Ok, So some housekeeping first, if you will...
Disney released some more official park hours and they meanly stopped at our FIRST day of the trip!!!
But that first day is Friday they have Extended Park hours for Deluxe Hotel guests for Magic Kingdom. And I am tempted to add a park day to our ticket so we can go! It's intresting, as it is the first Friday EEH. I am wondering if they won't have the Wednesday one? I will have to wait and see.
I also got an email from the airline that they changed our flights slightly. And it actually was for the better! I booked the flights that I did based on getting the flight with miles only. Now we are leaving an hour early both ways. But it's good, as I was a little worried that we would be getting home super late and we were all going to have to suck it up and got to school and work the next day. That hour will help a bit. And then heading TO Disney, we will now arrive 12:30. Which just feels like so much more time.
But with both of those items... I am drawn to possibly heading to Magic Kingdom on Friday!?!? ! Maybe we stick with Disney Springs for an early dinner and then head over? I will have to talk to Andy about it.
Day Four: Animal Kingdom Day
So, I am torn about this day.... Part of me wants to plan on us getting up early to get in line for Flight of Passage and taking advantage of the half hour early open but I also am not sure that will be possible by this time of the trip.
Animal Kingdom is estimated to be open 9:00 AM to 8:00 PM. So, EEH would be 8:30. Maybe we will play it by ear. I could always suck it up and buy the Fancy Ride. As I am not sure Lightening Lane will be worth it for AK. The ONLY reason I would consider doing it, would be because we are only planning this day for Animal Kingdom. Pretty mush every other park gets at least 2 days.
Andy requested we go to Tiffins this trip. Andy's sister is a huge fan of there and I know alot of people here are as well. I just haven't done it in the past as the choices for the girls can be iffy. But It's worth a try! So, I am thinking a 5 dinner reservation. Which I was thinking we could also, hop in line for FOP after dinner and just make it our last thing for the day as an option as well.
I do want to do Santuli Canteen for lunch. We will have to go early. I find the hardest part of this park wanting to do things on one side of the park and eat things all the way on the opposite side of the park.
Day Five: Rest Day / Magic Kingdom
It will be Wednesday and I think we will be ready for some needed rest / down time by now. Originally I was going to actually have a no park day today. But it "should" be another Extra Hours for Deluxe guest tonight. And I want to take advantage of those for sure.
Hopefully we can enjoy the pool today. Fingers crossed on nice enough weather to do so!
Normally we would do Sanaa on our Animal Kingdom day but since Andy wants to do Tiffins, I am thinking of trying for Sanaa today. My thought is maybe a 4:00 dinner? A little early, but we can do a snacky type lunch at the pool bar that day. But by doing a 4:00 "dinner" we can still get the lunch menu, which we actually like better there. And that will give us plenty of time to make it over to Magic Kingdom to see fireworks.
I am thinking the same thing as EPCOT EEH. Get there in time to see fireworks and then do the extra hours.
