The Plan…it’s not set in stone and liable to change! | Pre-Trip Report 2013
Home » Everything Disney » Pre-Trip Planning Reports »We’re nearly there…not long now until we go and it’s about time I rounded up my Back to the Magic Pre Trip Report and let you know the plan!
We had a plan last time we went in 2011, but it did get switched around as the days went by. It’s quite likely the same will happen again! I’ve written about Walt Disney World/Orlando holiday planning recently too, so I’m hoping I took my own advice with the plan for our 2013 trip (^_^)
We are really lucky to be able to go on holiday for 3 weeks – it gives us time to explore and do lots of things without feeling too rushed. I plan in rest days/mornings/afternoons in among all the busy theme parking we will be doing. I also plan to be doing a little bit more exploring of the parks this time around, having been given a book called “The Hidden Magic of Walt Disney World” (hubs ordered it for me and it arrived today – just in time!)
Sadly, I didn’t lose the weight I had wanted to for this trip. I could kick and beat myself up about it (believe me, I have done so already) and the two rides that were off limits for me last time – The Mummy ride at Universal Studios and Forbidden Journey at Islands of Adventure, will again be off limits for me. But I should be fine with everything else.I know that I’m not the only plus sizer out there that worries about fitting on rides, so don’t you worry, in my forthcoming trip report (that I’ll write in the Autumn), you’ll get a plus sizer ride guide again :)
Right, so on with the plan! I may switch things around when we get there – it will depend on how we feel on the day…we’ve got a 21 day Disney pass this time around, so we can make full use of that the whole time we are there. The other tickets are 14 day tickets and we’ll activate those later in our holiday. We bought our tickets from Attraction Tickets Direct as we did in 2011.
