1st family trip to USO, am I done planning?

[dez1978]

We leave on Sat. Party of 8, 4 adults, 4 kids, 7, 8, 11 and 13. Kids are big enough to ride everything but Hulk, and just the 7 yr old is too short for that. Staying at HRH so we have express passes. We plan to go Sunday and Monday for most of the day with prob a mid day break. Then Tuesday for a few hours as we have tickets to Moonlight magic that evening. I've made reservations for Cowfish, Bigfire and 1 other place that I can't remember now lol. Lombardis I think. We have P2P tickets. Is this it? Like after 4 Disney trips, I feel like I'm forgetting so many things, but I know its easier here. With EP is Hagrids the only ride I really need to have a strategy for? And what is the best strategy for that? I want to do early entry 1 day, but I'm trying to be more laid back this vacation Less theme park warrior, more enjoy the trip as it will prob be hotter than hades.

Also, refillable cups, is there any powerade zero?

Buy the mugs and reuse them on future trips

Velocicoaster does not use EP either.

If you can do a nighttime dark ride on Hagrids, it is even better than daytime.

Also note that you need some sort of plan with regards to the water rides, as they will leave you soaked. At least, Dudley Doright log flume & Popeye Barges will - think wring out your undergarments wet. Jurassic Park is more just a reasonable wetting. So you may not need to plan for waits, but you will want to plan for either changing after or hitting these right before a hotel break. Also stashing your things while on them (no free lockers at these, but you can use the free lockers at FJ or Hulk).

Its going to be hot, so we are all wearing athletic quick dry stuff. And the Croc tennis shoes with socks. My plan was to take socks off before the rides, stash in bag to give to husband who will not ride them. Let the shoes dry and put back on. I guess I figured the wet might be cooling and would dry quickly.

In that case, just don't plan meals or indoor shows right after.
Soaked + A/C = Cold!
