stopping somewhere about an hour north of orlando to spend the night. don’t know where yet and i’m not making reservations…we’re just gonna wing it!
OK, I'm here too! Hi fellow Peep! I wanted to offer you a few little tidbits of advice if ya don't mind. Well, I'm gonna do it anyway!
DON'T, I repeat, DON'T stop in Wildwood, FL on your way down to WDW. DH and I did that on our honeymoon and encountered a mouse that wasn't Mickey in our hotel room! Ocala is pretty nice.
DO ToT!!! (Assuming you like thrill rides, of course.) I didn't do it until Feb '06, when a friend got me to go on it first thing in the morning. It ROCKS! It might just be my fave at MGM! LOVE IT!
At PI, DH's and my fave is Adventurer's Club. I describe it a little in my TR, but it is just a riot!
At The Boardwalk, we love Jellyroll's. Sing-along dueling piano bar - SO much fun!
And DH and I are Star Wars fans too! (Not like over-the-top, but we are fans.) I can't believe they moved Star Wars weekends either! We will miss it too, and we have done it the past 2 years!
So glad you are doing a trippie! Can't wait to read it! (Probably after I get back from WDW myself. )
yay! more peeps! thanks for the advice about the hotel. i want to stay somewhere cheap, but not THAT cheap! and we're definitely going to the adventurer's club. i already have that on my to-do list!
about ToT, i'm thinking i will do it. here's my problem: i hate those drops! i LOVE rollercoasters. i rode space mountain when i was 8 years old and of course the times i've gone back since. i live near atlanta and i ride almost everything at six flags over georgia. my favorite ride there is deja-vu (which is now closed......boo! ), which was a very scary roller coaster that takes you straight up backwards, drops you forward and go through loops and turns and whatever, then takes you straight up facing the sky and drops you straight down backwards and you do the whole thing over again. i said i ride most everything because i do.....everything except acrophobia!!!!! it's a ride similar to ToT (although not as cool, i'm sure!) that just drops you and then it's over. i love thrills, but i just hate the dropping down and, boom, you're done. i feel like i'm gonna pee on myself.....literally. but from what i've seen and read about ToT, the theming is really cool and the drops aren't too horrid because you're strapped in. i think i can handle it *once*. we shall see!
