I can't believe we are SO close to leaving now!!

THe Cast: myself 36, DH 45, DD 6 1/2, DD 5, DS 2 - this is our 2nd FAMILY trip to WDW. DH and I Went on our honeymoon, we took the family last year, and I've been several times in the past. This trip and the last were the only ones on property.

Here is our plans of sort.....

Wednesday 8/15 Leave Buffalo VIA southwest DIRECT to MCO arriving 9:55 AM providing all goes well.
ME to POR check in, head to EPCOT
1:30 ADR Le Cellier (EEEK! I keep calling to try to get later, but nothing has opened yet! Every Cast memeber I've spoken to has assured me that it should be fine!) If there is ANY time, grab FP for Soarin on our way in.
3:30 Baby and I head back to POR to greet Marge from Wo Go Shop while older ones check out future world (innovations, Ellen's Energy Adventure, etc), put perishables away in our room, then head back to meet up with family - we are hoping that baby will take a bit of a snooze in this time)
5:00 Ride Soarin with FP/ Rider switch then Start touring world showcase, stopping to eat wherever we feel like it when we are finally hungry (Possiblities include Yorkshire Fish n Chips or a side trip to Beaches and Cream)

Head back to room when kiddos begin to show signs of tiring - or after Illuminations if we make it that long!

Thursday Aug 16
Cereal/ fruit in room head to AK for Rope Drop
FP for EE, FInding Nemo, Triceretops spin, Prineval Whirl if anyone is tall enough, Dinosaur using child swap, back to EE for rider swap rides. If time Kali with rider swap if Baby isn't tall enough (ANd I suspect he isn't) LIght lunch/ snacks as needed.

Head to MK by 2. (hopefully eveyone can get a snooze in the ride over to the contemporary then short walk to MK.)Watch Parade in front of LTT
4:00 ADR Liberty Tree Tavern. Afterwards grab FP for Jungle cruise and hit tiki room and tree house, possibly Aladdin, too then ride JC. Head to frontier land, FP BTRR then go explore TS Island. (Dpending on time) If TS closed, or closing, hit Country Bear Jamboree while waiting for FP time on BTRR< then ride that.

Hopefully close to nightfall, by now hit HOP and snack at SLeepy Hollow before steaking out a place for Spectro. If we still have "plenty" of time, try for POTC or anything missed in Adventure land. Travel "behind' The castle to check out wait times in Fantasy land and ride anything that is pretty much walk on on our way to the "Rose Garden" to steak out a place to watch Wishes.

Back to POR

Friday 8-17 snacky breakfast in room Head to EPCOT as eary as we can stand it (no biggie if we are not there for Rope Drop, but want to accomplish much early!)

Try to ride: MIssion Space Green, Test Track, (FP one then ride the other) Nemo and Friends and Turtle Talk with Crush, grabbing a FP for Soarin before our 10:20 ADR at Princess Story book. Visit Norway and Mexico on our way "out" of the park to head to one of the water parks for most of the day. IF weather is iffy will decide if afternoon parade at AK will be better. Back to room around 6 ISh for dinner in food court and swimming unt il 8 pm. Kids NIght out arriving at 8:45, MOm and Dad to PI for a few hours of adult time!

Saturday 8-18
breakfast in room
Get to MK as close to RD as possible (WIthout being cranky from being out so late - neither of us are drinkers, so no hangover worries). Tyr to get through Fantasy land by 11 AM. Casey's on our way out.

Back to our Resort for lazy afternoon nap/ swimming. Mom's makeover of 2 girls and a boy into princesses and pirate then to Chef Mickey's at 5:10 and P&PP afterwards. Hopefully will get to ride "Everything" we want - bonus if we get to them twice!

Sunday 8-19

MGM all day. Order of events will depend on times guide but we do have 5:00 ADR at 50's and would like to stay through Fantasmic. Will play it by ear of afternoon break is necessary.

Monday 8-20
Waterpark for EMH (Not sure which one yet) and stay through lunch ish. However, would like to eat lunch at WPExpress in DTD. Hit goofy's for snacks. IF the weather is iffy, then we will opt to "finish" the WS in EPCOT and hit anything we missed in FW.

5:10 ADR at Wispering Canyon Cafe then either head to Ft Wlderness for campfire/ sing along or to MK for SPectro/ wishes. OR back to EPCOT for Illuminations if we haven't seen it yet.

Tuesday 8-21

Departure day, but flight out is at 8 PM. Pack, breakfast at Boatwrights at 8:50, check out, head to AK if we didn't do our 2nd half day before. Catch FOTLK, along with any "missed" attractions. Hopefully catch parade before heading back to resort to catch ME at 5. (Will take cab if we are cutting it too close)

Of course what I "plan on" doing and what will actually get accomplished is subject to change LOL!
