Thanks for the reminder. We're doing the discover tha magic tour that morning. I'd hate to have missed it.

It's funny, my dad just mentioned that yesterday. I can't believe I'm going to lose another hour of sleep when the park is open till midnight! I have to stay until closing, and be back when the gates open...oh well, I'll fill up on Jamba Juice and be raring to go

Luckily I booked our breakfast at Goofy's Kitchen for Saturday at 7:30 and not Sunday...I don't think my parents would have ever forgiven me!

Ok can I have some help here please. We fly in from the UK Saturday afternoon so would normally wake up about 4am in the morning because of the time difference. So we have to put our clocks forward one hour when we go to bed so when we wake up at 4am the clocks will show 5am and we effectively get a lie in?

But in the spring, we "lose" an hour of sleep. That means that if you want to be anywhere on time on Sunday, you have to get up an hour earlier (i.e. if DL opens at 8am and you set your alarm to get up by 7am, your body will actually think it's 6am when you do get up).

Also, I wouldn't assume that the maids/housekeeping will change the clocks, so it's best for you to check the time when you get to your room. Officially, the time change comes at 2am, but most people change their clocks (and watches!) before they go to bed Saturday night.
