A Very Dapper Girls Getaway - Itinerary and Plans

T-Minus 2 weeks and counting until our Very Dapper Girls Getaway! We've been busy finalizing all the details of our trip...including some last minute changes!! I'd like to go over what our plans our and some of our thought process!!
Arrival Day
The most exciting day of all!! Lauren and I went back and forth on our transportation options from the airport to Disney...um about 100 times! Ultimately for the price difference in a private car service, taxis/uber and a rental car...rental won out! We have so much running around to do that this is the most convenient and fast option. As usual we are renting from Alamo and got an awesome Annual Passholder discount!
I'm arriving a bit earlier than Lauren so I'll pick the car up, then her and off we'll head to Disney's Boardwalk Inn and Villa's...our favorite resort!
After we check-in we'll head right over to EPCOT for some Food and Wine Festival goodies before ending our night at Tutto Gusto!!
Day 2
We'll kick off Day 2 with a meal over at Disney's Fort Wilderness Campgrounds. I'm super excited to try out Trails End before spending the rest of the day at Hollywood Studios.  That evening we are spending some time at Disney's Polynesian with drinks at Trader Sams and dinner at  Kona Cafe before heading to Disney Springs to check out Jock Lindsey's Hangar Bar
Day 3
Today is a FULL Magic Kingdom day!! We'll start out with breakfast at Be Our Guest and end with dinner at Tony's right before the Halloween Party! I can't wait to share with you all my costume!
Day 4
Today is a full day at Food and Wine Festival. I can't wait to try out our EPCOT F&W Festival Sampler!!
Day 5
Probably the day I'm most excited for...Dapper Day!! We are getting all dolled up and heading to the Studios where we'll have lunch at 50's Prime Time Cafe!! We'll spend the evening back at the Magic Kingdom.
Day 6
Animal Kingdom today before heading back to either Magic Kingdom or EPCOT depending on how we are feeling. It's our last night at Disney!! We actually check out today before heading to Universal!
Day 7
It's Universal Day! We have until early evening to explore Harry Potter and I'm SOOO excited!
That's the long and short of it! We have a lot of new things to try and not a lot of time to do it in. We are so excited about so much of this trip and I can't wait to report back!

A Very Dapper Girls Getaway....the FOOD!

Really it's what you've been waiting for right? For me to share with you all the yummy goodness of our trip? Well this trip will henceforth be known as the trip of NEW experiences!! We try and make these "work" trips once a  year, without husbands or kids in tow. We take tons of photos and try to experience things we haven't done before, all for the sake of education. Let's jump right in and talk about our dining selections!

Due to Food and Wine Festival we have opted to do things a bit differently and skip the dining plan. We are going to be trying a variety of table service, counter service and food booths and will be sharing A LOT, all for the sake of education. I know...we have it rough!!

A Very Dapper Girls Getaway - Resort Selection

Wow...this summer has REALLY flown by! I need to spend some time catching you all up on our Very Dapper  Girls Getaway in just 29 days.
Today let's talk about our resort selection. I think this may be the hardest part of our trip every time!

A Very Dapper Girls Getaway - Let's Get Started!

To be honest...I'm not sure where it all started! I'm not sure the first time that we heard about Dapper Day, or when we started dreaming of going. All I know is for years Lauren and I have dreampt of being lucky enough to attend! But what is Dapper Day and why do we want to go so bad?
