Kathy and Lil's May Pre-Trip Report

Hi All and I hope am doing this correctly as this is my first...so if I have done something not right please let me know. So that being said here goes:

Monday 5/12 - Should land in Orlando around 11:20 (from Providence, RI). Will get on Magical Express to POFQ. Hopefully our room will be ready but if not we will head for the docks and catch the boat to Downtown Disney. Having Lunch at Earl of Sandwich. We will spend most of the day there. Depending on whether we could get into our room before we headed to Downtown Disney will depend on whether or not we will have dinner there or at POR for the pasta. After that we will chill having a couple of drinks at either POR or POFQ bar.

Tuesday 5/13 - MK..will something quick to eat so that we can catch the bus to MK to see the opening so we need to be there by 8:30 as MK opens at 9. We are not sure where we will have lunch but it will either be Casey's Corner, Ray's Starlight or Tortuga Tavern. After that we are running to Seven Dwarfs (hopefully it will be open). Have FP's for Peter Pan at 10:45, Disney Festival of Fantasy Parade and Pirates of the Caribbean at 4:25 (remember can't do any roller coaster FP's as my girlfriend don't do them). Will also have a Dole Whip at some point from Aloha Island. The other must do rides are Haunted Mansion;Liberty Square Riverboat; It's a Small world; Carousel of Progress, Monsters Inc and the Disney World Railroad. Well watch the Flag Retreat at 5:30 pm. Have ADR at Liberty Tree Tavern for 6:20. And Wishes fireworks of course. MK closes at 11 pm so hopefully we can do all that we want but if not we will be back MK Sunday.

Wednesday 5/14 - MK/Epcot - Breakfast will be on the run as we have to catch an early bus to MK as we have Marceline to Magic Kingdom Tour. After the tour we will get on the monorail for Epcot. We will have lunch at Electric Umbrella. We have FP's for Spaceship Earth at 12:35 pm; Soarin @ 4:25 pm and Living in the Land @5:30 pm. We have ADR at Garden Grill for 6:30 pm (this is a first for us). And walk around the World. And we will see IllumNations.

Thursday 5/15 - AK/Epcot - We will have breakfast at the resort and head out to AK. WE have FP's for Kilimanjaro Safaris @ 9:05 am; Dinosaur @ 10:30 am and It's Tough to be a Bug @ 12:45pm. We will have lunch at either Flame Tree Barbecue, Rainforest Cafe, Yak and Yeti. We want to be back at Epcot by 3 pm. We have ADR at Coral Reef for 6:20 pm. So we will just do what we feel like doing. Would like to get a FP's for either Test Track or Soarin but seeing we are getting to Epcot before 3 it will be doubtful.

Friday 5/16 - This is our 'off' day. We will have breakfast at the resort. Around lunchtime the plan is to get to Boardwalk Bakery...not sure the best way to get there yet but I guess we will figure it out. We have ADR at California Grill for 7:30 pm. Here we will be able to see the Electric Water Pageant and Wishes Fireworks..we felt that was a great way to end our day.

Saturday 5/17 - Breakfast at the resort. Today we are off to Disney Hollywood. We have FP's for The Great Movie Ride @ 9:05 am; Toy Story @ 1:10 pm and Star Tours @ 4:00 pm. We will have lunch at either ABC Commissary; Backlot Express or All-American Cafe. The other rides we will try to do are Muppet Vision 3-D, The Magic of Animation (which will be a must..as we both want to try our hand at drawing), Beauty and the Beast Live show and Voyage of the Little Mermaid. Now this is our only day here and it is the first weekend of Star War weekends so I don't know how much we will actually get to do. WE have ADR at Hollywood 7 Vine for 6:00 pm which includes Fantasmic.

Sunday 5/18 - Epcot/MK. Breakfast will be at our resort. We head out to Epcot and do whatever we can and use all our snacks at the Flower & Garden Festival. We head to MK at 2:30 pm and the park closes at 1:00 am. We have FP's at The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh @ 3:30 pm; Under the Sea-Journey of the Little Mermaid @ 6:05 pm and Haunted Mansion @ 9:05 pm. We have ADR at BOG (yahooooooo) for 7:10 pm. We will ride whatever rides we can get on at both parks.

Monday 5/19 - We say goodbye to our favorite place. But our flight isn't until 3:15 pm so am not sure what time MDX will want us for pickup but hopefully we can have a couple of hours at Downtown Disney.

So please let me know what you all think..especially for lunches or anything else you think I should change.

Again this is my first so I hope I did ok.

Sounds great Kathy! I'm also hoping that the mine train will be open that day but I'm not holding my breath... Mandy didn't sound too optimistic about it on another thread waiting

To get to the Boardwalk from POFQ, take a bus to the studios. From there you can either walk(10-15 minutes), or take a boat(20 minutes). Taxi from POFQ would be around $10 plus tip.

Skunk...you must have read my mind as I was starting to wonder about that. I think we will go with the bus to studios and the boat..as we are in no rush. Thanks again for reading my mind.
