The Ever Changing
Jungle Expedition Itinerary
Hey guys! I know, it's been a while since I posted last, but you know, life happens. I've been traveling for some pre-employment things for my new job and getting ready to move for work so I've been pretty busy lately. I figured I would take a break from getting things ready for my big move in a few days to update ya'll on some exciting planning Mom and I have done for our trip! This is our favorite part of planning, picking out which parks we are going to, where we want to eat, and what we want to do at the parks for the day as we are both planners and like to have an idea on what will be doing once we are in the World! Shortly after booking our room, we already had been discussing plans since we knew that we would be able to book ADRs on August 1st, the day after the moving company comes with all my furniture.
We included our usual tradition of visiting the Magic Kingdom on our first day and started to lay out the other plans. I have somehow misplaced my paper with our first plans, but I do remember they included trying several new restaurants such as Mama Melrose for the Fantasmic dinner package and Skipper Canteen because of how good it smelled when we were walking by in March.
After looking at the menu and pictures of Skipper Canteen again, we were on the fence about how much we would really enjoy this. Not wanting to waste a table service credit on a meal that we weren't 100% set on enjoying, wanting to visit Wilderness Lodge, and wanting to see Pandora at night, we went back to the drawing board and came up with version 2 of our plan that looked like this:

Well, after being on the fence about Mama Melrose due to its less than raving reviews and the mixed reviews on Whispering Canyon, we came up with the third and hopefully final version of our plan. Seeing as park hours haven't been posted for our trip dates, this will most likely not be the final version of our plan. But this currently what we have:
