Weather looks to be okay so far for Thursday - cool and rainy - about 45F at 11am when our plane takes off. As long as the rain doesn't turn to snow, we should be good to fly out! Fingers and toes still crossed!
As usual, I made some last minute changes. I always do!
I realized about a week ago or so that going to AK on our first night at WDW is a waste since it closes at 7pm. MK is open until 11pm, so I canceled my dessert party for the 14th, moved it to the 8th, and we will be going to MK opening night! Then we will likely do our AK evening on the 10th, hopping from our MK morning. The back up for that is the 14th. Whatever evening we don't go to AK we will go to Disney Springs instead. The only bummer is that there are no Treats and Seats left for the 8th, but the regular dessert party does have better views of the projections, so it isn't that much of a loss.
I am still also trying to get my Spice Road table reservation moved to Monday, right before EEH at Epcot, but nothing has popped up. I shelled out $5 for an alert service, so we will see if we get a last minute cancellation.
I also cancelled a few reservations since I finalized my plans:
So final (ha!) plans are:
