4 months!!! Whoo hoo!!!
There's a few wal-marts and targts within 20 miles of disney also, there's a Goody's in the crossroad shopping center right outside od DTD. We've been shopping there the last few years and for it's location it offers us everything we need.
Hi Queila!! Sorry--I didn't realize you had a PTR going!! Yay!! As you know we are going to be there the same week!! And AKL--how fun!! Oh--and we'll be in MK on Thursday and Epcot on Friday, too!! In terms of groceries, I ordered mine on our last trip from www.gardengrocer.com. They deliver to your resort so you wouldn't have to go shopping that night AND you could watch Wishes from the Poly beach!! (which we might do as well) There is a charge for the delivery (I'm thinking $12) but it is very worth it!! And if you aren't at your resort when they deliver, Bells Services will hold them until you get back. It's so convenient!! Oh--and you will LOVE O'hana--the food is excellent and the atmosphere is cozy and fun!!
Welcome to my journal and thanks for siging up!Jumping on to read! We should be there during the same time as long as our dates stay the same! Last year was my first time visiting Disney and my 3 year old came with me. He had a blast!
Your plans sound great! I used Garden Grocer last year, too, and have nothing but wonderful things to say about them.
Joining in--- It's seems as if there will be a lot of DISers at Disney May 22 week.
I love that portrait of DH, you and your sweet Beatriz on the first post. Beautiful photo!
Becky beat me to the punch to recommend Garden Grocer for your supplies. Place your order, and it's delivered to your resort. Couldn't be easier!
Hi, great pre-trip report so far. Your plans sound great. We are going the 2nd week in June and can't wait.
I think your plans for EPCOT sound great. As long as your DD will nap in the stroller, you should be fine. Hopefully, your DD (being the Nemo fan that she is) will stay occupied watching the fish tank during your lunch.
Going to the character spot first is a great idea. We did the same thing last June. We only waited about 2 minutes and later in the day the wait can get quite long. I'm actually a big fan of the character spot because you can meet Mickey's entire gang without waiting in separate lines. Plus the backgrounds make cute photos. They are very colorful and you don't have to worry about some kid in the background of your photos picking his nose or pitching a fit. Basically, you wait in line and then meet Mickey, then move on to Minnie, Donald, Pluto and Goofy. They all have their own area but the same line. Make sense? There are photos in both of my trip reports if you would like to see them. Also (last thing I promise), look around when you are in the hallway by the exit after you meet Goofy. Both times we saw additional characters there.
Happy planning.
Happy 4 Months

4 months!!! Whoo hoo!!!
Plans look great! We really liked our meal at Coral Reef. Just go with the flow and see how she does-you can always adjust your plans if needed.
Your plans look great!! I love Epcot. It has so much to offer.
Thanks for the tip about the Gardengrocers. We will surely look into that. I would be really disappointed to have to miss out on the fireworks on the first night, specially since we will be going back to MK only once during our trip. And--- who knows?--- we might even bump at each other on the Thursday or the Friday! Do you know where you are eating those days? We will have breakfast at the Crystal Palave on the Thursday and then supper at Arkershus on the Friday.
Your EPCOT plans sound great and the pics from your trip last year are too cute! We are trying Coral Reef for the first time also. I hope it's good....
Great photos. Your DD is adorable.
That's awesome. We'll be there May 22nd thru May 29th too but we're staying at the Coronado Springs Resort. It'll be our 6 year old sons first trip to disney and he's so excited.
Planning for May, 24th, 2010
Don't you start drooling just looking at it???
)
1- Expedition Everest first thing in the morning;
2- It's tough to be a bug;
3- Get FP for K. Safari;
4- Pangani Forest;
5- Wildlife Express train to visit Affection Section. Ride train back;
6- Ride K. Safari using FP;
7- Lunch at Flame Tree BBQ (St. Louis ribs anyone?);
8- Festival of the Lion King;
9- take pictures at Camp Minnie-Mickey;
10- Finding Nemo- the musical (an ABSOLUTE must- do since we missed it last time);
11- Flights of Wonder (NOT a must -do);
12- Playtime at the Boneyard.
So...what do you think? Doable? Will that take us the whole day? Or would we be able to do it all before the parade at 3h45? We are totally Ok missing out on Dinosaur, Kali Rapids and Pimeval Whirl. We want to focus on the attraction that will make Beatriz happy.
We will have super at BOMA that night and our reservation is for 20h00. Ideally we would go back to our hotel and "relax" before super but we are willing to stay at the park the whole day if that's what it takes to get everything done in a moderate pace.

I think these plans look good! Have you looked at the touring plans in the UG or TGM? I've used the UG before with great success.
I'm so excited for my DD to see Festival of the Lion King and Nemo when we go to AK! I'm not sure what day we'll be there yet, but those are musts for us!
And I really enjoyed Flights of Wonder. If you have time you should definitely see it.
Thanks a lot! I'm not drooling but I did start licking my screen.
I think your AK plan looks good but here are a few comments anyway.
1. Expedition Everest will be busy so doing it first makes sense.
2. I would save It's Tough to Be a Bug till later in the day. It is a nice air conditioned break and the line never really gets very long. Also, put DD in your lap. Some kids get scared of the show.
4. You will be back tracking a bit. The Majaranha (I know I spelled that wrong) Trail is close to the Safari ride but it's not open during early EMH.
8. Festival of the Lion King is my favorite!
I don't think your missing much in Dinosaur, Primevil Whirl and Kali River Rapids. But are you not interested in Triceratops Spin? It's like a Dinosaur version of Dumbo. The line is about 30-40 minutes during the peak part of the day.
You could do this:
1- Expedition Everest first thing in the morning;
2- Send one person to get FP for K. Safari.
3- Pangani Trail - By then extra magic hour should be over.
4- Triceratops Spin
5- Wildlife Express train to visit Affection Section. Ride train back;
6- Ride K. Safari using FP;
7- Lunch at Flame Tree BBQ (St. Louis ribs anyone?);
8- Festival of the Lion King;
9- take pictures at Camp Minnie-Mickey;
10- It's Tough to Be a Bug
11- Finding Nemo- the musical (an ABSOLUTE must- do since we missed it last time); or It's Tough t
12- Flights of Wonder (NOT a must -do);
13- Playtime at the Boneyard.
How did I ever miss one of those? I may not even share......
Yum!! That ice cream sandwich is making my mouth water!! Sorry--I can't help you much on the AK plans--we had 11 inches of rain when we were there last year. All plans were thrown out the window!!
