I was reading through my 2017 trip report and realized I never did one for my October trip for F&W. I'm also bored at work today, so here we go.
The details
4 adults- me and my friends S, A & M
October 10-14
Yacht Club
QS Dining
3 day park tickets (no PH) + MNSSHP
Initially there were 5 of us (we started planning this trip in January), but our other friend A backed out in late July. We were also going to stay at the Boardwalk, but since M has an AP and the rate for YC was better than BWI we decided to switch resorts in late August.
M also decided to come a few days early (she stayed at Pop & GF CL), so that combined with the fact that we didn't have our park tickets attached to our room reservation meant that our 60 day window actually opened when hers did! I was especially happy about this because it meant that we had NO problems getting our fast passes.
We originally planned on flying in Wednesday night after work, but that eventually morphed into us flying in on Wednesday morning.
Pre-Trip
I once again flew in on Spirit from an airport that's about 2 hours from my house. The airport, however, is close to several family members including my grandfather but it wasn't an option to stay at his house (weird family dynamics with the uncle who is living there now), but I did stay with another aunt & uncle who live close by. So after work on Tuesday I drove to their house, stopping by the nursing home to see my grandfather on the way.
