Josh & Aunt Jen's FL Adventure - Itinerary

[maine_jennifer]

I never ask this, but . . .

Here's my itinerary, what do you think?


Who:

JOSH - my 13yo nephew. #2 in line of four kids
belonging to my oldest brother, who LOVES animals and,
according to his sister, is going to save the manatees
someday.

AND

AUNT JEN (me) - a 27yo, single, fun loving Aunt who is
taking each of her 3 nieces and 3 nephews on a "me and
my aunt only" trip to WDW, except for niece #2 who has
asked me to take her to Disney Califorina when it's
her turn.


What:

A FLORIDA ADVENTURE - 10-day trip to Florida, the last
week of July, no siblings, no parents, just Josh &
Aunt Jen.


NOTES: In dreaming up this itinerary I decided to
skip out on the parks after lunch to rest/swim at our
hotel for most of the days. Also, I used the old EMH
schedule of mornings only. It's kind of long, but
what you see is the extent of our planning. We opted
to go for a 10-day adventure versus a 3-hour tour.

Wow! Do you ever have some lucky nieces and nephews!

I think your plans look fantastic. You and your nephew are going to have an absolute blast!!

 

[maine_jennifer]

Thanks! I feel like I've won the lottery, everyone is coming out of the wood work claiming to me my niece/nephew

I'm sure we're going to have a great time. I've just gotten to the point where I can't plan anymore and I'm starting to get bored waiting for our trip!

Thanks again for your thoughts!

Jen, I personally like the Saturday 7:15am Steam Train Tour



By the way they just moved me from the Monday tour to the Saturday tour...Looks like I will be your guide again If you don't mind (if you do...I will cry ) You saw my very first tour ever... and you can see the seasoned I have been doing this for more than 5 minutes tour in July

Agreed though you are a very nice Aunt... My sister is having her first child next month... I only hope that I turn out to be as good of an aunt as you are

Hi again!

I really like the Train Tour, too!! I actually like to ride the trains as an attraction, not just for a break or to get around!! The very last thing I do before I leave the parks for the last time, is to ride the WDW Railroad. I take a few trips around just to reflect and to thank Walt & Roy for all they did so I could have a great vacation!

I finally got my itinerary the way I like it and PMing you was one of the next things on my list! I was going to ask who was doing the tour on that Saturday - glad to hear it's going to be you! It was so much fun and I really think my nephew is going to enjoy it.

I'm sure you're going to be a great aunt! My advice, buy the kid lots of books, take them to the mall, bring them swimming, and don't be afraid to act silly!

See you in 9 weeks!

P.S. - I promise we'll won't be the last ones to show up this time!
