It is now just over a month until our Disneymoon and I am starting to get really excited! I went to Disneyworld with my family lots as a child/teen, but this will be my first time as an adult, as well as my first time staying on Disney property! Bob has never been before so this is super exciting for him too! We arrive in Orlando at 7pm on 11th September, and get back to the UK early on the morning of the 22nd September. We don't have a car or a dining plan but have made a few ADRs. My grandparents are going to be in Orlando at the same time so they have offered to take us to WWoHP and maybe shopping off property.
This is our itinerary so far:
Day 1 - 11th September 2013:
We'll get into Orlando at 7pm then get the Magical Express to Art of Animation Resort where we'll check in. We're flying from the UK so I imagine we'll be exhausted, though I'll still be super excited because I'm a big kid. We'll probably just check out our room, go for a walk/explore then head to bed.
Day 2 - 12th September 2013:
As this is our first full day in Orlando, the plan is to take it easy, explore the resort, go for a swim, and maybe walk over to Pop Century, or get the bus to Downtown Disney for a wander. No firm plans for this day - will probably try to obtain bottled water from somewhere though.
Day 3 - 13th September 2013:
FIRST PARK DAY! We are kicking off our Disneymoon with a full day at the Magic Kingdom! I am considering trying to make rope drop but as neither of us are morning people I'm not sure if we'll manage. Either way, we'll grab a quick breakfast then hit the park asap. We'll be trying to get round as much as possible so we'll end up probably just grabbing a dinner at the resort when we're done and then have a quiet night around the resort.
Day 4 - 14th September 2013:
We have booked breakfast at Cape May Cafe for 9.30am. I am VERY excited about breakfast with Minnie Mouse! When we're full of food, we're going to spend the rest of the day at Epcot. This is probably my favourite park so YAY. Will probably have meals in the park as the food is so exciting!
Day 5 - 15th September 2013: This will either be a pool day or a shopping day - there is a possibility my grandparents will take us shopping off property. We then have dinner reservations at Tony's Town Square at 6.50pm, with the plan being that we will eat and then catch the Electrical Parade and Wishes. It's EMH till midnight so I am hoping to enjoy a few of the scary rides at night!
Day 6 - 16th September 2013: My grandparents are picking us up and taking us for a buffet breakfast off property, then taking us to WWoHP for the day. They will just be dropping us off and picking us up later on as they are in their 80s and would not enjoy walking around the park. They'll then probably take us for dinner later on and then back to the resort. Really excited about this day as we're both huge Potterheads! This is my grandparents' last trip abroad as they have decided not to renew their passports, so it's a little sad but I am glad we will get to enjoy it with them.
Day 7 - 17th September 2013: Planning to spend a full day at DHS, then either catch Fantasmic, go to Jelly Rolls or meet my grandparents for food/shopping (if we have not done so on the 15th.)
Day 8 - 18th September 2013: We're planning to take it easy in the morning and then spend the afternoon/evening at Downtown Disney. We have dinner reservations for 7pm at House of Blues, then are planning to stay out drinking cocktails till late, so have a romantic night on the town.
Day 9 - 19th September 2013: We're going to spend the day at Animal Kingdom, then grab some food somewhere and maybe head to Epcot for drinks and fireworks - I want to try out this tequila bar I've heard so much about - and head back to the resort.
Day 10 - 20th September 2013: Last full day. :'( We'll spend the day doing anything we want to do-over or haven't had time to do, then get changed into our costumes for MNSSHP! We'll be grabbing a quick dinner and will then be going out with a bang in our Mickey and Minnie costumes at the Halloween party.
Day 11 - 21st September 2013: We fly home at 3.40pm, so we won't have a lot of time to do much before our flight. I know I'm going to be so sad on the last day!
Trip report to follow at the end of September! EEEEEEEEEEE so excited!
