Well, I can't believe it, but in one week I will be in WDW! I am staying in the Springs section of Saratoga Springs (if I get my request) so I can be closer to the Carriage House this time. I am kinda feeling the pool, filling up my resort mug (I am now spoiled on these after getting one over Spring Break at AKL), and enjoying a different experience from my past stays there in Congress Park or The Carousel. I also had a fun time in April just taking my resort mug down in the AM, filling it up with coffee, and curling up in a comfy lobby chair or out by the pool to read.
I got a wild hair and made some ADRS! I really want to eat at Raglan Road and see the Irish dancers and musicians, so I made a ressie for arrival night. They have a new salmon salad with lime or citrus or something yummy. Sounds awesome to drive down, check in to SS, and bus or boat on over to DTD. Looking forward to strolling around the new areas and spaces that are open, and walking across the new bridge. I would also like to hit up the new Starbucks over there - it looks so nice. 
I did make some Fastpasses for Epcot that night but I do not know if I will go over there after dinner, or just hang around DTD and SS.
The first full day I have Fastpasses for MK - 3 of my favorites - Peter Pan (OF COURSE), Haunted Mansion (OF COURSE also!) and Little Mermaid. In there somewhere I have a lunch ressie at - BOG! I took advantage of the order ahead feature and thought I would try the quinoa salad. It looks like my kind of food. But regardless of having less than amazing food the other two times I have gone, I want to give this a try and I do love the atmosphere in there! Then I can either hang around or park hop somewhere else.
I do have Fastpasses selected for the next few days that are subject to change if I decide to make some more ADRs or hit up some favorite quick service places or maybe even try a walk up at a bar/counter of somewhere like Prime Time. Who knows?
Would like to fit TOTWL in there somewhere too for fireworks, but not sure if I will do that this time. Might save that for September when I get to stay at BLT for a few days!
After 4 nights I am moving THE BOARDWALK, pool/garden view for 3 more nights. I am so pumped about that - walking between Epcot and HS is just awesome, and I love all the entertainment in both of those parks! I can catch Mulch Sweat and Shears for every set if I want to!
I somehow think I will end up hanging out in Epcot and HS more than MK this trip but you just never know...I think there will still be Star Wars stuff going on over there, so I may avoid that.
I am bummed that I am just missing the Frozen Summer Fun stuff, AND the cool Sounds of Summer concerts at Epcot, but I am lucky to be going at all given my summer job! I went this time a couple of years ago and the crowds were much lower than later in the summer and the temps were too. We will see!
when we go in September for two weeks, I'm going to plan the first week then just do whatever the second week ( at least I'm going to try 
). We're also staying at Boardwalk for a week ( then switching to Beachclub) so I can't wait to hear what you think of it
