We are also going for my sons make a wish from august 15-21 but I am so worried about the weather, are you? I know it rains everyday in orlando but they are calling for severe thunder storms daily. My heart would break if this trip is a bust. His send off party is this Saturday and I figure I might have until then to see if we could reschedule. It would allay my fears to hear if you are not worried and proceeding as planned. They go through so much and I just couldn't bear the disappointment of sitting in a hotel room the whole time. We do enough sitting around in hospital rooms. Please help, give me confidence! Lisa
I searched and searched and finally found this post again! success! So, to answer your question....we checked out Orlando weather today and I'm not really all that worried about it. Most days are calling for 30% chance of scattered showers and thunderstorms. Most of them won't last long, and will probably help cool things down. I did go to our local Dollar General and buy us some clear (see thru) disposable ponchos. For six of them it cost me like $8, they were really cheap. We plan to go to seaworld and sit in the splash zone, and that was mainly what I wanted the for, but we will have them if we need them on other days. Honestly, I have NEVER been to Florida that it hasn't called for some form of rain every day....sometimes it happens, and sometimes it doesn't. It's definitely NOT worth worrying over. Are you staying at GKTW? It looks like we will be spending that first day there checking out GKTW, and going to the meeting that night. Our send off party was tonight and it was amazing. After we put the kids to bed we sat down to figure out if our expense check would cover everything we hoped to do. (Dine with Shamu, dinner at margaritaville, either Blizzard beach or Typhoon Lagoon, and the pirate dinner theatre.....and we also needed to save money for tolls, gas, and spending money for kids.) They were definitely generous in that aspect and it looks like we can do it all, and still have plenty left to do other things. So now we have to find out if there is anything else Spencer is interested in. Are you as excited as we are???
