Good Morning Everyone!
Happy Saturday! I hope everyone has some good plans for the weekend. We are having a Pizza and Ping Pong "party" this evening with the girls BFF's and families! We have spent the last 2 weeks cleaning, purging and setting up our attic into a "big kid" area.
So, in the news this week for Disney...
I
was going to go buy the Disney After Hours Event tickets. And was talking with Andy about it. And I made the mistake of meantioning how much it cost. He isn't sold on the idea... Sigh... His reasoning is that we have annual passes and we are already there for such a long period of time, that it isn't worth it. And I am have to admit, I am kind of with him on it. I mean, I know it would be amazing. But I know we will have a great time regardless. So, for now, I am taking it out of the schedule.
The events do seem to not sell out, so IF we wanted to, we could add it back in. But I also wouldn't mind doing the event in August when it is SUPER hot out and swim all day and then go. Who knows if they timing will work out but we will see. It would also be a great birthday item, but they haven't announced May dates.
So.... that gave me some planning to do! Woo Hoo!
What I had as Fast Passes:
Everest: 12:30 - 1:30
Flight of Passage: 1:30 - 2:30
Primevil Whirl: 2:30 - 3:30
And I had cancelled our Skipper Canteen Dinner for that night already. So, we didn't have any ADR's. So, I booked us lunch at Sanaa!!!
I grabbed us an 11:50 Lunch reservation. I am so excitied to have bread service again. And I think I like the lunch menu better than dinner.
I also went in and pushed our Everest Fast Pass back to 3:35 - 4:45.
That gives us till 1:30 - 2:30 to get over to the park in time for the FoP fast pass. That should be more than enough time. This can also be the day we ride Everest at night, again. I don't have to worry about trying to get back after dinner at BOMA.
So the new plan....
- We will need to check out of the Poly today. I figure we can pack up, grab breakfast at Captain Cook's, let the girls take one last swim in the pool. (I am assuming it will open at 10:00 not 9:00 at this time of year)
- Then we will officially check out, drop our bags off with bell services to be taken over to Riverside. We will take an uber over to have lunch!
- Then head to Animal Kingdom for the afternoon / evening.
- Head to Riverside whenever we are done at AK, explore the new resort and maybe let the girls do a little night swimming.
I am actually ok with this plan. Lunch at Sanaa eases the blow a little.
I also adjusted Friday's schedule slightly as well. I had later in the day fast passes for the day assuming we would be out super late the night before. I moved RnR to earlier in the day. I would like to have all of them in the AM but with Slinky Dog @ 10:55 - 11:55, It's a little hard.
I also am toying with the idea of on our first Hollywood Studios day of going to EPCOT in the evening to possibly get some more Festival of Arts food. I want to let the girls do the Figment search thing and am thinking that we might not be able to finish it on the first visit. but the beauty of that is, we can decide that once we are there!
