Hi everyone!
So this is my first officially trip to WDW with the kids and therfore our first magical vacation together. I have two girls (4/2) both are celebrating their birthdays in December and we thought this would be a great place to enjoy the holidays and ring in their birthdays.
We are staying offsite, on Disney property, but not Disney resort. Due to a convention that my hubby has to attend prior and we are meeting up. The downside is that this vacation was last minute, so I did not get to reserve early for my ADR and also no FP yet, got 3 more days to select the ones we want, and not too sure how lucky we are going to get. Thank God for this site, I was able to coordinate drops for ADR and even scored a CRT!!!!
12/12
Arrive at 8.10am hubby to pick us up and hotel room ready for us to check in.
Brunch at Chef Mickeys at 12.50am (my younger one loves mickeys, so this is a moment) heard bad reviews about the food, but I guess the experience is worth it...thought please?
Dinner at Bongos 5.30pm (one of our fav restaurants)
Watch Epcot fireworks from hotel balcony (we can do this every night)
12/13 MK
Breakfast at 7.45am (plan to be at the park early, by 8.45-9, right before it opens)
Grab a QS lunch or should I do Tony's?
Dinner at 6.50pm CRT ( my older girls moment, she is in princess mode)
Leave the park right after as it is a night of the MMVCP
12/14 AK
Breakfast at Tusker House 8.10am (park only opens at 9am that day) so the though was to finish up breakfast and head to safari before park opens.
Grab QS lunch
Dinner at Sanna 5.50pm
12/15
Day to relax at our hotel
Lunch at Morrimotos 12noon
Nap for the girls at the hotel and leave to enter park by 5.30ish 6pm for MMVCP
12/16 MK
Day to sleep in and relax
Lunch at Beach and Cream 1.30pm
Hang out at DS, photos with Santa etc
Dinner at T REX 5.30pm (girls love dinosaurs, but again, we are not too crazy about the food)
DJ dance party later 7-10pm
2nd option was after lunch, nap and then go for Spirit of Aloha at 5.15, but was not sure if it is worth it and if my kids would sit for 2 hours. What about the food? The reviews are def not convincing.
3rd alternate plan was after TREX, head back to hotel to Nap and then head to Narcoossee's at 9.05pm for desert only, watch electric pageant and wishes. But the girls would be asleep!!!
12/17
Pirates Adventure at GF for my older pirate 9.30-11.30
Breakfast for hubby, baby and myself at GF cafe 9.45am
Hang out at the resort...
Lunch at DS, either Morimotos or Bongos again, and this is one of our fav resaurents right before we leave for our flight at 4.30pm
