Big firsts & friends: an Easter trip report

So my EPCOT plan for Friday had me a little worried, but I thought, eh, we’ll just do our best. However, I just texted the babysitter to see if she could switch from afternoon to morning. That way I could use the 1147 drop to get an afternoon FEA and we could have G+ for both FEA and TT. Truthfully I’d rather RD them both and skip G+, but I bet DH would rather spend the $. If she says yes, I will have her come take the kids to breakfast and the pool, then we will go to our Space 220 lunch, ride GOTGx2, TT (LL), Club Cool, FEA (LL), then meander back to the room hitting Anna/Elsa, Japan, Morocco and maybe BaTB singalong along the way.

Original plan was RD FEA, then do GOTGx2, TT, Club Cool, Space 220, then Japan/Morocco.

What say ye?

  1. The kids won’t sleep anyway, get Dr. Grumps up and RD FEA then TT (or vice versa?) and save yourself $120.
  2. Keep sitter in the afternoon, RD FEA, LL TT. $120 more than #1, but you just can’t RD both at spring break. Downside here is that we’ll have to rush past/skip pavilions in afternoon to get to sitter on time.
  3. Have sitter come in the am and get kids out of the room so Grumplestilskin can sleep in and not cry at RD crowds. LL TT, use drop to get afternoon FEA LL. Downside here is that my G+ alarm is gonna wake us all up at 645 anyway :roll_eyes:

If everyone is going to be up early already, I would vote #1.

Are TPs still not really working for RD? Like is the wait at 9am for TT really going to be an hour? Or is that just because it has me not arriving at FEA til 850?

I think RD TPs are still trash. Hard to really determine.

I think I’d choose option 3 if DH can easily ignore the G+ alarm and go back to sleep.

Yes same here! My upcoming trip has flights and hotel paid for with points from credit cards we use for everything and pay off every month.

I can’t wait to read your trip report!

So afternoon is out as an option because sitter isn’t available until 10. I think I’m just going back to the original plan and adding on a couple more LLs at MK before the fireworks party to justify the spend.

Other than the delay it was perfectly unremarkable. Would do again for sure.

On the way to DS! The luggage drop off AWG offers is clutch. Worth the extra $20 if you’re short on time. We used it last Easter too
