Hi Steve,

Hello! I know you can't wait to be there. You will have a ball! My fiance (he's english) and I are getting married there in two months, and we can't wait to go.

What time will you arrive?
Are you going to be on a direct flight from Gatwick?
Are you going to be renting a car, or taking car service?
How many in your party, and the ages of the kids if any.
What type of park passes or hopper passes do you have, or are you just purchasing day tickets.

There will be a lot of fun things for you to do, but it will depend on how much energy you have when you arrive in Orlando.

Let me know so we will be able to assist you further, but more importantly, check around these boards as they are filled with so much information.

Hi Connie,

We fly direct from Gatwick at 11:15 am local time and arrive in Orlando at about 14:30 local time. We are staying at the All Star Movies, so we have the Ultimate Park Hopper included, which includes 3 character breakfasts, which we have already booked, for Park Fare, Hollywood and Vine and Cinderellas Castle (whcih took about 30 phone calls). Our Girls are Bethany 5 and Ellie who is 2. no car did not realy seem to need one, may get one for a day or two, but more than enough transport to get us to where we want to go.

Have a great wedding!

Steve

I will tell you what I usually do when I get there in the afternoon,

Head straight for the pool, and being the big kid that I am go to the arcade.

You can go to Downtown disney. It is really nice there, and children seem to like it there. They at one time had a train kids can go on. I do not know if it is still there. You and your wife could also take the kids for ice cream or have dinner there. There is the rainforest Cafe. That place is a blast. Kids always seem to love it. If you go there and put your name down on the list (it is usually crowded) you can walk around DD, do things with your kids, and then eat dinner. The Buses run frequently so you won't have a problem getting home.

Have you been to the world before?

my wife and I went in 89, when we were young and single, well together if you know what I mean. We loved it and always said we would go there when we had kids, this will be the first of many hopefully.

Thanks for the response.

Hi

After a long flight with kiddies you will probably be fit for not a lot, perhaps just to rest at the pool.

A suggestion for your first full day is that you will definately be up early so why not go to the Animal Kingdom:d

Thanks
