[astrodrummergirl]

Right, this time I WILL write and finish a trip report!

The cast:
Me - 18 - Pin Trading Fanatic, Been to DLRP 8 times, DL once and WDW once last summer, Stitch is my favourite character.
DMum - Age will not be disclosed - Enjoys coming to Disney, Been to DLRP 8 times, DL once and WDW once last summer, doesn't really have a favourite character but does like the Princesses
DSister - 21 - Pin Trading Fanatic, Been to DLRP 7 times, DL once and WDW last summer, Tinkerbell is her favourite character.
DSister's BF - 21 (Didn't know which character he likes, but I think he likes Spiderman.) - Disney newbie, only been to WDW once as a child.

The Plan
We haven't really planned all the days yet, this will most likely be sorted out once we get there.

1st September - Park Day
2nd Sept - Park Day
3rd Sept - Park Day
4th Sept - Park Day
5th Sept - Park Day
6th Sept - Park Day
7th Sept - Park Day
8th Sept - Park Day
9th Sept - Park Day, hopefully the MNSSH Party so the park will probably be MK
10th Sept - Park Day
11th Sept - Check out of the hotel, FLTours van to Port Canaveral to check on to DCL cruise on the Wonder. This is our first cruise.
12th Sept - Nassau
13th Sept - Castaway Cay
14th Sept - Get off ship, did want to try and see the Space Centre but with the towncar/van service, thats probably not possible, Van to Airport for a US Airways flight back to Gatwick via Charlotte (I will be getting my picture with the sign of my name!)

We plan to visit Universal Studios (1 day), Islands Of Adventure (1 day), Magic Kingdom (2 days), Epcot (2 days), Animal Kingdom (1 day), Hollywood Studios (1 day).

Things I can't wait to try:
A Turkey Leg, Haunted Mansion, Spaceship Earth, Dinosaur and Wolfgang Pucks. These are the things we didn't do on our previous trip that are necesseties.

I'll add more stuff as I think of it

Sounds like fab trip - you will love it all! (The only thing I would NOT rush to do again is have a turkey leg - so I will be interested to hear your verdict on your return!!)

Am I missing something about the Turkey Legs? We bought one from the supermarket when we had a barbeque and it was yummy, so we presumed we'd like it. If not, I'll stick to Churro's for the rest of the trip.

I don't know whether I should add anything to this pre-trippie, any suggestions?

I think suzy thought you meant the turkey legs you can buy in Magic Kingdom. Huge things. My hubbie tried one on our first visit in 96 and thought it was horrible, not tried one since.

Oh, I did, I just mensioned that we'd tried one, not at the expense of disney, as it cost all of £1.28 just so we got a feel for one instead of getting one at WDW, spending however much one costs, and not liking it.

 

[Lizzybear]

Have a fantastic trip!

 

[arieljasmine]

Sounds like you have a wonderful trip planned. Definitely do Dinosaur - it is my favourite ride in the world!
