Okay, so we are planning our family trip to DW for my parent's 45th wedding anniversary. They wanted to take a 2 week cruise, but we couldn't all swing it so WE SETTLED ON DISNEY WORLD!!!!!
There will be 11 of us, but maybe only 10 of us.
We went 11 years ago in September and there were 11 of us, so now that the kids are grown, this will be fun.
We are going June 28th through July 5, with 5 day PHs, so having 5 days in the park will be fun. We are staying in the Art of Animation with 3 cars family suites.
The first room will have my father(DF 65) and mother (DM 63)
The second room will have my brother (DB), his wife (DBW), My 2 nephews(DN1 & 2) and niece (DJ)
The kids are 19, 18, and 15. DN1 may not be able to join us due to ROTC duties, so we may be down to 10, but are leaving our ADR for 11 right now.
The third room is MINE! It has me, my wife(DW) and my 2 kids, DS(17) and DD (16)
This is going to be awesome.
Just for some head's up, my DW is not all that excited about going to Disney World, so I am trying to get her in the mood. My DS, DB and DN1 & 2 and myself are all nerds so Star Wars is big to us.
My DF and DM are hoping this entire experience will be magical.
My DN and DD are both into baking so want to just experience the cupcakes and bakeries.
We are on the DDP and we have our ADR set, wish we could change one but here they are.
We arrive at 12ish on the 28th, so we have a big family dinner reserved at Boatwrights that night.
The next day is our first day in the parks, we have the earliest reservation possible at Crystal Palace for breakfast and then on to the Magic Kingdom!
We have supper reserved at Animal Kingdom at Tusker house with Rivers of Light package on Saturday.
Sunday we don't have a day in the park planned, we think we will be maybe going to the beach that day, or go to Disney Springs that day but have O'Hana for breakfast reserved as my DN1 wants to eat breakfast with Stitch. BUT he may not be able to be there, so I wish we could switch that to Dinner instead, so I will keep watching. We have dinner reserved at Frontera Cocina because my DF loves Rick Bayless.
Monday is our day at Epcot, starting with Akershus breakfast at the earliest time because we did this 11 years ago and the kids want to try to remake pictures.
Tuesday is our day at Hollywood Studios. We are actually using a TS at the 50's Diner for lunch that day, and then doing the Galactic Desert Spectacular that night.
Wednesday is 4th of July, so it is a free day for everybody. They can go to whatever park they want, all of our TS meals will be used up unless we change things, so we will wait and see. With the DDP we should have plenty of snacks and Quick service creds left.
Then we leave on Thursday morning, so back to real life that day.
So what do you think?
Obviously we don't have FP reserved yet, still like 27 days out.
Any suggestions?
