So I guess I’m making an attempt at a TR. It’s currently 3:30am. (well, it was when I started typing) I’m at work (I work for the ambulance service) and in 24 hours, I need to be arriving at the airport. And a busy 24 hours it will be.
Packing? Not started…
Last minute pre-vacation chores? Aplenty…
I’m headed to WDW for a 6-day solo trip. (Tues, Apr 18, 2023 - Sun, Apr 23) Made the decision to go fairly last minute. Put in the time off request on April 1st. I’m glad they didn’t think I was foolin’
Rough plan as it stands
Tuesday
5:30am direct flight to MCO. Should be landing at 7:45a
Park Pass for Epcot (6 day hopper ticket)
I’ve never tried in flight wifi. Hopefully I can grab a BG and $ILL for Guardians. Still debating if I should G+, probably will
Uber or Lyft to the resort
first time staying at Beach Club. Also first Deluxe. Only 2 nights. This trip will be a split stay
Wednesday
Park Pass: magic kingdom (RD + EE)
4pm Hoop De Doo
Thursday

4:25pm Oga’s
switch resort day to All Star Music

Saturday

Sunday
park pass: Hollywood
7:45am Al&Compass (not sure if I’ll keep this)
flight home is at 10:10pm, land after midnight, hour drive home, back to work 7am Monday (yes, that was a crazy idea to leave so late, no I don’t really care… Yolo, as they say)
Somewhere in the first few days I want to check out Storm Along. Not generally a big pool person, but since it’s considered one of if not THE best on property…
Also some Disney Springs to eat all of the Gideon’s cookies
My intention is to keep a live(ish) trip report, but it’s my first go this… If when I cross under the welcome sign I forget this forum exists, I’ve posted Instagram stories of past trips, so that will definitely happen. Same username over there
Hi, I remember you! You’re the other Scott and fellow survivor of Pittsburgh traffic .
Can’t wait to follow along.
Good luck with those busy 24 hours! Hope you get some sleep.
I also like your plane flight choices. I tend to do the same thing–stupidly early morning flight to Orlando and then a late evening flight home even though I will inevitably work the next morning.
Sounds like you should.
Your Friday and Saturday park plans are the same as ours.
I know! This is all so relatable. I tend to do the same. When I lived in Dallas, I worked a few blocks from Love Field and would routinely come back from a trip and go straight to work. Good times!
