And so we reach hypothetical Saturday, the final full day in our mad dash through Orlando. Today's installment is being brought to you courtesy of The Cure's Friday in Love, which is firmly stuck in my head even though it is Tuesday and we are talking about Saturday.
First stop: Magic Kingdom! The 8:00 open means we will be out of bed early because we will want to reach the TTC at 7:00. My paranoid self is freaked out that are tickets won't work because somehow the first day of our 2-day hoppers will have been used the days of MVMCP instead of our party tickets. The tech people told me that my tickets are prioritized correctly but I still worry. We've had this problem in the past and it took HOURS of prime park time to straighten out. So I'm not going to totally relax until Mickey's head turns green.
Once through the gates, we will head as quickly as possible to Peter Pan! We would also like to fit in the Mine Train, Big Thunder Mountain, Space Mountain, and the Haunted Mansion early. Goal is to do as much as we can before breakfasting with Tigger and Friends at the Crystal Palace at 10:00.
After CP, we will probably do the Tiki Room and Pirates before heading to Animal Kingdom for the afternoon. I'm terrified that Rivers of Light will somehow open and ruin my plans. We have FP+ for Dinosaur and will do that and It's Tough to Be a Bug (one of my favorite Disney things ever!) plus all of the animal trails.
In what is probably not the greatest scheduling ever given the CP late breakfast but we are leaving it alone, we have a 3:45 ADR at Tusker House for a late lunch with Donald and Daisy. 5:00 FP+ for the safari so we can ride right at sunset and a 6:00 FP+ for Expedition Everest. I find EE terrifying but I want to try it once in the dark and DH has to ride too many roller coasters by himself anyway.
We will then meander our way out since we've never seen AK in the dark and to catch a Tree of Light Awakening before heading back to the MK.
Other than obtaining a Dole Whip at some point, our goals are limited. We will probably do CoP and Philharmagic since we expect it to be busy on a Saturday night. Try to ride a mountain or two during the fireworks. Maybe go through Hall of Presidents, which we usually skip since we live in the City of Presidents, but is probably a must do this year of all years. And then we will finish up at the Haunted Mansion and the PeopleMover before bidding a sad goodbye to Disney for 2016. And probably 2017 since someone who shall not be named snuck in a second trip this year.
