, but some of the specialty sundaes are dine in only if I recall right...

Actually, as of last fall you could get smaller versions of the specialty sundaes at the to go window as well (like the No Way Jose and whatnot). I've also heard wonderful things about Ample Hills over at Boardwalk, so it might be worth it to walk over that way instead.

Happy first day of school!

 

[BDFmom]

All the tier 1 .... Baymax, Joy/Sadness are all on our Epcot wish list. And the holidays around the world.
If the kids are not into the holidays around the world they can go off on their own while mama has a drink around the world.
