All tagged Disney December 2017
As you have probably read, we went to Disney World back in December. I wanted to do one last post that included all of the things I wrote about in regards to this particular trip. Check them out below.
Today was the VERY end of our Disney trip. This won't be too lengthy of a post simply because the majority of our day was spent driving! But I did want to finish up our trip report!
Today was a sad day. It was our very last day at Disney! While we were excited about some of the things we had planned, we were also sad that our trip was literally almost over. It was also a misty day. It wasn't raining enough for a poncho, but it was sprinkling enough to frustrate you!
Today was an early morning. We had a breakfast reservation at Be Our Guest at 8:20 am. I wanted to be there fairly early so that we would be able to get in closer to 8 and take a few pictures with a fairly empty park. Our only other reservation for the day was for Emily and Justin at Hollywood and Vine for dinner. We also had Fastpasses scheduled in Magic Kingdom after breakfast.
Today was meant to be our "break" day. We did have lunch reservations at Biergarten at Epcot along with a couple of Fastpasses. None of our Fastpasses were "required", but since we had a park ticket that day, we opted to book some Fatpasses just in case. The night before, Brad and I decided to try and make it to Epcot at park opening and do a few things before lunch. Then we could spend the afternoon and evening around the resort or at Downtown Disney.
Tuesday was scheduled to be our busiest day yet. We planned to visit three parks - Epcot, Magic Kingdom, and Animal Kingdom. We had breakfast reservations at Garden Grill at 8:05, an hour before park opening. Then we had Fastpasses to the Na'Vi River Journey between 7 and 8 pm. The park closes at 8. So it was going to be a very, very long day! Long, hot, busy days tend to lead to breakdowns. Check out ours below!
Our second day of our trip to Disney was actually our first full day in Orlando. Since we traveled so much the day before, we decided to take the morning easy. We made lunch reservations at the Garden Grill for noon. So that was our only true deadline. Our plans otherwise were to spend the day at Epcot. We had a few Fastpasses for that afternoon and dinner planned at Chefs de France.
Since we opted to drive to Disney with an 18 month old, we decided to leave our house as early as possible. We wanted Melody to sleep as much of the drive as we possibly could. We opted to leave at 2 am. On a "normal" drive, it takes 10-11 hours. Plus there is an hour time difference. We usually only stop once for food and, at most, once for gas. I knew that was not going to be the case with this drive however.
