1) Pick up rental car
2) Buy snacks/soda/juice at Hess Express, Walgreens, or Goodings (really don't go here anymore because overpriced)
3) Check in and unpack a few things from the suitcase
4) Dinner at Ohana (at least this has been the trend for the past few years)
5) MK and/or Downtown Disney
6) Sleepy time

As soon as we're settled in our hotel, we take a deep breath, big SIGH...mosey around, take in the ambiance of the hotel. Just absorb the magic, the way the whole world should be. I get chills just thinking about it.

We always drive (about 8.5 hours from SC) so we get a late arrival, check in and meet the friends we are staying with, then go to the grocery store first to get some food so we can eat cheaper. After that we either chill for the night, go to Downtown disney, or go to a partial day park, like Epcot's World Showcase since it is open late.

When we arrive in Florida the first thing we do is go to Wallgreans to stock up on food for the 4 am wake up.

Since it's late whenever I get there it's usually dinner and that's about as early as you can arrive if you want to leave the same day from John Wayne. So food, go to room, unpack, black out, wake up, breakfast, epcot and then mission space till I can't walk straight.

4am wake up? Do you get up this early on vacation for a reason?

Find our room, get settled in, and head out to the park with the magic hours that afternoon/night and stay as late as possible. :mickey:

If it wasn't that I can't sleep on airplanes (I don't care how many research articles I read, it's not happening) I would totally go for a redeye and then spend a full day in the parks. In reality I would probably be found sleeping in Mission Space. Hey, that's another one for the nap worthy attraction list!

Nah, you just are being wimpy! I flew into DL from Japan and hit the parks until closing...no naps on any rides and I was up and at the parks the next morning for opening :mrgreen:
