I wont' got into all of the boring details, but suffice it to say that I have WDW Dining on speed dial. I made my original ADRs at 180 days and have changed them a few times since. So as of today here are my plans. I make no promises that they won't change again though.

Saturday, May 3
9:30 - Manicure/Pedicure appointment (the fingers and toes have to look nice )
12:30 - Head to the airport
6:30 - Land in Orlando
DME to Pop
I plan to either have dinner at the Pop food court or if I'm feeling like it head to DTD and eat at EoS.

Sunday, May 4
Breakfast at Pop food court
Check out of Pop and have luggage transferred to BCV
Go to BCV and check in. The room probably won't be ready so I plan to head to Epcot for awhile and enjoy the F&GF. I am so excited that I can walk over there!
Lunch will either be WS CS or Rose & Crown Pub
I'll head back to BCV early afternoon to spend some time at SAB and hopefully get into my room and settle in. I got a letter not long ago that they're closing the slide at SAB on Monday so I want to be sure to get there on Sunday. This 52 year old still loves the slides!
I have a 6:10 ADR at California Grill and then plan to spend the evening at MK EEMH. (It's open until 1:00 am! )

Monday, May 5
Sleep in (I know - it's for suckers )
Head to DTD for some shopping and have lunch at either EoS or WPC depending on my mood and the lines.
More time at SAB this afternoon.
Dinner at FFC and then DHS EEMH.

Tuesday, May 6
Up EARLY! (not a sucker today )
Meet Sharon (Grandmasam) in the lobby at 6:45 to take a cab to WL. We're walking from there over to Trails End for breakfast before our Ft Wilderness Segway Tour! I am so excited about this tour. I've done Around the World on a Segway at Epcot twice and it. I'm also looking forward to meeting another Passporter!
After the tour I'll head to MK for awhile. Lunch will be CS. Depending on how I'm feeling I'll either head back for more SAB time or a nap before dinner.
Dinner is at Bistro de Paris.

Wednesday, May 7
Alice arrives today. We plan to spend the day at the F&GF at Epcot.
Lunch is at Chefs de France.
SAB is a possibility.
Dinner is at Spoodles.
Evening will depend on how tired we are. We might try Jellyrolls since we'll be near there.

Thursday, May 8
Check out of BCV
Alice and I are taking the Gardens of the World Tour. With her love of gardening I thought she might really enjoy a tour lead by a WDW horticulturist. I have never taken a tour at WDW that I didn't enjoy. They always point out details that I've somehow over looked. This should be fun!
Terri arrives around lunch time.
Check into BWV
Lunch at Beaches and Cream
Afternoon will be up to Alice. Either back to Epcot or pool time.
Eventually I'll head over to AK and Alice will head home.
Dinner - Y&Y and then EEMH

Friday, May 9
Morning at MK - I think that's what we planned. Am I right Terri?
Lunch - CS
Head to Epcot sometime in the afternoon
Dinner - Tepan Edo
EEMH at Epcot

Saturday, May 10
Up early
Breakfast at Spoodles
Check out of BWV and head to MEMH at DHS
This will be a quick trip to experience the AP preview of Toy Story Mania! When they announced this Terri and I moved our breakfast ADR early to try to fit this in. We'll be dashing when it's over to head to Port Canavaral for the Westbound PC cruise!

There will be many firsts for me on this trip. Several of my ADRs are new for me: California Grill, Trail's End, Bistro de Paris, Yak and Yeti, Tepan Edo, and Spoodles for Breakfast. I've never eaten in the Rose & Crown Pub (only the dining room) or at Beaches and Cream or the Pop food court. This will also be my first time staying at Pop, BCV and BWV (or any Epcot resort for that matter). Both tours are new as well. I will also be seeing the F&GF for the first time.

Besides my meet with Grandmasam I hope to meet up with Jookiba some time. Either at the Beach Club or maybe at AK. There are several other PPers who will be there, but our schedules aren't overlapping. Hopefully we'll run into each other at some time. I also hear a rumor that there may be a surprise appearance in this TR by an exteemed member of the PPer family. I've been sworn to secrecy, but stay tuned.

You have some amazing plans there, Lesley. I'm only sad that I won't be a PassPorter to cross your path this trip.

Spare me a thought on the 4th May. You will be dining at Cali Grill on my Birthday.

Sounds terrific, Lesley. You'll love being able to walk to Epcot, and even better is being able to stroll home after Illuminations.

See you on May 10!

Wonderful plans, Lesley! And wonderful ADRs. That Gardens of the World Tour sounds like something I would enjoy. I'm kicking myself for not doing it, but I guess there's always next time, right?

Sleeping in is only for suckers on park days! You've got the right idea, here. Sleep in on your slow day (which sounds absolutely heavenly!)

Wait... what?! I never heard that rule. You and K-Dubs always drive us so hard that I thought it was an across-the-board decree about NO SLEEPING IN!

Lesley, I think your idea for a pre-cruise park trip is ideal and totally appropriate! (Especially as Disney math convinced you to go a day earlier! )

Have a terrific trip!
