Who: DH and I
What (and Where): Quick Walt Disney World Trip
When: March 7th - March 10th
Why: Well… 
A little back story:
After Christmas, I was feeling the Disney Blues. We just went after Thanksgiving 2023 but that never matters. We have had some big family drama recently and I just needed something to look forward to- I mean we. And don’t let DH fool you. He’s been joking about booking last minute flights to Orlando lately. He’s actually priced them out. So I think he likes WDW a little more than he lets on. As long as I don’t run him ragged. Anywho, I need a little magic back in my soul so what better place than where magic lives. And I upgraded to an AP on somewhat of a whim a couple months ago. Now it costs money not to go to Disney, right?
So I booked a long weekend for the first weekend in February. I was super excited to finally experience FARTS. But for several reasons that trip had to be canceled. Hold UP! Rescheduled… Always reschedule… Never canceled. (Yall scared me for a minute there) So I changed my flights, found a good AP rate for a Coronado King and started planning.
I’ve been to Flower & Garden many times so unlike the February trip I’m not SO festival focused now (or so I say, don’t listen to me, I lie). So what do I do with my days now? Then I saw @ThorKat and her DH tackle a 4P1D trip! Her DH named it FARKS. It’s no FArts but it rolls off the tongue just as sweet!
I’ve never attempted to visit more than 2 parks in a day and normally it’s just 1. We can’t commit to rope dropping, rushing around or a late night. What can go wrong? 
The Fine Print:
4 modes of Transportation (bus, boat, monorail, skyliner)
3 Attractions (2 rides and 1 show at each park)
2 Eats (at least 1 food and 1 drink at each park)
1 Day (Friday, March 8th)
We will arrive on Thursday early afternoon and spend a little time at the pool. I haven’t decided where to eat for dinner but it will be at Coronado. We’ve never stayed there and I’ve heard wonderful things about the pool, food and lounges. We may have after dinner drinks at one of the bars but it will be an early evening.
Friday we plan to be at the bus stop for AK no later than 8:30am! (That is early-early for DH 
) Or I may just get a Lyft- who knows. Plan is to be at AK for 9am. AK 
MK EP HS
Saturday will be F&G and another park. This is still up in the air. I’m thinking Saturday evening in Epcot will be packed so I may start in Epcot and end in MK. We will see. I’d like to hang out on the beach at Poly or Geyser Point for the fireworks. This will be a low key day I’m sure…
Sunday we will have brunch (undecided but probably at Coronado) and then play a round or 2 of putt putt before our mid afternoon flight home. I won’t feel like it’s long enough. But I did a 3 night trip last March and it was just fine. I have 2 more trips to plan for the rest of the year. Can’t use all my PTO now.
This trip will be my first to and from MCO where we will not be flying SW. We will fly Spirit and Frontier. DH just found out. He’s being a little dramatic. 
update our will, set up a trust for the dog, burn all the pictures in that shoebox in the back of the closet… Wait, did I say that out loud 
(I’m going to be upset if any of yall believe this last one. Because no one prints pictures anymore 
)
I. AM. READY. (I think)
wave, let me know!
I don’t NEED to add a third attraction to follow my rules. But I do love the Phoenicians!
Tonight, I’m finalizing my game plan. I will not delete plans and frantically start over the day before we leave! 
I saw that my 2 Spirit personal bag size luggage came in today. I opted for the cheapest options ($20 and $27 respectively). They are less expensive together than purchasing 1 carry on bag. But since I have a feeling this may be my (first and) last flights on Spirit/ Frontier, I didn’t want a big investment. I did see some really nice leather duffle type bags that would fit the required size and I really, really liked them… but $$$$$.
