Oct 24: O'hana breakfast, then AK day- including the Wild Africa Trek!
Heading over to Cabana Bay at Universal after AK for our first visit there
 
Heading down to my favorite place on October 2nd-7th. This was very much a spur of the moment decision. I usually plan for every trip at least a year out (I love to Plan), but this trip was just booked, I did manage to get some decent food reservations. Really excited for Food & Wine!!
 
I'm kidnapping my daughter from college in FL, and we are driving to WDW for a surprise visit! October 21: Magic Kingdom AM and Epcot PM October 22: AK in the AM and HS in the PM and then back to MK since there isn't much to do at HS. I am very excited to have this mom/daughter weekend time together.
 
Counting down the days. DH isn't that interested in talking about it and the kids don't know so I'm here, barely containing excitement.

Oct. 8: wake up kids for trip to "Phoenix", give them start of scavenger hunt with last clue at airport, get to airport and they find out about WDW. Yay! Then, after a stop at the grocery store, head to USO for yet another surprise. :)
Oct. 9: USO and Blue Man Group
Oct. 10: USO
Oct. 11: USO in morning, checkout, move to AKL, Boma dinner
Oct. 12: Epcot with Via Napoli meal
Oct. 13: AK with Tusker House
Oct. 14: MK with BOG lunch and HDDR dinner
Oct. 15: HS with 50's PT and then adult dinner at V&A
Oct. 16: DS/DTD with Dinosaur lunch, MNSSHP
Oct. 17-18: kind of playing it by ear; we have some ADRs but will see what the kids want to do
Oct. 19: depart

Trying to predict when the magic bands will come so I can get the mail and not the kids. DD is starting to get snoop-y so I have to hide this stuff.
 
4 weeks from RIGHT NOW we'll be scanning for our first FP of our trip YAAAAAAAAAAAAAA:yay::yay::yay::yay:
