2018 Pre-Trip Plans
Okay, so I just decided to jump on and do a quick post about upcoming plans. Well we have two 2018 trips planned AND booked! Our first is June 3-June 7 at BRV, using DVC points. Our second is currently Oct 3-Oct 7 for the Halloween party. Tomorrow is FP day for our June trip and Friday is ADR day for our October trip! It is Spring Break here so kind of annoying that I am waking up early 2 days while on vaca (especially since AJ and Will are at my parents' house tonight) but there just may be no helping it...and I suppose it is better than doing it on a work day.
For June, we are only doing 1 park day at MK on Tuesday June 5th. So not too much to book. We are driving down Sunday, June 3rd and will do a pool afternoon and then probably will hit up Top of the World Lounge to see HEA that night. Monday will be a resort day with a breakfast at WCC, some pool time, water craft rental, and Hoop Dee Doo Revue. Tuesday is MK with a PPO at BOG and a dinner at BOG. Yes, overkill...but I had been hoping to book EMM and that isn't happening that day so a PPO it is. Will is finally tall enough for 7DMT so I want as many rides as we can on it. Wednesday will be a Disney Springs visit with lunch at Polite Pig and then dinner at Sanaa with some of Chad's friends, then campfire/marshmallow roasting/Geyser Point visiting/movie watching back at WL. Thursday will be a visit to the outlets and then driving home.
Here's a snippet of my touring plan so you can see the FPs I am going to try booking in the AM:
So basically 7DMT at 2 different times (2 each), Pooh (for 2), PPF (4) and Splash (2). We will be doing some passing of MBs though as Chad and Will will get to use more of the FPs than AJ and I will but I really want Will to get as many rides on 7D as he wants with neither adult having to ride alone, and I want DH and Will to get a ride on Splash.
I may try to do the DVC tour on Monday bc 1) I am interested in possibly adding on and 2) it will give us 3 extra FPs per person and we may need them just to get done what we want to on that one MK day. I think they do it at WL now anyway, so it certainly wouldn't be difficult to get done on our resort day.
Moving on to October, we are planning to drive down Wed Oct 3rd after work, taking it easy the AM of the 4th, doing the Halloween party that night, possibly doing DHS the Fri or the Saturday (if we stay through Sunday) and maybe DS and the Sleepy Hollow event at FW on Friday (if we stay through Sunday). I had initially booked us through Friday thinking we would just do the party but then added one night to do 1 park, and then added another to do Sleepy Hollow/DS. We are booked at Pop. I want to do a PPO at DHS so we can get the boys signed up easy for JTA, then either Boathouse or Homecomin' for our DS day.
Our October plans are in question though, just because I am trying to change districts and my current distrivct and both districts I am applying to all have different fall breaks. So there may be future changes, fingers crossed!
So, quick and dirty run through of our plans. I'll come back tomorrow and let you know how it goes and hopefully get started on our last park day of the TR.
Up next: Day Eight 6/10/2017 ~ DHS (part 1)
