What are the things you like to do?
We'd like to do WDW, but we will probably "only" do 4 days. If we actually do make this trip, it will probably be 2 weeks - DH doesn't like to fly, so we will take a slow drive down and back, seeing some sights along the way.
Here's a tentative plan. We will probably be going late October or early November (the specific days I've chosen for the various Disney parks are based on us going Nov 8-23 and using the suggested parks from UC Tourist - they could change order, etc if we go different days).
Friday - leave home in the late afternoon, drive to Pittsburgh (5 hours)
Saturday - Pittsburgh to Charlotte, NC (7.5 hours) - it's mostly driving through WV - any suggestions on things to see?
Sunday - Charlotte to St. Augustine, FL (6.5 hours) - any must-sees along the way?
Monday - spend in St. Augustine (beach (we're Canadian, it will almost certainly be warm enough for us ), Alligator Farm Zoological Park, lighthouse
Tuesday - Kennedy Space Center (DD and ODS LOVE the space program (thanks, Cmdr. Hadfield!)) - head to my mother's house in Haines City in the evening (we will be staying here for the week)
Wednesday - rest! pool, get some groceries, etc
Thursday - ?
Friday - Magic Kingdom
Saturday - Animal Kingdom
Sunday - rest
Monday - ?
Tuesday - Magic Kingdom
Wednesday - Epcot
Thursday - Haines City to Charleston, SC (6.5 hours) - go to the waterfront in the late afternoon
Friday - Charleston to Washington? (9 hours) - is there something low key to see here in the evening?
Saturday - Washington to home (8 hours) - I'd say we could maybe spend 3 hours in Washington in the morning?
Although DH doesn't really like rides, he loves water slides, so I'm thinking about Wet'N'Wild. We will probably get 5 day passes to Disney, since they are actually currently cheaper than 4 day passes on Undercover Tourist. If my mother comes down as well, DH and I might take one evening and go to Epcot for the Food and Wine Festival for a date night (depending on our dates of course). Any ideas for some more low-key, Florida-y stuff to do? Should we go to the west coast for a day? I'm also debating the trip home. What can we reasonably see in only a few hours in Washington?
