Welcome!
Although I am cutting this pre-trip report close I was determined to finish my last trip report before starting this (if you're interested you can read it HERE).
As you can probably tell from the title this trip is for our 10th anniversary! We are cheating a little bit because our actual anniversary is in October, but I work in public school so a vacation is not quite as possible then. We didn't debate much about what we wanted to do for this anniversary. We talked about maybe Ireland, but it wasn't a long conversation and we settled on another trip to Disney. Under 1 condition...... no kids with us this one time! With our inability to go in the fall we decided on August, as late into the month as we could get, the draw back will be THE HEAT, but oh well we think we can manage without a double stroller, and tons of supplies for the kids this time around. We are really excited about doing taking "adult" adventures in WDW which I'll outline in my itinerary!
So here we are...
What's our Story? We are annual pass holders from Northern VT, and we have been going to Disney pretty regularly (especially since the kids were born).
Tim: I'm a BCBA
Favorite Character- Goofy
Favorite Park- EPCOT
Favorite Ride- BTMRR (Might be FOP, but I've only been on it once).
Deb: Chemist and part time TA
Favorite Character- WALL-E
Favorite Park- EPCOT
Favorite Ride- RRC
This will be our third trip within a year (mostly because we got the annual passes). We took a large family trip in December with our two kids and my parents. We stayed one night at CSR and then 6 nights at the Beach Club. Our last trip was in April at POR in a Royal Room with just us and the kids. Deb is also runner and has run the Princess Half Marathon, The Marathon, and the Dark Side Half Marathon. She has us signed up for Wine and Dine this year. She'll be running the 10k and Half, I'm running the 10k.
Details for this trip:
August 11-16 and we are staying at...
Animal Kingdom Lodge Savanna View for one night (our first night), then moving to...
The Wilderness Lodge, and we are staying Club Level! Which we are both really excited about. Deb was able to book this as a bounce back offer when she was in WDW for Marathon weekend in January. With us having annual passes the cost worked out for Club Level. The reason for the split stay is that we originally only booked the Wilderness Lodge portion of our trip, but then we added the night at AKL later. Because we are staying club level we kept the ADRs to a minimum thinking that we would try and make good use of the food offered for staying club level. We also wanted to make sure we had some nice dining planned as part of our anniversary trip so our ADRs are:
- Saana
- California Grill- Brunch at the Top
- Yak and Yeti
We plan on going to all of the parks and hitting up a water park. We'll see if I can talk Deb into doing "The Void" at Disney Springs.
Up next our itinerary!
Day 1: August 11
Day 2: August 12
Day 3: August 13
Day 4: August 14
Day 5: August 15
