This trip was supposed to be a secret but Disney mailed a confirmation letter when I asked them not to and Melissa broke the law and opened mail that was not addressed to her! I’m trying to think of what her punishment should be, hmmmm. ANNNYWAY! So this is my first Pre-Trip report. I was gonna post it the night before the trip and watch as Melissa’s head exploded. I was gonna do the whole, “Well, I tried to get a room at the beach but everything was booked so instead were are going down to South Carolina to spend Memorial Day weekend with my parents!” And then as the either sad or pissed off look took over her face I was going to let her stumble upon this post, queue head exploding moment. Image Elaine pushing Bizarro Jerry across the room, “Get Out!” That was going to be me, but no. Maybe one day I will manage to keep just one secret, who knows. But that is ALL she knows at the moment, so here’s what’s up:



WHERE: All-Star Sports
WHEN: Memorial Day Weekend – Saturday, May 24 – Monday, May 26
WHO: Just Melissa and Andy!
WHY: Because I had to get Melissa back to Disney World for a relaxing time all by ourselves.

So here’s the plan…

Friday, May 23
-A PreTrip Memorial Day Cookout Celebration at Andy and Melissa’s house. Anyone in the vicinity is invited for a Wii bowling Championship/Beer drinking game. A side note; every time I Wii bowl I end up getting drunk really quick because every time I’m done my brain says, “It’s not your turn, you need to take a sip of your beer.” And then it says, “Hey, it’s almost your turn…take a quick sip of your beer!” So many frames and 3 beers later my 230 pro score has gone down to around a 195. This is how you should teach kids about how alcohol inhibits your senses, “See kid, I’m not a bowling pro anymore because I drank too much!”

Saturday, May 24
-Flight 308 from Charlotte to Orlando leaves at 8:25 AM and lands at 10:00 AM.
-Check in at The All-Star Sports…a first for us. Nice and inexpensive!
-I was thinking Epcot all day…but we will see.
-Dinner ADR: The San Angel Inn – Mexico Pavilion – 7:15 ADR
oWe’ve never eaten here before but I thought it would be a nice romantic getaway. A good place to relax on our travel day.

Sunday, May 25
-Animal Kingdom in the morning, Epcot in the evening, and MK for a late night EMH!!
-Lunch ADR: The Yak and Yeti – 11:30 – This is now a MUST for every trip!
-Dinner ADR: The Rose and Crown – 6:20 – This is tentative, if Melissa wants to keep it we will. But I do love this place!

Monday, May 26
-MGM in the morning.
-Lunch: Lunch with an Imagineer @ The Brown Derby 11:30
oMelissa has always wanted to do this so I thought it would be a great surprise but seeing as I can’t keep a secret I guess it’s not a surprise anymore!
-Flight 234 departs from Orlando at 7:59 PM and arrives in Charlotte at 9:37 PM
-11:00 PM sleep
-3:25 AM wake up to see what the cats are fighting about
-3:26 AM Sleep

So there you go…our plans. I’m sure they will change as they are now in the hands of the master planner…but I think I did a good job?!?!
