Walt Disney World: It's Not Just for Kids

For my Universal Orlando trip:


*I’m holding off on making my touring plan until the Wizarding World of Harry Potter (WWoHP) officially opens on June 18.  It is looking extremely likely that I’m not going to fit on the Forbidden Journey, just as I had worried.  This throws a couple of curve balls my way:  Do I skip it all together?  If I do, I may be ok showing up at 9am and just checking out the shops and doing The Flight of the Hippogriff.  Do I try to see if I can fit (good blog fodder,LOL)?

*I am flip-flopping on what day I want to spend at Downtown Disney, I feel like I will know more once the WWoHP is really open.

*I bought a new suitcase yesterday!  I’m very excited to try it out on both my Universal trip and my cruise. I got it at TJ Maxx for about 1/2 of its real price!  I am going to call a couple of Marshalls/TJ Maxx in my area to see if they have the carry-on.  However, my current carry-on matches it, and is fine.  My old big suitcase was old enough that it was made by American Airlines (I find the fact that I would need to pay to check it on American Airlines hysterical).

*The Hyatt MCO is currently not showing up on Hotwire.  Thank goodness I have my Costco rate.

For my cruise: My ADR window opens on Thursday.  As I am staying at the Swan, I don’t get 80 days+10. I am currently changing my ADR plans like my underwear-I think this is what happens when a hotelpickaphobe choose to stick with a hotel.  At the moment, my plans are:

Friday:  Get up.  Check out Epcot resort areas Christmas decorations, grab snack at Boardwalk Bakery.  Hop on bus to MK and go over to monorail resorts.  Grab linner at Captain Cook’s.  Head into MK for 4pm admission to MVMCP and meet.

Saturday.  Get up.  Head to Epcot-hit Soarin’, Journey into Imagination, Test Track.  Lunch at Chefs de France(?). Chill around WS.  Evening meet at Boardwalk.

Sunday-Cab to AKL for Boma breakfast meet.  Cab back to swan.

I picked up water shoes from Lands End-they looked more wearable than my cheapo old ones, and were 40% off.

I had my travel agent add the fact that I am a vegetarian onto my reservation.  Vegetarian options look pretty plentiful, but I figure it never hurts to add it.
