My family went to Orlando in December and spent 2 days at Universal Studios and 1 day at Islands of Adventure.

The reports are in my signature.

Check em out!
 
Awesome report! Thanks for bringing the links over here. I really enjoyed the way you added the photos to the story. "First we pose...then we play". Love it! Great job...thanks so much for sharing. :)
 
Thank you so very much for the compliment.

My family is as much fun as they look ;)
 
I posted a reply on the Trip Reports board and said the same thing as Jess- Awesome report! I wish I had the computer savvy to do one like it! But I could never get my kids to strike all of those poses. My boy and girl can't get too close, right now, without fighting. Your family looks FUN!

It is a bit of work to get the report out there like that, but I don't mind cause I can kinda relive it one day at a time;)

I'm very proud of my kids. They rarely fight-they like to wrestle instead:)
 
Great trip report! Thanks so much for posting pictures too. I had never seen SOG before, so it was nice to be able to view it! :)

How cool that you met Gloria Estefan! That is awesome!
 
Great trip report!
Thank you Beanie!

It's the first time I had ever seen it! It is a very nice place.
My Mom has stayed there many times.

I agree, it was a great way to start our vacation.

WOW!

I just noticed you leave in a day! Have a great time Beanie!

Thanks! I can't wait to get there!! :cool1:
 
Great report! One minor correction though: Part 4 was IOA and Part 5 was Universal. Thought you might like to fix the titles in your links.

PS: I like your signature!

so, did you get it greased yet?

Yeah, we re-greased Dec. 28 thru Jan. 2. I'm too lazy to change my countdown timer but it will most likely be a "Break" in our "Spring" that will need to be greased next.
I cherish the fact that my kids still want to do things with me because we all have fun and I see that in your family. That is a rarity with teenagers and its a blessing.

I count my blessings daily:)
 
Why no microwave at SOG? I thought all the rooms were supposed to have them, and we'll be there in a couple weeks.

Your vacation looked great. We're doing the same in reverse, Universal, then SOG.

We're going to BWI, and we might go to CSR, too for business stuff.

Not sure why there's no microwave, just know that there is none:(
We had coffee, we bribed housekeeping into throwing us some extra packs each day;) and we grabbed alot of sugar when we were in the restaurants. (2 packets is nowhere near enough for 8 people) We used the cooler and fridge for milk and beverages and stocked the cabinets with ready to eat stuff. We did ok with it, but it would make such a difference adding that one appliance to the suite:)

Thank you. We were actually staying at SOG when we did universal, it's a little bit of a ride:)

We visited MK & MGM while at CSR. I was really impressed with Coronado Springs. It's a beautiful resort with a cool pool and good food.

Have a Great Trip!
 
Very awesome report....I WANT TO BE THERE! Sheesh, is there any way to speed up my countdown timer? It seems so far off after all you have shared!!
 
It'll be here before you know it!

Mine was 2 years in the planning, it was all over so fast & now I have my pictures set up as a screensaver so I can look at them every day :)

Have a Great Time!
 
What a great trip report. I felt like I was right there with you guys as I was reading it. I was sorry to see it end because it was so much fun to read. I loved seeing all the pictures in it too, it added a nice personal touch to it.

I just have to say that your family seems like they have alot of fun together. Thanks for sharing!
