I don't plan on spending long at BB - just really want to do Summit Plummet and that's all - I just want to say I've been! Also not planning on being in MGM for more than an hour or two - just want to hunt down Jedi Mickey!

 

[vicky1bfc]

Are you not really water park people? There's no typhoon lagoon on your plans?

We have to spend at least a day in each,but thats only because the kids love those as much as the parks themself,we class them as a rest day.

 

[maleficent_man]

Not really - everyone has their faults!! I get bored really quickly - saying that, I am sure we will spend 2-3 hours there - I'll want to go on everything at least once!!

Hi Nick!

I wonder if you might benefit from spreading out days 2,3 & 4 a bit. Day 1 you may be tired from the travelling and then you have three full theme park days. Would it be worth bumping your shopping / rest day up to day 3 or 4 from 5?

Bear in mind I'm speaking from the perspective of someone with children so I've forgotten (to an extent) what commando theme parking is all about so do take what I say with a pinch of salt

The only other comment I would make is that maybe you'll be tired after your day at Busch to want to do Citrico's? But maybe not!

Cheers

Fair points - I've thought most about swapping those days around - to be honest, Kraken aside, I think of Sea World as a day off! I thought if I move that, I'll have a theme park day, Busch and then MK all in a row - I don't mind taking it easier at the non-Disney parks. Plus with IOA and US closing at about 8pm when I'm there, I can be back to my hotel and tucked up early to get some sleep!!!

Yeah, not sure about Citrico's - I'm play this one by ear - if it seems I'm going to be too knacked then I'll just cancel it!

Thanks

Nick

Looks like you're in for a very busy time Nick.
I'd probably try to space things out a little more, but then I visited every year for 10+ years straight so the desire to get everything done wasn't quite as intense as it might be had I not been going so often.
I would definately rethink the BG then Citrico's idea, I think you run the risk of being too tired to enjoy the meal and when I'm spending that kind of money on a meal I want to be able to enjoy it to the max.

I might just do that....thanks for the feedback folks.
