Hi Everyone!!!
It is getting so close!!!
19 days!!!!
Next weekend we visiting the L's for our 10th annual Friendsgiving! Which is hard to believe! It is going to be so hard to NOT talk about it. The only thing that will help is that we do have other people with us, one of which is very NOT into Disney.
Keeping the secret is getting so hard! Now that all the Christmas stuff is being rolled out, I want to tell the girls about it but know if I talk about it too much they will catch on!
I have to start reaching out to the girls teachers to find out about homework. they are only missing 2 half days and one full day, so hopefully homework won't be too bad. And I know Gwen's teacher will be ok with it. She is a big Disney fan as well! She spotted me at back to school night because I had by snack backpack and my snack phone cover AND my Flower & Garden Tervis cup. Oops!
So, I have been working on my cheap sheets that I put on our phone screens. It is how I really start to put the days together in my head. So, I thought I would start to go through the days here to run it by all of you experts!
So, let's start at the beginning!!!

Here is my cheat sheet so far. Once I have all the days set up, Andy's takes it an dmakes it look ALOT better. But I get all the of the things on the page. (It is also my secret way to get Andy to think about the plan for our trip)
So, we fly out Black Friday Morning super early! I booked us parking already at a private place, so that we know for sure that we have a parking spot. I was worried leaving the day after Thanksgiving the lot would be full. And it is only a couple more $$$ a day, so we figured it was worth our sanity that morning.
We should land by 10:30. And hopefully make it to Caribbean Beach by noon / 12:30? (hopefully)
So, my plan is for us to check out all of the gingerbread displays. (minus Wilderness Lodge because we have dinner reservations later, so I know we will get there) I assume the L's might not be completly up for checking these out, and I def want to see them all!
Uber to the Poly, check out the Poly and have lunch there?
Maybe get some Pulled Pork Nachos for lunch!
Pulled Pork Nachos
Then head on the monorail and see the Grand Floridan and the Contemporary.

After we get our fill out the gingerbread of both, take the monorail over to EPCOT. Especially now that you don't have to go through security again! It would be worth it.
We could cut through EPCOT, maybe grab a treat? Maybe ride Spaceship Earth?
Head to the Beach Club to see there display.

Does Yacht Club have anything that we should check out? And the Boardwalk as well?
Then we can make our way into Hollywood Studios for the evening. I am hoping we can get there around 5:00? Does that sound reasonable? Worst case, if we had stuff we wanted to get rid, of we could ride the Skyliner to Caribbean Beach, drop the stuff off and then head to HS. I mean we need to go to Caribbean Beach anyway if we wanted to ride the Skyliner from EPCOT to HS? right?
We have 2 fast passes, Star Tours and Slinky. I assume it will be busy in the park, so I figure we will have just enough time to ride those and check out some of the holiday decorations. before we have to go check in to our dessert party!

The plan will be to enjoy the desserts and the show and probably head out after. It will be a long day and I am sure we will be done by then! But we will be able to hop on the Skyliner and be back in no time! (hopefully)
