How was your Halloween Disney cruise??
All caught up now. I live in GA...metro Atlanta...but I have never heard of smallcakes. Something to check out one day.
Where do you guys live? Sounds like you are seasoned vets! I have gone to Disney 15 times in 43 years, so not as many as some but definitely more than others. I have always wanted to own DVC but it just never panned out. My littles are still young (5 & 2) so we may still buy in, but for now, I have learned the trick of renting points! My last two trips were with my parents and we stayed at SSR. This trip will be my hubby's first in about 35 years!
Congrats on getting the Poly and good luck with GF. Your trip will overlap with ours a few days. As far as planning, you sound a lot like me. Personally, I think the planning is half the fun! So it serves the purpose of both organizing my thoughts and passing the time! Love your ADR wish list and hope it all works out!
Looking forward to more!

Excited to read all about it!
Oh dear! I am so sorry to hear about your losses...and so close together. Heartbreaking. I hope you guys continue to feel better and am glad to hear you've been able to get a little time away this year so far.
I am so glad to hear you got GF!!!! We LOVED WWHOP!!!!!!!!! I hope you do, too!
Can't wait to hear more details!
Honestly, I think that's the norm! I follow several PTRs and most seem to change quite a bit. I don't change my plans much, except whatever is necessitated by Disney changes, but I think I'm a rare breed. Lol.I can't wait to actually decide on something finally! I always change plans so much, the actual trip is more often than not totally different than it started! Thanks for sticking with me, hopefully I will get some of these new plans put down on webpage!
We had originally planned a TS but decided to switch to QS. Just not enough time.Check In at the Polynesian, maybe evening time, so not sure as far as if we want a restaurant reservation of just find some quick meal to pick up when we arrive...still to be determined.
We will have to work this in, in a few years, when my boys are older!We are planning on getting maybe a 3-Day for Universal/IoA so we can explore all that the Wizarding World of Harry Potter has to offer.
They actually don't do this anymore. 2015 was the last year. But they still have several SW experiences at DHS.Hollywood Studios for Star Wars Weekends
We will be staying at WL. What are your dates again?Breakfast at Geyser Point Bar & Grill at Wilderness Lodge

Lol. We are actually leaving by 6! With the boys, I figure on a few stops, and it takes 7hrs without stops. So we should arrive between 1-3. We will look around the resort, swim, have an early dinner at Geyser Point, then hit Disney Springs.We used to be really gung-ho and get up at like 6-7am and start the drive and be there by 3-4 o'clock.
Me, too! It will be so fun once we can get over there!I read all the books when I was younger, and then of course have seen all the films, so we are excited,
Sorry to break the news.So sad to hear that!
We'll be there 6/3-6/11 so I think we will miss you by a couple of days at WL. However, your day 3 at DHS I think will be 6/10? And if so that's our full DHS day!We will be going the 8th-18th!
Another Day...Another Change....well changessssss, and these are huge!
Not really sure how this started, or why it is now going in a totally different direction. I seriously have an ability to talk myself into and out of something 100 times. I can think something is a fantastic idea one day, and the next I am wondering why I even considered it in the first place. With all of that, here is how this new segment of the vacation ended up going in a totally different direction.
I am SO glad that ArielSRL let us know that Star Wars Weekends was not going on anymore.
We started talking about how much we enjoyed our Icelandic road trip and how we wanted to do another road trip, BUT, and this is a big BUT.
Onto the next portion of the trip...this one is a huge change. Instead of going to Universal (we talked about this for hours, debating which thing we would want to do more, so this decision was not taken lightly), for 4 days, we are going to be taking a mini road-trip! Exploring the Florida Keys! We have been to Key West for a few hours as a stop on one of the Disney Cruises we have taken. We really loved the area/atmosphere. So we thought, why not spend some time seeing the rest of the keys, stopping where we want, and in total Key West is only 6.5 hours total way from WDW! So not too shabby! We are going to plan out where to stay, just to make sure we will have a room in the summer, which could possibly fill up, plus we had a free night on hotels.com to use and booking in advance we may get a better deal. Another thing is once we get down to Key Largo, we are going to stop at the Florida Keys Visitor Center and see what there is to do! So here is at the moment, how this may end up!
- Drive from Disney's Beach Club to Key Largo, planning on staying the 2nd night here.
- Night 3, staying in Marathon, FL
- Night 4, staying in Key West, FL
- Night 5, heading back about half way and staying in Hollywood, FL at a low-key beach resort!
So as far as everything else, we are still possibly going to get the Annual Passes for the Water Parks, we are also still planning on eating at Kona Cafe, Afternoon Tea at Garden View Tea Room, and Artist Point on our Anniversary Dinner. We still want to go to see La Nouba, and we also want to play some miniature golf, maybe rent a mouse boat, or one of those cool bicycle things for two! This may actually turn into a Disney trip where we don't even go to any of the 4 theme parks!! We are really interested lately in doing a lot of the things Disney has to offer outside of the parks, well more than we know already. This trip might just be the most interesting one yet! Almost everyone, including us, goes to Disney for the parks. It might be fun and something different to not do that for once! It definitely would not be for everyone, and we know it might sound crazy, but it still sounds fun and we are curious to see whether this idea will stick...OR..in a few days we might be doing something totally different again?? Who knows, but it sure is fun planning!!!
Oh my gosh. Us, too. You are not alone in the indecisiveness!
The DIS is the best!!!
Did you ever post about this trip on any other forums? An Icelandic road trip sounds amazing!!!
Ok, so I think this sounds amazing!! Especially after reading your other TRs. I think mixing it up sounds perfect for you guys! WWOHP will be there for many years to come, so I don't think missing that is a huge deal! We have also only been to Key West on a cruise stop and we loved the area. I can't wait to hear about your explorations of the rest of the keys!
I am in agreement here, as well. Disney is so much more than the parks!!!!!
I'm jumping in to follow along!
My anniversary is in June too. And I've never taken such a long trip to Disney. I'm loving reading your plans.
