Kacie's Birthday Vacay Pre-Trip Report: 20 Days Out!!!!

yay I am just 20 short days from another fantastic birthday trip to THE WORLD.

Here are the goods:

WHO: Myself, turning 26 and my wonderful boyfriend, Preston. We will be seeing my sister (CM) and my mother.

WHEN: Wed. November 28th to Mon. December 3rd

WHERE: Disney's Coronado Springs, perferred room, KING SIZED BED.

WHY: Because I am turning 26 wheelchair

WHAT: 4 day park hoppers, Mickey's Very Merry Xmas Party, Candelight Processional, and some AWESOME ADRs!!!!!

Break Down:

11/28 Wed: After a regular teaching day.....fly out of Philly at 4:30, arrive in Orlando at 6:45. Spend the evening in Downtown Disney. SIDENOTE: On all my family trips to DW as a kid, we ALWAYS spend the first night at DD, and at least 3 of those trips we ate at Rainforest Cafe. It was sort of like a tradition. Always gets my brain in DISNEY MODE. Well last trip we DID NOT DO THIS. This trip WE ARE! I am very excited. It's like a smooth transition from real world to magic world. And I think we are gonna spend a QS Credit at Wolfgang Puck Express and split a dinner. Smile

11/29 Thurs: Breakfast at Pepper Market. Rope drop at MK. Snack at some point, then early dinner at Les Chefs de France. Then, we are trying to make the 5:00 pm Candlelight Processional with NEIL PATRICK FREAKIN HARRIS. I hear these are hard to get into, but we are gonna do our best. That said, we do have tickets for MVMCP that evening at 7:00, sooooooo.....YEAH.

11/30 Fri: Nothing set in stone as far as parks or anything. ADRs at Bongos that evening with my mom and her hubby.

12/1 Sat: BDay lunch at Le Celleir (THANK YOU ANGELS444!!!!) Dinner at Tutto Italy very late. Might try for Candlelight Processional again if unsecessful.

12/2 Sun: ADRs for Kona Cafe for breakfast. Lunch at BOG (I HOPE). ADRs at Kouzzina (I am super excited about eating here.) Late EMH until 11 pm at DHS that evening.

12/3 Mon: Character Breakfast at Cape May Cafe before departing on DME to go home. Sad I return to teaching the next day.

I think there is a good mix of food. I didn't really minute by minute plan this trip like I did our August trip. I want this to be more relaxed and romantic. Also....fewer drunken antics.

Also, I need to take more pics!!!!!

I'm so jealous you get to go back so soon already! But I'm even more jealous you get to see Neil Patrick Harris! I'm also really excited to hear how you like Kouzinna...I haven't heard a lot of reviews for there and we are planning on trying it our next trip. Have a great time!

Hon, if you want to see NEIL PATRICK FREAKIN HARRIS (yes I am SOOO jealous) at his first show, you might need to line up EARLY. (When we were there last month, people started lining up to see Hanson around noon.)

So plan your day accordingly - you don't want to get out of your ADR and discover the line is already forming for NPH's last show, which would interfere with your visit to MVMCP. My suggestion would be midday lunch instead of a snack, then snack while waiting in line for NPH, then dinner over at MVMCP.

So I just changed to 1:40 Les Chefs De France ADRs but now Im not sure if that;s the best option....

This is all so confusing!!!!

Ok so here are the changes I made.

I cancelled Tutto Italy on Sat and Got Les Chefs de France ADRs that day bc I do not want to eat lunch there (Preston's favorite dish is not on the menu at lunch.

Right now i have NO ADRs for the 29th. We will probably eat lunch at Tangerine Cafe before the CP, and then dinner will be....who the heck knows!!!

But now you KNOW you'll be free to get in line for NPH's 5:00 show as early as necessary.

And you won't miss out much where food is concerned - Epcot's World Showcase is full of great counter-service options.

THANK YOU so much for your help and encouragment regarding this. I am happy with my choice!
