Hi all,
This is my first time writing one of these out, so go easy on me.
Couple things:
We got selected for MyMagic+ and Magic Bands. We still haven't bought our tickets, cause I am still undecided on if I should buy a DVC member annual pass. I don't know if I'll be able to link it to the FastPass+ because I wouldn't get it until I got to Guest Services. Does anyone know what happens if you don't set up FastPass+? Can you just use FastPass like you used to? We reserved Magical Express, and we are staying at Boardwalk from Wed-Sat. We decided to add another night, but we couldn't get BW for that Sunday night, so we will be moving to Saratoga for our final night of the trip. It almost seems like this trip is too short, so I'm sure when we are there it will feel like it is going by even faster.
Wednesday, Jan. 22
After working shortened days, J and I will be flying down to ORL and should get in to the Boardwalk around 9-930, and we will hope to catch a late dinner at either Flying Fish or ESPN Club.
Thursday, Jan. 23
We have early morning reservations at Kona for breakfast, and then plan to hop the monorail to the MK until it gets too crowded or we get tired of it. We usually do the 'split day' tactic, and go back to the hotel during the day before going to another park at night. We have reservations right before Illuminations at Le Cellier.
Friday, Jan. 24
We plan to hit Animal Kingdom in the morning, and I was thinking about eating at Yak & Yeti, but I've never been to AK, so I don't really know how to plan anything for that park. We will probably go back to Epcot at night for EMH, and I was thinking about eating at Garden Grille.
Saturday, Jan. 25
Plan to hit Hollywood in the morning, and probably keep the night open, maybe hit MK. Don't have any ADRs for this day, but I would like to plan at least one more.
Sunday, Jan. 26
We always tend to leave the last day open, but I always try to end my Disney trip at the Magic Kingdom. Something about looking down Main Street before you go back to reality gives me an inner peace.
Monday, Jan. 27
We are then up early for a 7:20 flight out of MCO, and we both have to work that day!
I would love to hear any and all recommendations! I have never been to AK and I really don't know how to plan for it. Any other dinner spots we should hit? How should we set up our day? Has anyone flown out of MCO on Monday morning? I know it is typical for it to be horribly slow to get through security, just wondering if it is any worse at the beginning of the work week.
Although I have been to WDW over 25 times, I have gotten very predictable in my routine. I want to mix it up this time around, so I'd love to hear any recommendations you all have! I've still never seen Fantasmic and just wanted to know if it was worth it.
Last question for a pre-trip report that is already way too long! J is my significant other, and although I'm not at the point of proposing yet (I'm only 25), I'd like to do something very special for her on this trip. I already bought some earrings from the Disney store which I will give to her on the plane on the way down. This trip coincides with our two year anniversary and we agreed to take it easy on the gifts, but I still want to do something special for her! Any ideas?
Anyways, thanks for reading my rambling! A little more than a month before I am back at truly the best place in the world. Hopefully we will see some of you there!
