We are heading to the World in November! It will be our first time going for 2 weeks (we usually only go for one). Can't wait
We have most of the first week planned out and then plan on just taking it easy and doing whatever for the rest of the trip. We're not big ADR people as we don't really like always having to be somewhere at a certain time but we did make 2 reservations and may make a third one later on. We are staying at the All Star Movies resort and running the Wine and Dine Half Marathon. It will be our first ever half and only second race (we did the 5K last year at Wine and Dine). We've been training for awhile now so we should be good to go Here's our plan so far:
Nov 8- Land in Orlando around 1:20PM, take Magical Express to our resort and grab a quick bite to eat before heading over to the Wide World of Sports for the expo to pick up our race packets. After wandering around the expo for a bit we'll return to the resort, grab a pizza and call it a day.
Nov 9- Get up for EMH at Hollywood studios, have lunch there and then head back to the resort for a nap and rest. Get ready for the Half (race starts at 10:00PM), finish the race (hopefully ) and check out the afterparty at Epcot.
Nov 10- Sleep in! Then head back to Epcot. We have a dinner ADR at Garden Grill.
Nov 11- Get up at stupid o'clock (I love that saying ) to be at MK for 7:15am. We are doing the Magic Behind the Steam Trains tour. Since we'll be there so early we'll probably leave in the afternoon for a nap and then head somewhere else for the night since there is a MVMCP that night. We thought about doing that too but we've been a few times and decided to do the train tour instead.
Nov 12- Up early again (not as early though) for breakfast ADR at Cape May Cafe for 10:00AM. It will be our first time there We might make this a non park day and spend more time at the Boardwalk. We might rent bikes or something.
Thats all the firm plans we have for now. We plan on doing all the parks several times (we have a 10 day pass), DTD, Disney Quest and Blizzard Beach. I have a notebook with snacks I want to try (thanks DFB ) and we plan on eating at some quick service places we haven't tried before. Here's where we'd like to try
AK- Flame Tree BBQ, Yak and Yeti CS
HS- Fairfax Fare, Studio Catering Co, Starring Rolls
Epcot- La Catina de San Angel, Tangierine Cafe
MK- Sleepy Hollow, Pinocchio Village Haus
DTD- Earl of Sandwich, Ghirardelli, Wolfgang Puck Express
and also Captain Cooks at the Poly
Any thoughts on these place or others we should try?
Also, how do you recommend getting to the Boardwalk or the Beach Club Resort to be more specific? We've only been to the Boardwalk once and that was from World Showcase in Epcot. We don't want to enter a park first in case we make it a non park day.
And does anyone know how early buses run from the Resorts to the parks? We have to be a MK by 7:15am for the train tour and we won't have a car so I'm wondering if we'll have to take a cab.
Oh and the third ADR we are thinking about making is lunch at Sanaa. It doesn't seem like it's too crazy of a place so we're going to just try and book a reservation while we're there if we decide to go
One other thing we might do is a DVC tour. We have no intention of buying at the moment but would like to see what it's all about and possibly start saving now.
