Three weeks to go! Time to get my pre-trip going, and then I'll post pics and such as we go! It's a quick trip this time - just three days, April 8, 9, 10. We're at All Star Sports. (I was coerced.)
It'll be an interesting trip - our first time with MBands and FP+. We're "Casual Commandos." We plan well, wait little, and ride much; but we don't run around like manic crazy people. (We walk calmly, like civilized crazy people.) It'll be interesting to see how FP+ changes/fits into our usual style and FP use. I love the "My Disney Experience" app so far. Crowd levels are 4/5/6 (depending who you ask) all three days.
Day One
The two good things about our flight ... Airports are not crowded at 6:30am, and we'll be in Orlando by 9:00. I'm looking forward to flying JetBlue for the first time. I hear the leg room is better and snacks and soda are free. Heck, by the time they roll the cart and we munch, it'll almost be time to land!
Hopefully, MExpress and Check-In at All Star Sports will be quick. We have a FP+ appointment with Peter Pan! We'll stash our carry-on (to hold our plane stuff) at the resort and head right to the MK. Wish we didn't need the carry on, but we'll be leaving cold weather and landing in hot weather, so we'll need to stash those jackets.
It's MK day!
