Dapper Days weekend trip pre-trip report

I am heading back home the end of this month for a quick weekend trip. I was originally going to fly down Friday night after work and back on Sunday. After changing some vacation plans, I had an extra day to take so I changed my flight to fly down Friday morning.

Friday

Arrive @ 8:50am
Check in to Pop Century
Park = Epcot
Lunch = Flower and Garden Festival booths
Dinner = La Hacienda de San Angel Dinner
Fast Passes = Spaceship Earth, Mission Space & Frozen

Saturday - Dapper Days at MK
Parks = Animal Kingdom (Extra Magic Hours) & Magic Kingdom
Breakfast = Pop
Lunch = Grand Floridian Cafe
Dinner = Be Our Guest
Fast Passes = Pirates of the Caribbean, Big Thunder Mountain, Haunted Mansion

Sunday - Dapper Days at Epcot
Parks = Disney's Hollywood Studios (Extra Magic Hours) & Epcot
Breakfast = Cape May Cafe
Lunch / Dinner = Flower and Garden Festival Booths
Fast Passes = Soarin', Living with the Land, Finding Nemo
Depart @ 10:00pm

It will be a very busy weekend. I'm sure I'll be dead tired on Monday. It will be a fun weekend.

Slight change in plans for the weekend.

After finding an outfit for Dapper Days on Saturday I decided to not go to Animal Kingdom in the morning. I don't want to have to go back to Pop to change and I don't to wear my dress to AK. I will be at MK all day on Saturday.

Tomorrow, I will spend late morning / afternoon at Epcot and then hop to AK.

I canceled my ADRs for Friday dinner and Saturday lunch. I will just wing it.

My flight landed a little early and I was on the airpot monorail by 8:51. I walked right on the magical express and waited about 10 minutes before leaving. We passed through the gates at 9:43. My room wasn't ready so I checked my bags and headed Epcot.

I hit up a couple of food booths for lunch. Honey Bee-stro (Honey Tandoori Chicken Flatbread and Roasted Cauliflower), La Isla Fresca (Jamaican-braised Beef) and The Berry Basket (Field Greens salad). After riding Spaceship Earth and doing a little shopping, I came back to Pop to see where my room was, charge my phone, hang up my clothes and possibly take a nap (I've been up since 2:30am). I am waiting for my bags to be delivered.
