Ioa 3/9/11

I've lurked on these boards for years & have always gained valuable info. But now we are Florida residents so we'll be visiting the parks a lot more often

We've never been to IOA & are planning to arrive on Wednesday at 8:30. Any advantages to printing out the tkts vs picking them up?

Our kids are relatively little (48 & 52 inch kids) but thrill seeking. My husband is not so I'm trying to decide if I should make them all wait with me on line for Dueling Dragons!

I thought the meal deal would be a good value option for us but after reading several pages of comments here, will consider that a bullet dodged. Will instead check out Thunder Falls or Comic Strip Cafe and snack- which will probably cost the same but will give us more variety.

Both my husband and myself are larger people but have never had trouble getting into any theme park rides, including kiddie rides, so I'm not thinking that FJ should be a problem but I will still be thrilled to see a green light Wednesday AM.

Thanks to all the helpful people here-for an obsessive planner like me these boards are a must!

Welcome to the Darkside.

You guys should definitely get APs since you're living in FL now. Get one Preferred for the discounts and the others at the FL resident rate of $159.99 plus tax. They have blackout dates but you wouldn't want to be in the parks during those times. If you do electronic pickup you can get your regular park tickets at the Will Call kiosks. You would need your credit card and confirmation number then you can go directly to the gate. If you choose Print at Home, the sheet of paper would be your ticket. You can exchange those for "regular" tickets at Guest Services if you wish.

Again...

and please feel free to ask as many questions as you need to.
