Yay today I made my penultimate booking for my DL trip in September
Only thing left to do is book Walking in Walt's footsteps.
Wow what a whirlwind year 2017 is turning out to be. This trip will be my big holiday of 2017 (the others/ rest are just cheeky extras that have cropped up since i had a 3 win streak of Bingo in March then bets on the grand national and a blackjack tournament on my April cruise )
It feels really odd typing this because in 2 days I'm off to Greece on a cruise for a week, then in a month I'm off to Rome for 4 days! But onto holiday number 3 of the summer, the BIG one:
Who's going - Me, that's it , just me. I will be meeting some friends at some point but it's still a little early to say on which day.
I fly out on the 28th August and am spending my 1st 4 nights in Times Square NYC, my hotel is about a block from the Disney store so that will start me off nicely.
Plans... LOTS, I have crown tickets for Statue of Liberty and an explorer pass which I intend to make good use of, I can't wait to go to MOMA and the Guggenheim, also ride about on a movie tour, hop on hop off bus and to pay my respects to 9/11.
Then
1st September I'm off to spend 6 nights in the Quality Inn and suites, walking distance for me to the parks and also I have booked a day trip to Hollywood (last year I only had a short time there and would love to see more). This hotel was also chosen so that the New York section of the trip could happen within the budget I had.
I've booked WOC dining at Carthay Circle and Fantasmic at River belle. The rest of my trip I am going to wing it when I'm hungry.
My only reservation is that it's going to be packed over the weekend as it's a race weekend, so I picked one of those days to go to Hollywood as I figured that the park would be rammed.
I was lucky enough to do 1 day in DL last year but it was a break neck whizz around only the main park. By staying for longer I hope to be able to really take in a lot more. I've booked hopper tickets so that I can really make good use of my time.
I am also waiting for more info on the max pass that's due out this summer, if it includes photopass (I did read that it would) it may well be a great option for me. Also I see there are a few single rider queues that I can join for a speedy ride.
Other plans include hopefully some pin trading, I have my own trades from DLP but also a friend has just been to Hong Kong for work and has bought me some to trade. Add into that my Holloywood day where I can buy some trades from the soda fountain I should have a good time with that.
As always I would value any tips, must do's and anything else I may have overlooked. Especially as I am juggling so many different trips in a short space of time.
