Hey all!
I am turning 30 on May 14th (aaargh!) and am going to treat myself to a Disney trip (of course). This time I am going with my family (sort of - me and my partner have a room booked separately and they are arriving different days) and making it a MEGA celebration
I've been planning like mad - here goes:
(Any suggestions to add are greatly appreciated, though!!)
Wednesday 4th May:
Arrive at Disneys Wilderness Lodge! Taking the Magical Express from the airport (like I'm going to miss watching that video!) and probably getting in early evening, depending on how awful customs is at the airport! Probably have a wander about the resort then an early night (have to get a taxi at 5:30am to catch the plane! Zzzzz).
Thursday 5th May:
Epcot Day - Extra magic hours in the morning - we might be jetlagged enough to wake up in time! Lovely chilled day around Epcot, looking at the flowers Food stall lunch, Teppan Edo dinner in the evening and then the fireworks (if we can stay up!)
Friday 6th May:
Animal Kingdom Day - REALLY hope to see Rivers of Light, am on the edge of my seat for a FastPass as I hear that the seating is very limited there. Dinner at Yak and Yeti at 5:45pm.
Saturday 7th May:
Romantic Magic Kingdom Day with my partner. Last day until the rest of my family arrive, so going to just have a chill time Via Napoli dinner in the evening at Epcot - catch the fireworks then if we went to sleep early on Thursday!
My mum, dad and little brother (will, he's 28, but... he's my little brother..) arrive late this day. Magic Kingdom is open til midnight and my brother says he wants to come! But I think he will be a bit tired after his flight! If not, then it's a nighttime blitz of the MK with my bro! What's the best things at night at the MK?
Mum and Dad and Alex are staying at the Old Key West resort.
Sunday May 8th

Monday May 9th
Animal Kingdom day with my family. Rainforest Cafe lunch, watching all the shows Going to Medieval Times with my fella, brother and aunts in the evening! I hear it's no longer unlimited drinks at Medieval Times? (As I child I dimly remember my parents getting a little bit smashed on the beer?).
Tuesday May 10th
Hopefully not a hungover day at Universal Studios Islands of Adventure with my brother and partner. I HATE fast rides, but they'll keep each other company. Got express passes anyway. Might hide in the margarita restaurant! Dinner at Antojitos in the evening.

His request is a day on the rubber rings floating around the lazy river at Typhoon Lagoon, and so it shall be We've booked a cabana as well, since all of us will be there and it seems v. convenient (and Dad will probably get bored with the floating after a bit and want somewhere to sit and read his book).
