We are down to 16 nights!!!!! Our Schedule is starting to look pretty good. This is what we have so far:
Saturday - In the morning I will go to weight watchers to get weighed in before vacation. After that I will head home because we want to leave my house by 8:30 AM (My Mom will have driven in from Maine the night before). I will drop everyone off at the airport with the bags and stroller and I will then head to Cambridge to park where I have a monthly pass at a garage. I will take the subway to the airport to meet up with everyone.
We will check into Airtran. This is our first time flying with them and our first time traveling with carry-ons only. It is a little scary but I just couldn't stomach the price to check-in bags. We will either have an early lunch or find something to bring on the plane. Our flight leaves at 11:55 AM with one layover in Atlanta. We will arrive in Orlando at 5:05 PM.
We will pick up our rental van and head over to the condo to get settled. We rented a condo at Fantasy World Resort and we are super excited becuase it has 2 bedrooms and a full kitchen. My mom has to meet the people dropping off her scooter but afterwards we will head to the market to stock up for the week. I have a groupon for Larry's Giant Subs so we will stop there on the way back to the condo to pick up our dinner.
Sunday - Animal Kingdom Day - 9:00 - 5:00
Possible Lunch options are Resaurantosaurus or Flame Tree Barbeque. I definitely want to get a zebra dome somewhere.
Dinner: Reservation at 6:05 at Boma - We are very excited about this one. We have heard so many good things about their food. In fact one of my co-workers used to live in Orlando and he highly recommends this restaurant.
Monday - Epcot Day - also known as eat are way around the world day! 9:00 - 9:00
Riley has his Y.E.S. class this day from 8:30 - 11:30 - Making Waves with a Marine Career. I am so excited for him to take this class.
Lunch: Food & Wine Festival
Dinner: Food & Wine Festival
I would also like to get a margarita at La Cava del Tequila and there are a couple of bakeries I would like to hit up. I would like to go to the caramel shop in Germany and get school bread in Norway. I will probably bring these desserts back to the Condo to enjoy later in the week.
Tuesday - Rest Day
Morning - We will have pool time and enjoy the resort. For lunch we want to go to http://www.amazonaslatingrill.com/. We went last time we were in Orlando and there food was amazing. Even now we drool over the menu. I will either go pick it up if we want to continue swimming or we will all go together if we are done.
Afternoon - About 2 we will head over to DTD. We have a reservation at 3 for T-Rex Cafe. I plan on just getting an appetizer for us to share. Mostly I want the boys to be able to experience the restaurant. Although I have been eyeing that Cotton-tini. Afterwards we will shop in DTD. There really isn't much that I want to get. The only thing on my list is mickey ice cube trays.
Evening - We will stop at Whole Foods on the way home to pick out our dinner (this is always a fun and easy dinner for us). Riley's grandfather and wife will also visit us this evening for cocktails and appetizers.
Wednesday - Halloween and Beach Day
Morning - Head to Ron Jon Surfshop and Cocoa Beach. Gabrian loves the beach and constantly asked to go this summer . This will be such a treat for him to be able to go one more time this summer.
Afternoon - We want to have lunch somewhere on the beach. Possibly we will head to the Cocoa Beach Pier. It seems like they have a couple of good options. Then we will head back to the condo to relax and possibly swim in the pools.
Evening - Halloween at Cranes Roost 5:00 - 9:00
Riley's Grandfather will meet us there to see the boys in their costumes. Gabrian will be a dragon and Riley will be a dragon trainer. This festival sounds pretty awesome. They will have vendors, trick-or-treating, and music playing. It will be a really fun way to spend Halloween.
Thursday - Hollywood Studios 9:00 - 8:00
Possible lunch options: ABC Commissary or Backlot Express
Definitely want to get a cupcake
Dinner: Pizza back at the condo
Friday - Magic Kingdom - Our last day
Lunch options: We have a reservation at the Plaza Restaurant but I am definitely leaning towards Columbia Harbour House. I want to get corn dog nuggets at some point and definitely a coke float.
Dinner: Eat Left-overs that we have at condo
Saturday - Go to Weight Watchers in the morning (this should be scary after all that eating...hopefully the walking will help counter-act that). Go swimming if the boys are interested. Head out to the airport. Have lunch and then our flight leaves at 2:40 PM. We have a layover in Baltimore and will arrive in Boston at 6:31 PM. I will go get the car and then come back to pick everyone up. We will pick up Chinese on the way home and then our vacation will be officially over. I am sad just writing about it .
I am anxious to hear about everyone's thoughts, opinions, and suggestions. I don't get many responders and am hopeful to get some this time. Thanks!!!
