Post 60 days!
Have been very remiss and not updated since FP day!
I had the obligatory nerves and panic about not finding Slinky or FOP, but glad I found the Dibb FastPass Availability tool (think this was down to Abby aka Goldia so thanks Abby! )
Anyway, after a few shuffles and tweaks, we now have the following for the Disney portion of the trip:-

Thursday 15th August - Magic Kingdom
  • Splash Mountain, Big Thunder Mountain, Buzz Lightyear
Plus lunch at The Crystal Palace

Friday 16th August - rest day
Dinner at Boma

Saturday 17th August - Animal Kingdom
  • Expedition Everest, Kali River Rapids, Na'vi River Journey
Plus lunch at Yak & Yeti

Sunday 18th August
  • None park day - Mermaid School at Art of Animation 8am
Dinner at Jiko

Monday 19th August - Hollywood Studios
  • Tower of Terror, Voyage of the little mermaid, Slinky Dog Dash

Tuesday 20th August - rest day
Dinner at Boma (yes, second time I know - we love it! )

Wednesday 21st August - Epcot
  • The Seas with Nemo and friends, Spaceship Earth, Test Track - aiming to do Soarin' as first ride of the day in standby queue
Plus dinner at Chefs de France (*this was originally Teppan Edo but after much umming and ahhing, think we will enjoy this more and hoping to watch Illuminations on the bridge and make our exit afterwards via the Boardwalk area)

Thursday 22nd August - hopefully a rest day, but booked a couple of late afternoon Epcot FP in case we didn't manage everything yesterday
  • Meet Disney Pals @ character spot, Frozen Ever After
Dinner at Flying Fish Cafe

Friday 23rd August - MK
  • Peter Pan's Flight, 7DMT, Enchanted Tales with Belle
    Also Bibbiddi bobbiddi boutique booked for 1pm before the Belle FP, as DD will be in her Belle dress by that time!
Dinner at 1900 Park Fare

Saturday 24th August - rest day

Sunday 25th August - AKL
  • Flights of Passage, Dinosaur, Kilimanjaro Safaris
Dinner at Tusker House and stay for ROL (may switch Safari FP for this if manage it on first AKL day and there is availability)

Monday 26th August - again hopefully a rest day, but a couple of evening FP booked at HS if needed
  • Toy Story Mania, Star Tours, Fantasmic
Definitely doing Fantasmic either way - it is one of my WDW faves and the music always makes me well up 😊

Tuesday 27th August- last full day, rest day or maybe shopping?
Dinner at Narcoossee's

Wednesday 28th August - homeward bound due to be collected by MDE around 4pm
Breakfast at Boma

I realise that HEA is not listed above and that's simply because I have no idea when we will see it! Have every intention of watching it but not sure when exactly - may just make a trip especially for it and aim to watch from the railroad station as has been recommended on another thread 👍🤞

Amy comments on any of the above or any cock ups I have made please let me know!

Other than passing the 60 day mark, I finally managed this..

That was swiftly followed by this..

And finally I saw this!..


Phew!
Now just need BA to not strike on 12th and all will be well
My remaining decision/stress is my room request with TP - previously went for Zebra trail but as these rooms are not yet refurbed tempted to try Kudu trail instead? Will see!
Thanks for reading if you managed this far, but of a long post sorry
TTFN,
Gemma

Your plans sound fab. I'm not sure there's any tweaking needed at all!

Quick question. Did you manage to book both frozen and character spot FP on the 22nd? I read that character spot had changed from tier 1 to tier 2, but when I've tried to amend my FP it won't let me have character spot and another tier 1 FP.

The potential BA strike is a real pain in backside. I'm trying not to stress over it. Our travel home day is 15th August. I really hope it doesn't happen and your plans aren't affected.

The magic bands look amazing, well done on getting them. I sort of gave up checking back with MDE to see what options there were as it was just depressing each time I went for a look and nothing was available.

Not long now, the countdown is getting there.

Yay that all looks so exciting 🥳 your countdown is really getting a move on now! Fantastic that you managed to get the magic bands you wanted! I’ve also heard that the station is s great place to see HEA from so I’ll be interested to know your opinion on this

Yes the tier change thing is really odd as I managed to get both Frozen which we know is definitely tier 1 and the Character Spot for 22nd August and lots of others seemed to have issues 🤔 As it turned out I only booked the 2 FP for Epcot that day, but can't imagine this would be the reason..yet another Disney IT gremlin maybe?!
The magic band thing was nuts - never been bothered about skins or anything before and then the first sniff of a $10 bargain and I'm there! 😂 Your countdown is edging ever closer to departure day - Is it slowing down for you yet?!
