OK, I'll read it, but I won't like it. Still can't believe you didn't spend at least one night back at home (BC)!!!

Dear Dee,
Paul Noodle here.

You have always been so kind to us on the Beach Club, Yacht Club frequently asked questions thread. I was sorry to hear your family forced you to go to another amusement park, especially one that didn't have pool noodles.

It must have been so lonely.

I hope you get the ginsu, what ever that is.

Sincerely,
Paul Noodle

You can close your eyes during the scary parts.

We really did miss not staying at the BC. We probably would have found a way to include a stay there if you had been in town. Hope all is well with your beautiful grandbaby and that Jeanne is managing to get some sleep!

Where else are you getting your discount info??

~ Marlton Mom

Thanks for joining the party!

The transportation company was one that was recommended in the Universal forum on the DIS. There is a whole sticky of transportation info between MCO and US and US and Disney.

Most of my info comes here from the DIS/Universal Boards but that damn last minute Sea World thing was from the Passporter website. I do get the Mousesavers newsletter/Undercover Tourist e-newsletter monthly, too

My family is used to me screaming "Stop! Don't eat that!" until I stick the camera between their mouths and their plates.

Looking forward to reading your TR. Love the title! Oldest DD and I spent one day at IOA, but we mainly focused on WWoHP.

I'm in, Dee. And yes, it is very, very wrong to use your Disney Visa to purchasde tickets to that other park.

Marlton Mom, thanks for the link (although it did not work for me? ).

[WsPrincess]

Dee, I am here and cannot wait to read. My kids are so little that I know this trip is a long way off for me so I am going to live vicariously through you!

And I think using your Disney Visa just shows where your loyalty is!

Thanks for joining in and for your comments about the title. I think I came up with it at MK.

My second place title was "Universal Charms but the Mouse is More Magical"

Hey, using the Disney Visa earned me $5.80 to put toward MK tickets!

My kids were almost exactly the right age for these parks. Nate is now a rollercoaster junkie, but there are still several things Ben refuses to ride.

I fixed it so now she should get enough hits for a whole drawer full of the Ginsu's

I'm here Dee...and looking forward to your trip report!! Welcome back. Can't wait to hear what you have to say about US/IOA. My family went there for 2 days during our Disney trip in 2005. I'll wait to comment on our thoughts until I read yours. My kids would love to visit the WWOHP. Before we went to WDW last August (remember Flat Dee came to our DIS Meet!) our kids were saying I can't believe we aren't seeing HP since it just opened (and I told them that's exactly why...the crowds were crazy!).

Anyway...I'm buckled up and ready for the ride....
