We normally get to the resort between 11 and 1 so as soon as we're checked in we check out our room (if ready) then high tail it down to the boat dock to catch the next boat to the MK. Really I don't think it would matter what time I got to the resort unless it was only an hour before closing, I'd have to go to the MK to know I'm finally there!
Can't wait for my "hardly no planning long weekend trip" in Sept!

after honking the horn when passing through the WDW archway, , I get settled into my room, and turn on the WDW parks channel that comes on when you first turn on the tv.
I love that!! Its one of the things that makes me 100 % sure I'm back!

1st thing we do
Go to MK and go straight to Disney's Philharmagic, it gets us in the Disney frame of mind and we feel like we are officially in Disney.

Lat time we went to DTD, ate lunch, then went back to the resort and took a nap before going to Epcot for dinner at Le Chefs. This next trip we are planning on hitting MK right off the bat (it shouldn't be too crowded). In the past that has really reassured me that I'm home!

We usually unpack and sit by the pool for a while, grab a bite to eat if we are hungry.
This year we are going to be arriving mid-afternoon and will not be using a TS that evening so we will probably go to Epcot and eat at a counter service restaurant.

It depends on arrival time.
Last year we drove down, and got there early afternoon. Usually when we fly we get there LATE.
One thing I try to do, before we bring in the luggage is to snap a photo or two of the room. Then bring it in, stow it, and collapse for an hour or so before heading out to do a park or eat or whatever. This year, we will be doing MNSSHP for our first night.

We usually stay at Fort Wilderness, so after we are set up we head to the marina and catch a boat over to the Contemporary or Macic Kingdom just for a look around. Then a lap on the monorail loop. Or may Trails End for a beverage

Every trip, we fly in by 11am, check in at the hotel, have a bite to eat and go straight to the Magic Kingdom!! It has become tradition and last trip, I asked the kids if they wanted to start somewhere else, and they said no way...we always to to MK!! It is a great feeling to know they share my thoughts about "Coming Home"

Head back to the resort....relax and get to bed early so we're fresh and ready to go early in the morning!!!

Getting there!
We usually check in, get in our suits, swim, grab a bite to eat then walk around the resort. We always make MK our 1st park to hit the next day. Last time we went, we played mini golf and that was really fun and relaxing, the girls loved to play ping pong pool side too!

If we get in during the day, we generally eat at Capt cooks under the palm trees and take in the Poly atmosphere and then off to MK!
If we arrive in the evening, a stroll around the Poly enjoying the tiki torches and sounds and that lobby "smell"

We usually get there late in the afternoon or in the early evening so we get into our room, unpack a few things, splash some water in our face and then head to the Magic Kingdom, head up main street, say hi to the castle smile cause I am back home and then head into tomorrow land to ride spacemountain, which usually has no fast passes left by this point in the day or if there are we grab one for later, then we usually end the night by watching "wishes and then we always for some strange reason ride the haunted mansion before heading out of the park.
