I'm so excited , I had to share somewhere so you lucky folks get to read along! This trip is our 1 year anniversary trip. Let me introduce the players:
Peggy (me): 10 year old stuck in a 35 year old body Disney lover (This will be my 10th trip to Disney).
Jared (DBF): 5 year old stuck in a 36 old body! Loves me and so is indulging me with this trip. He is slowly getting more interested as I tell him bits about what is planned!
Trip dates: October 27 - November 13, 2016
I have been planning this trip for about three months so far...we were hoping for Free Dining to stay on resort, but since the dates didn't work out, we have booked a beautiful 1 bedroom condo just off site. It is 8 minutes from our door to Magic Kingdom - it's horrible, but somehow we'll manage!
Plans are firming up as I begin to make dining reservations, and get our tickets to MNSSHP and MVMCP purchased (which I did today)! We plan to split our time between Disney World, Universal Studios and the water parks. We have purchased 7 day park hopper plus water park tickets for Disney, and 14 day unlimited (consecutive) day tickets for Universal. This is our schedule:
Thursday, Oct 27: Travel day, arrive in Orlando at 4 pm
Friday, Oct 28: Rest in the am, MNSSHP at 4 pm. I let DBF pick our costumes - he selected Gaston and Village Belle. I've got the fabric purchased and will be sewing the costumes soon!
Saturday, Oct 29: Blizzard Beach
Sunday, Oct 30: Epcot. This is the night we are having our Anniversary dinner. I got a -fantastic- reservation at Rose and Crown for 7:45 pm. I've noted our anniversary on the reservation. I plan to go a little early and request a patio fireworks table. DBF has never been, so won't really know what I'm up to or what he's in for!
Monday, Oct 31: Magic Kingdom until 4, then hop over to Epcot to enjoy F&W
Tuesday, Nov 1: Universal Studios - lunch or dinner will hopefully be at the Leaky Cauldron.
Wednesday, Nov 2: Hollywood Studios, dinner at Prime Time Diner
Thursday, Nov 3: Animal Kingdom - I can't wait to see the new night time shows, activities and rides!
Friday, Nov 4: Universal Studios
Saturday, Nov 5: Wet'n'Wild waterpark
Sunday, Nov 6: Islands of Adventure - Lunch or dinner will hopefully be at the Three Broomsticks
Monday, Nov 7: Epcot, late lunch at Biergarten in Germany.
Tuesday, Nov 8: Hollywood Studios during the day, late lunch at the Sci Fi, then we're going to do the Monorail Pub Crawl at the Contemporary, Poly and Grand Floridian!
Wednesday, Nov 9: Blizzard beach OR Wet'n'Wild (whichever we enjoyed more)
Thursday, Nov 10: Rest in the morning, and attend MVMCP in the evening!
Friday, Nov 11: Islands of Adventure
Saturday, Nov 12: Park hoping at Disney, hitting any of the rides DBF or I want to do 'just one more time'!
Sunday, Nov 13: Universal studios until about 1:30, then head to the airport. Our flight out is at 5:30 so we can check in any time between 2:30 and 3:30.
