I'm pumped. 14 days away, 11 day/10 night trip. Haven't been to DWorld in 20+ years since I was a kid. Finally!!!
Staying at All Star Movies including the DxDP, got 20 Dining Reservations lined up, with 3 days in MK, 2 days at AK AND EP, and 1 day at HS (with early morning magic) and 1 resort day to relax, rent some sea raycers and just chill. We wanted to do one day at Universal, but man, $600+ for single day. Didn't wanna cram 2 parks in one day and spend $600, so we will just use our 8th day on an extra Animal Kingdom Day.
But this feels like a 3 week vacay sorta because I nabbed a SWGE reservation for June 1st!!! And a World of Color dining package for June 2nd for gf's bday, so now with the SWGE reservation, I can book ANOTHER dining reservation at DLR before we enter the land, since I got the 8pm-midnight time... wow, what a cool 3 weeks coming up... now, I just gotta wait these pesky 14 days for this...
Departing day - flight leaves at 12:55am!!!
Day 1 - Arrival at 11am, nap in room, relax from the overnight flight and then shower up and get ready for dinner at The Boathouse
Day 2 - Animal Kingdom - breakfast at Boma, then a light day at the park, then back to the room to change for dinner at The Flying Fish and Boardwalk fun after (will prob leave park around 4-5pm)
Day 3 - Magic Kingdom - full day at the park starting at The Wave for Breakfast, Jungle Skipper Cateen for Lunch and BOG for dinner
Day 4 - Hollywood Studios - Early Morning hours and full day at the park, then early lunch at Mama's, dinner at Brown Derby and some Fantasmic after! This will be our only day at HS.
Day 5 - Resort Day - breakfast at Whispering Canyon, rent some sea raycers, visit the Poly and GF, then head back to room to get ready for dinner at California Grill (this will be a waste going back and forth, but we wanna get dressed up and do California Grill right!)
Day 6 - Animal Kingdom - full day at AK with lunch at Yak & Yeti and then dinner at Tiffins with ROL to cap off the night
Day 7 - Epcot - full day at the park with lunch at Coral Reef and dinner at Le Cellier
Day 8 - Epcot - full day at the park with lunch at Teppen Edo and dinner at La Hacienda
Day 9 - Magic Kingdom - breakfast at Kona Cafe, then a full day at the park with Ohana booked for dinner
Day 10 - Magic Kingdom - breakfast at 1900 Park Fare, then a full day at the park that includes dinner at Hoop-Dee-Doo (hopefully a great last dinner to a great vacation, of hopefully even more to come in the future)
Day 11 Departure day - possible breakfast at the food court at All Star Movies, then pack up, cry and leave Disney World...
... but wait, there's more???....
Day 12 (a week later) - Half day at
Disneyland since we're local AP'ers, dinner TBD, then Star Wars Galaxy's Edge 8pm-Midnight!!!!!
Day 13 (the next day) - Bday day for gf with dinner at Wine Trattoria w/World of Color Dining Package!!!
... NOW the vacation is finally over... until we just go back in DL probably a week later to hang out, haaa...
Few notes:
- WDW updated their hours so we're getting a midnight closing on day 3 at MK, along with our last day at MK, we get an extra 2 hours of closing. So happy with this!! Was worried Hoop-Dee would take up the two hours that we can spend at MK on our last day, but was able to modify booking so we got an early dinner at Hoop and then be back in MK with 4 hours to finish off the night and reflect on a fun vacay.
- We do have one left over dining credit, as planned, so we may use this as a breakfast credit on our departure day at the food court
- We will use Lyft mostly instead of depending on buses (we will try a bus or two and see how it really is)
- We are also bringing a $700 gift card (Target RED card) for dining tips, merch and other things. We prob won't use more than $4-500 of it, the rest will be used for our time back at DLR for the dinners we have planned around Star Wars and Bday dinner...oh and as I write this, my gf texts me to say she was just given a $50 Disney gift card from her employer!!! ka-ching!!!
Now time is the only enemy at the moment... oh and I'm already 90% packed 2 weeks out!!!
That's it, folks, that's my life in May and early June, love me or leave me...
