I love hearing about newbies' trips! Sounds like you all will have a great time.
Hopefully going before Memorial Day will mean the crowds will be lower.
I think the advice is to aviod the EMH park, if you are not going to be there at rope drop, but if you get there that early, then that is a good time to go. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. We are not rope drop kind of people, so I've never been.

I'd have to agree with Melissa. If you're not going to make it early enough to enjot EMH I'd avoid that park - we learned that lesson the hard way last June. In December we didn't go to parks with AM EMH because we just can't get there that early. We do enjoy PM EMH though.
Okay I guess I can’t leave it just at that. DH wants to be up bight and early to line up for his merchandise fastpass. He is dying for one of those Emperor Stitches. How early he’s getting up is undecided as of now but I know it’s early.
The kids and I will follow over later via bus to see the park opening. Asking the kids to wait in line early to get a fastpass to wait in line again later isn’t really fair to them. Plus if we all go together we have to entertain each other where if he goes alone he can read his book and relax with the other fans. We haven’t really ironed out the details of where exactly we will meet up and how, but I figure worse case we will find each other at some point.
Can’t say there are a huge amount of plans for the day. We plan on going with the flow for the most part as Star Wars will take center stage for Mike. We have lunch reservations planned for Sci-Fi and hoping that his plans will allow him to at least eat with us.
Today’s must-sees are Star Tours, of course, Hyper Space Hoopla, the Lights, Motors, Action show, Tower of Terror, and the Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster. I would really like to see Sounds Dangerous, but as DH and DS both do not hear very well I am concerned that the show might not be enjoyable for them. Of course seeing and riding other things would be nice, but what I listed are our only requirements.
Day 5, Saturday, May 22, 2010
Today’s original plans had Mike returning to HS to get the autograph he wanted. However, he decided that he’d just go back Sunday and spend today with us in Epcot.
Today’s must-sees are Mission Space, Test Track, and Soarin. We also like to fit in Honey I Shrunk the Audience, and The Seas with Nemo. I would also love to see the Rock bagpipe band. I LOVE bagpipes!!
We have lunch reservations at Biergarten and dinner at Teppan Edo. Mike wants a Grand Marnier slush as well.
Day 6, Sunday, May 23, 2010
Today is an unknown day. Our first plan of business will be to fill in the gaps of any of our must-sees that we might have missed. Mike plans on heading over to HS to pick up any of Star Wars Weekend that he’s missing. We do have dinner reservations planned at either Kouzzina or Liberty Tree Tavern (Don’t worry I will cancel the one we are not going to use once we figure more out).
Day 7, Monday, May 24, 2010
The plan for today is the same as yesterday. It’s a fill in the gaps day. Only ADR we have today is Kouzzina.
Day 8, Tuesday, May 25, 2010
Today we leave. Our flight leaves just before 2pm so there are no plans for today other then to check out and head to the airport. We are unsure what today’s breakfast and lunch plans are. Figuring breakfast will be at the resort more then likely and then we’ll head out and get settled at the airport and grab lunch. If we still have any cash left, lol.
Sadly, our layover on today’s flight has been pushed to about 45 minutes so I am a bit worried about the day. I go back and forth between wanting to leave later but sadly we still have a two hours trip from the airport once we land home and with the kids planning on school the next day not really sure how much later we want to push the time getting home.

Somewhere in all these plans I am supposed to meet up with my friend who lives near Disney, not exactly sure when yet. We also really want to hit up Disney Quest. The water parks are always an option but not a must see for us.
Since writing the first part of the trip report we decided to book the Wishes Fireworks Dessert Party. I understand it is not straight on as Main Street, but I really hate crowds. Well it’s not so much I hate crowds just that I seem to end up next to the most annoying person ever in a crowd. We will be attending that on Wednesday.
Also, Mike would like to find a good all you can eat crab place. He’s looking for the kinda place they dump crabs by the ton on the table in front of you. I wish we had gone with a 10-day trip but I booked long before I did the research. I also wish I had planned around a shuttle launch, but that’s okay I am still thrilled with the plans and can’t wait to arrive at the park, it will be such a sigh of relief to be in DISNEY!!!
Thanks everyone. I forgot how exhausting getting ready for vacation is. I did manage to get all the suitcases set up for everyone to start moving their things too. I am really getting anxious to get to the trip and have some fun!!
