This will be my 8th trip in the last 6 years to WDW, and the 3rd trip I'll be making with my boyfriend. We decided on our last trip (which didn't turn out quite how we'd hoped) that a week in the World was heaven, but it just wasn't enough time to do everything we wanted and then also find time to relax. So this year we're doing 13 nights and 14 days!
Thus far we've got the following details locked down (**these will be updated as the trip progresses):
October 28 - We leave Calgary International at around 8AM, taking a flight to Chicago for a brief layover and then continuing on to Orlando (!). We managed to get first class seats for the same price as normal seats on our usual airline - so we're pumped to try that out! We'll arrive at MCO at around 5:45pm and then grab the ME to AKL-Kidani Village. We've got a reservation for 8:10pm at Sanaa - pumped to give that a try!
October 29 - Magic Kingdom. Since it's the first time my cousin and her boyfriend are visiting WDW, we're going to start them off right. We'll do MK and then MNSSHP in the evening. It's not quite the normal Celebrate the Magic and Wishes sort of evening ender - but we'll do that later in the week We managed to snag a lunch reservation at Be Our Guest (dinner was a no go), and my cousin is excited to try that out.
October 30 - EPCOT. Obviously we have to hit up the Food and Wine Festival... Because food and wine. So we'll be sleeping in a bit before heading to the park, then hitting up Teppan Edo for lunch at 1:30pm (our favourite!). We haven't made any plans for dinner as I'm sure we'll be busy eating all sorts of delicious things from around the world!
October 31 - No parks. Since it'll be Halloween, and I'm sure it'll be busy no matter where we go, we've opted to take this day to relax. I've got us a few ADRS's in other resorts around the World - both Beaches & Cream and California Grill. Hopefully we'll get to see some fireworks during dinner !
November 1 - Animal Kingdom. Hopefully we'll be rested up since AK requires some early waking! We'll be having lunch at the Yak & Yeti at 1:00pm and hopefully calling it an early day at that park as well to head back to the hotel, grab a quick dinner at the cafeteria there and then off to bed - tomorrow will be very busy.
November 2 - Universal Studios (both parks).
November 3 -
November 4 -
November 5 -
November 6 -
November 7 -
November 8 - Magic Kingdom again! We're going to hit up MVMCP for the first time! I'm insanely excited to see the castle all lit up!
November 9 -
November 10 - Sleep in as late as is humanly possible, grab some lunch at the resort, get on the Magic Express to the airport around 2 PM and catch our flight back to Canadadadadada at 5:45 PM. That'll have us landing around 9 PM in Calgary once again... At which point it'll be hoping that it hasn't snowed TOO much while we've been away so the extreme climate change doesn't turn us into Disney-cicles.
Somewhere in there we'll be doing MNSSHP as well as MVMCP. It'll be our third year trick or treating at MK, but our first year seeing the castle all lit up for Christmas... Very excited !!! Coupled with getting our drink on at the Food & Wine Festival it should be exactly enough to keep us tided over until our next Disney fix!
No trips planned currently... But we're hopeful something in 2017!!!
