I am so excited! My trip is TOMORROW!
Few things....
I will be traveling with my amazing boyfriend, Preston. It is my 6th visit, while this is Preston's first visit AND it's his birthday!
My little sister is a CM and so she got us some amazing deals on our room and dining plan.
We are staying at Port Orleans Riverside in a Royal Guest River View room. I was NOT kidding when I say my sister got us a fabulous deal on this room. We were torn between POR and the Polynesian. I have never stayed in a Deluxe Resort, even with the meal plan, our room came in under a grand, which is not what I can say about the Poly. I've stayed at POR 3 times in the past and enjoyed it immensely. I am really looking forward to staying there a) in a romantic capacity and b) in the newish Royal Guest room!
Alright, here is a rough outline of our time.
Wed 8/8 Arrive in Orlando at 10 AM, take Magical Express to POR. Little sis (Cheyenne) is meeting us there for check in. We have ADRs for lunch at the Whispering Canyon Cafe over at Wilderness Lodge, then its off to Magic Kingdom for the afternoon! After spending the afternoon at MK, we plan to hop on over to DHS for evening rides, dinner at Fairfax (we both want that mac and cheese hot dog!) and to take in Fantasmic!.
Thurs 8/9 ADR breakfast at Kona Cafe for Tonga Toast. Then to Islands of Adventure, or, more specficially, Harry Potter World. I am a HUGE Harry Potter fan and cannot WAIT to see this place. I've never been and I am super excited. After a day at IOA and WWOHP, we are meeting some of my family for dinner at Beaches and Cream, a long time favorite, and then spending an evening wandering Downtown Disney.
Friday 8/10 Most of the day is spent hopping between EPCOT and DHS, and then we have ADRs at Ohana during Wishes! Then its off to late night EMH at MK!
Saturday 8/11 EPCOT DAY. ADR Lunch at Le Cellier. And then commence Drinking Around The World, with a stop for ADR dinner at Beirgarten in Germany. Finish like champs during Illuminations.
Sunday 8/12 Last Day. ADR for breakfast at Boma. I've always wanted to stay at AKL, so this is really nice for me. We'll walk over to AK for the morning and hit the few little things I like to do, like EE, KS, and Dinosaur. We'll spend the afternoon at EPCOT, with ADR at Les Chefs de France. Then chill for a bit before the homestretch of EMH at MK.
Monday 8/13 Back to real life with an early morning flight.
I am getting to do a lolt of things I've never done in Disney before. All of ADRs with the exception of Biergarten and Le Cellier I have never eaten at, and both of those were when I was 13 and did not appreciate it. I am looking forward to being in a food coma most of this trip. (We both love to eat)
This trip was kind of last minute. We only booked it the first week of July, and I was shocked I was able to get ADRs for EVERY place I wanted. Especially during peak season.
All in all, my only regret is it can't be longer.
I know there is such thing as post vacation depression. Is there post-planning vacation depression? I'll be very down when the planning is over!
Best,
Kacie
