Keith and Della's WDW 2016 Short Trip

Well we couldn't book the Shanghai opening trip due to some date clashes with work, so we decided to book a fortnight in WDW in September instead!

We are heading out on 3 September and returning on 19 September.  We are staying at the Art of Animation resort again but don't have anything else planned.  We'll check out the new Disney Springs, as well as the new offerings at Animal Kingdom including Rivers of Light.  Our friends in Orlando are going to take some time off too so they can travel with us and show us things around Orlando beyond the parks.

I'll put up a countdown clock later on!

Too bad about Shanghai but I guess the rest makes up for it, you lucky pumpkins.

All the cool kids are going in September ;)  Will you guys do MNSSHP?  I think you've done it before?  I'm thinking of doing it on our first night at WDW so we can stock up on 'candy' as treats for the kids - who am I kidding, for ME! - for the rest of the trip.

Oh Mel - that's fantastic that you'll be there too!  What are your travel dates?  Yes - we'll have to do MNSSHP.  We've done it before but it is always a great night :)
Haha!  I'm in!  I'm really, really in!
Patti! You've finally made it to our website!  We can't wait to see you and Brian in Orlando!  Just 199 more sleeps!
Everyone - TwoKingsburys are our friends Brian and Patti who are in Orlando and cruised with us to the Caribbean and Alaska - please make them feel welcome!

Hi Brian and Patti :D

Yes Keith, we're hoping we'll do the MNSSHP on our first night and then use the following morning to relax around the Wilderness Lodge and enjoy the resort a bit.  I've been to a MVMCP before but not the Halloween one.  The kids are looking forward to the 'candy' :D

Oh wow! That's awesome Lisa :) We'll have to try and get everyone together for a catch up photo to counter all the "Shanghai Opening Day" group photos the rest of the club are going to bombard us with LOL.

That would be fun ( Sandie's tight schedule permitting ;) )  I'd be keen

Yay - my date is there.  Now, if only they'd start selling them!

I got all my ADRs sorted.  The short MK dinner times are killing me though.  I'll post my schedule on my thread.  (I do have one don't I?)

Well, this trip has snuck up on me and now it is only 5 sleeps away!  I didn't even get time to put in a countdown clock within my signature (I have one now!)

We fly out on Saturday afternoon.

How are your preparations going Lisa and Mel?  Your departure times must both be getting close now too.

I can't wait for next Thursday night - not only are we at the Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party, but NASA are also launching a major space mission that night, the Osiris-Rex mission to visit and return particles from an asteroid.  It is being launched from a Atlas-V rocket and will be visible from the MK.  Can't wait :)
