Almost Three Weeks Away!

I can't believe how quickly time has passed between our last trip to Disney and our next one! It seemed like the countdown was three digits and now all of a sudden we are a little more than three weeks away from sunshine and Mickey Mouse.

Our itinerary has changed a bit over the last couple months, especially with the various new experiences Disney has come out with. Here is a summary of how our vacation looks today:

Day 1: Epcot and the International Flower and Garden Festival. Fast Passes at Test Track, Mission: SPACE and Spaceship Earth (which we will probably change). Dinner reservations at Tokyo Dining (a first for us!) and we booked one of the new Epcot experiences - Epcot After Hours Wind Down at the Rose & Crown Pub (England).

The Epcot After Hours Wind Down is a new special experience that requires a separate ticket. The ticket includes the additional park time after Epcot closes, 1 alcoholic beverage or beverage flight (whatever is being offered at the location) and small plates of appetizers. Our fingers are crossed for a whiskey tasting :)

Day 2: Magic Kingdom Day. We were lucky recipients of the Be Our Guest Fast Pass + selection, so we will be having lunch there. Our other Fast Passes include Big Thunder Mountain Railroad and Splash Mountain. We are hoping the new Seven Dwarfs Mine Coaster is open by the time of our trip, so we will swap one of our Fast Pass experiences for that.

Day 3: Rest Day. We have breakfast plans at Kona Cafe (can you say Tonga Toast! We are so excited to try it) and then nothing else is planned. Crazy, right? With our premium annual passes, we have the luxury to try out one of the water parks (fingers are crossed we get in) or we can just lounge by the pool at the resort and enjoy the BoardWalk.

Day 4: Day 2 of Epcot. We have Fast Passes for Mission: SPACE, Soarin and Living with the Land (which we will probably change). A nice day to relax and wander the park.

Day 5: Day 2 of Magic Kingdom. Our Fast Passes are currently for Space Mountain, Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin and Peter Pan's Flight. We have dinner reservations at 'Ohana (inside the Polynesian Resort). I am so excited to try 'Ohana - so many people have recommended it.

Day 6: Hollywood Studios. STAR WARS WEEKEND festivities. We are excited to take it all in. Although there are no celebrity autographs or character pictures we have to get, we want to see what this festival is all about! We may or may not have special shirts to wear - you will have to wait and see. Our Fast Passes for this day are for Tower of Terror, Toy Story Midway Mania and Star Tours. We also have dinner reservations at Mama Melroses.

Day 7: Hollywood Studios - Day 2 of Star Wars Weekend. We booked the special event breakfast for Star Wars Weekends at Sci-Fi Diner and Drive in - we are very excited about that! Our Fast Passes for the day are for Rock n Roller Coaster, Tower of Terror and Star Tours.

Day 8: Rest and Relax day! Maybe do some shopping before we head home? We shall see what the day brings!

And of course I cannot forget to pack my Disney Parks Cards! I just love how they turned out. You can get your very own set on my Etsy site. The whole set if $25 - you really can't find a better deal, especially when it comes to Disney.
