Hi Folks!
So I went M.I.A for quite a bit, but I was still here as a reader on and off. To Be Honest, after my last trip in December 2012, I had such Disney World Withdrawal I couldn't even handle writing my trip report.
Well, we all know the cure for DWW is ANOTHER TRIP. However, this one kind of evolved in literally less than a week.
So, my boyfriend and I have our 1-year anniversary trip coming up this Sunday. The original plan was a week long visit to my family in Orlando and Naples. But my scheming brain so an opportunity....we decided on an ADR to Jiko for Sunday night. And that's it. That would be our little Disney fix.
Well then, the wheels in my mind were whirring, and I tell the Boyfriend that if we want...ahem....privacy on our Anniversary Night, we might as well book a night at a resort. Just one night.
THEN when actually booking our flights, we got a fantastic deal on a flight down on Saturday Morning....so we added another night to our little getaway.
THEN my very generous sister offered up some of her main-gate passes to us. BUT since MK is blacked-out this time of year, we decided to also purchase passes to go to MK.
So....our one little anniversary dinner has transformed into a mini-getaway for our anniversary weekend. It will be short but sweet I'm sure.
The true irony (am I using this right? I'm only a math teacher!) is since we are now staying 2 nights, we added the dining plan and decided Jiko was not worth the cost, so changed our actual anniversary Dinner to an old favorite, Les Chefs de France. We also have an ADR at Kouzzina. We ate there last trip and loved it. We plan on QS lunches at Wolfgang Puck and Pecos Bills Tangerine Cafe for Shwarma Platters. Breakfast at Captain Cooks (TONGA FREAKING TOAST). Pastries from Starring Rolls, and the place in France. Salted Caramel from Karamel Kuche. Mickey Bars. Ice Cream Sammies. Hot Dogs.
Ok so my world revolves around food hahahahha. Also I'm hungry. LOL.
When I say this trip was last minute, I mean we bought the flight Friday, booked our room Saturday, and added the Dining Plan and Magical Express on Monday. I'm worried about the Mickey Mail, but the nice CM over at Travel told me to call on Wednesday and inquire about what to do if we haven't received our luggage tags yet. I mean, we can't be the only rubes who book trips with just a week to spare, right?
Anyway, a summary of our trip details:
Saturday, June 20th:
Flight from Wilmington, DE arrives at 10:30 am
Board DME to Port Orleans Riverside
Putz around Downtown Disney and the pool
ADR for Dinner at Kouzzina!
Sunday June 21st:
Main-gate pass day. Park Hop between AK, HS, and Epcot COMMANDO STYLE hitting all the big rides and yummy snacks.
ADR for Dinner at Les Chefs de France
Monday June 22nd:
MK Day. Really no plans beyond that. Maybe dinner at Beaches and Cream(?)
Rest of the week will be spent at my Aunt's place in Naples, chillin on the BEACH, eating home-cooked Greek food, soaking up rays, and really recharging my batteries before the school year begins.
Anyway, I am planning on being a more dedicated poster. Planning being the operative word. Either way I love reading these boards....no matter how jealous I get lol.
