Saturday May 6th - Time to go home
As part of our Discovery Cove package we had a weeks pass to Seaworld. Although we could see the Kraken from our apartment balcony we never made it here until the very last day.
We had packed all our things and headed off to Downtown Disney to use the Virgin check in and get rid of our bags.
Next it was off to Seaworld. First on the list was Kraken and Journey to Atlantis with no queues. We then watched the various shows including the new Shamu show Believe which was great.
All too soon it was time to get going for the airport. It was nice not to have our luggage with us as it was already checked in. Flight home was again in Premium Economy which is so worth it and all on time.
What I learned from this trip is that it is possible to overplan. While you definately need to plan to get the most out of a trip to WDW there were times when I would get stressed if things weren't going as I had planned. I remember trying to work out when I was actually getting some time at the pool. Overall it was a fantastic trip and we did a lot of things that were one offs like Discovery Cove, Illuminations cruise.
I wasn't sure if Mum and Dad would like Orlando but the good news is Mum, without any prompting told me that she would quite like to go back. As Ric has said he doesn't want to go for 5 years after this next Xmas trip I think me and Mum will have a girls only trip
Will stop rambling now!

) I'm glad you had such a wonderful birthday and your parents were able to join you for some of it, and good for mum for wanting to go back, a mum/ daughter trip sounds like a lovely idea.
