In less than an hour and a half I make my FP+ reservations. I hope it goes smoothly and I get everything I want. We had to switch our planned park days a little bit after they announced the 24 hr day. We were planning to go to MK that day, but I don't want to deal with all the extra crowds. I don't care about the actual party. I was afraid to switch b/c I didn't want to give up our BOG lunch reservation, but surprisingly I was able to get one yesterday for the day before. Now we're doing MK on Thursday and DHS on Friday. I didn't realize it, but apparently that Friday is part of Star Wars weekend. That looks fun. HAs anyone here done Star Wars weekend before? How was it?
we're staying at Coronado Springs. Boardwalk Villas look beautiful. I'd love to stay there. As of about 2 minutes ago my trip is officially paid off. Yay!! I've been paying with gift cards so it takes awhile.
We did the 24 hour day at MK and the Star Wars weekend last year (we actually did the first two star wars weekends). DHS will be crowded that day as well.
My kids are up early, so we did the 24 hour day starting at 6 am. It was great. The park was empty, my boys love tomorrowland speedway. We rode it 5x in a row without getting out of the cars. DS2 was 3 at the time and thought that was the best thing ever. It was a fun experience, if you have hoppers, go over for a bit. We didn't do the late night, but during the day MK was a normal day.
The Star Wars weekends are a lot of fun. We didn't do the special dining last year, but we're booked for the Sci Fi dine in with the villains this year. We went to a few of the special shows, saw the parade and met a bunch of characters. If you like Star Wars, it's a cool experience. The fireworks they do for SWW are really fun, if you stay at the park late.
