Greetings!
We have the ULTIMATE (for us) 14 day WDW trip coming up in August. After MANY changes, additions, subtractions, and ADRs, I THINK we are ready...At least until FP day lol
We are staying at Pop Century (standard pool view ~ hoping the 50's are refurbished by then) for the renovated rooms, dedicated buses, and good price for us (we are park people so paying big $ for the resort is kind of a waste for us)
We also got FREE DINING ( which cost me $1130 total but we are getting 13 TS each+ 13 QS each + 52 snacks, and the refill mugs...do the math and you can see that it may not be ACTUALLY be free, but based on our reservations, it will save me AT LEAST $600 and prob more)
Here is our FINAL (prob not lol) ITINERARY
Day 1 ~ Travel ~ Pool ~ Disney Springs for dinner, The Void, Balloon and merch acquisition (Gotta have that Disney bling!)
Also...watching some of WWE SUMMERSLAM in our room somehow as we are big wrestling fans
Day 2 ~ Epcot
meals: QS lunch + Biergarten dinner
Day 3 ~ MK 1
Early Morning Magic to start off the vacay in style (and not have to worry about that 7dmt FP

ANOTHER Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party to FINISH our vacation (W a Be Our Guest special dinner
Day 14 ~ travel
11am flight so not too early
*notes
I have 13 + TS reserved for our 13 days of dining but not 13 QS (we are 2 meal a day peeps...early lunch and early dinner)
*already paid for Cindy Castle so not counting those 2 TS credits already forgotten
I plan on using some of the QS credits at EP F=W ( I hear you get 3 snacks for it if bought together)
we do plan to take some aft breaks when needed (short pool and naps), and/or Early evenings if tired
The first Halloween party will be our real dress up night and the second is just staying out late to say goodbye
All the restaurants we are hitting are on our list because we like or want to try 1st time. Got lucky getting a BOG Halloween reservation and the Ohana was prob the hardest to get. As much as I want to fiddle with the vacation (one of the best parts!), I am VERY happy with our restaurants and timings.
This is my FP priority list when I log on 60 days ahead of time:
HS 8/22 tier 1
Ep 8/20 tier 1

EP 8/30 extra
MK 8/28 Halloween? (if the minions online let me choose Halloween FP for after 4pm on the 28th when we don't have a park day)
So ...what do you think??
We have done an 10 day before (last year) and feel ready for the 14 day now.
Not possible to hit EVERY good restaurant, but we hit the ones we wanted
I look forward to your feedback
AND I look fwd to updating with any changes, FP selections, AND an actual TRIP REPORT when we are done
