Hello, fellow Canadian
,
I get the same way.....particularly when I get ready to book our flights. Once its all done, though, and the plans are "final", its soooo much fun to kick into planning gear and start counting down to an amazing vacation.
Where are you staying and when are you going? How old are your kiddos?
Discovery Cove is absolutely amazing.....we have been twice this year, once on New Years Day and once on August 29th. Check out my trip report links in my signature for lots of details and photos. In the January report, there are lots of pictures of SeaWorld, and in the August report, we visited Aquatica twice (both parks you will likely visit on your trip as well, since they are included with your DC admission). We love, love, LOVE the SeaWorld parks.....just as nice as Disney, in our opinions. SeaWorld is our favourite park in all of Orlando, and we have visited all the major ones....all 4 Disney parks, both Universal Parks, SW, DC and Aquatica.
Did you see that Dine with Shamu at SeaWorld has recently had a price drop? (there's another thread about it here on the boards). It was $49 pp, now its just $29 pp. Maybe something you might want to add on to your trip plans?
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to post them here on the boards as there are tons of people who can help you plan your getaway
(and share in your excitement!!).
