I do have a trip report you can read it by clicking on the link at the bottom of my post. Look for the red letters at the bottom and click on the link to left of them
I would be happy to share some tips with you!!!
Our #1 tip is keep in mind that Give Kids the World is a wonderful place full of great activities!! If we could do one thing differently we would have spent more time at Give Kids the World!! I mean we only got free Ice Cream once... come on that's pathetic!!!
Another important tip is if you want to go to all the parks you get free tickets to you will probably have to go to 2 parks in 1 day (unless you get more time in Florida than the standard time).
Tip 3 -- There are lots of really great restaurants but you need reservations for them, so I visited the food thread on the DIS and decided which restaurants we wanted to visit then scheduled reservations.
Tip 4 -- Give Kids the World suggested to us that we have breakfast before we leave and dinner when we get back since meals are free at Give Kids the World. That worked great for us.
Tip 5 -- Make a Plan -- Talk to everyone who is going to see what is on their must do list. Make a rough plan (that is flexible) which includes everyone must do's.
Tip 6 -- Read the Make a Wish Thread and Wish trip reports to use as resources.
Tip 7 -- Universal seems to really roll out the red carpet for many of the families who made Trip Reports (including my family) so save time for these parks if your family is interested in the attractions they have there.
I hope these help!!!
Make A Wish and Give Kids the World really is on top of everything so even if you don't have lots of time to plan or read trip reports they will walk you through everything!!!
Yes
Happy Planning,
Madeline
Thanks Madeline for the worderful tips..yes we will definitely do universal and ioa. Jaevhyn n Jez love Dr. Seuss n the minions(gotta buy a minion for jaevhyn) and all the nick jr. Characters. I love Harry Potter so yes definitely going. I was thinking of spending his bday there.
We do plan on spending more time at GKTW. I actually planned what we were going to around there schedules. I didnt want the kids missing out on the night activities-halloween, xmas, major claytons bday.
The day we arrive there pretty much wasted because we dont get to GKTW till maybe closer to 7pm. Not much to do except join the pirate n princess party, eat and go sleep.
If we do miss any of the activities its okay to go back the second week right?
Thanks for all the pixie dust
Maria
