We are staying 3 nights at Wilderness Lodge f/b 2 at the Royal Pacific. 1st day waiting for friend who can't get there till 6:30 pm so we plan on MK with me and DSs (9 and 12). When she gets there we will do Epcot World Showcase for dinner/Illuminations. Next day plan Epcot Future World in the am ...LOST with what to do after that but have 6 pm Cirque La Nouba reservations. Next day is Early Entry at MK and will have lunch at the Plaza, dinner at Narcoose's and watch Wishes. The next day we check out and into RPR. Again...NO CLUE what to do that day. (Maybe Universal Studios but will we be able to ride Rip-Roar-Rockit if we get there later in the day?) Son wanted to eat at Hard Rock that night. I plan to go out with my friend for girl's night that night but remember Universal Kids clubs weren't as popular with my boys as Disney ones. I would love for them to be able to swim but Kids Nite Out doesn't do that. Anyone have any ideas or do the Godmothers do that? Next day we will do early entry at IOA for Harry Potter and stay with that park, maybe breaking for a swim in late afternoon. Mardi Gras parade and concert are that night. Not sure what to do the next day, if anything. I can get late checkout and fly home whenever but have 2 hr flight and kids have school the next day. Which parks should we go to? Friend just has Hopper Passes...we have extras on ours. The SAD SAD thing is both my kids have been to Disney 4 plus times (last was 2 yrs ago) and they can't remember which parks they liked outside of Magic Kingdom

Personally I think you should consider going to SeaWorld and Universal Studios on your days when you have nothing planned.

Just something to think about.

Thanks for your help. I will plan for Universal on Friday and then IOA Sat and on checkout day back to ride the favorites.

Must dos IMO at Unviersal IOA. For IOA besides Harry POtter which you already know about, 1) Jurassic Park River Adventure, great boat ride where you boat through dinosaurs in the river, 2) Spiderman, one of the best hi tech rides in the world, 3) Mythos, a restaurant in Lost continent, not to be missed for the best dining experience you will ever have, eat lunch here. 4) If you have kids Suess Landing has great kiddie rides, and JP has a great kids area as well, besides the boat ride. 5) Hulk coaster, if you like coasters.

At Universal, Lombards for great seafood dinner, or Finnegans for great bar irish pub food. 1) The Mummy, best ride in this park, 2) Twister, 3) Jaws, 4) Men In Black, 5) ET, 6) Terminator, 7) Rip Ride Rocket, if your into super coasters, 8) Simpsons

Thanks for good tips! We've been to Universal twice but never rode Mummy cause kids were scared! Come to think of it didn't do Terminator either! We did eat in Mythos which was great at IOAS. As we will be there for Mardi Gras perhaps I'll make a reservation for Finnegan's or Lombard's for dinner before the parade. My friend who is traveling with us in lieu of my hiusband who has to work, is allergic to beer and needs mixed drinks. For Tampa events we have put cherry vodka in water bottles to mix with coke. I wonder if water bottles would work with security? Last Mardi Gras I kept having to go to Finnegan's to get her drinks while she and my husband watched the kids, and it was quite a hike but I couldn't find other drinks anywhere!
