My envelope is almost full

On our upcoming trip, we will be going first to Busch Gardens and Adventure Island for 3 nights. We will then go to Universal for 4 nights at the RPR, then on to Daytona Beach for 4 nights. I made 3 large envelopes for each portion of our trip. In them I put things like confirmation info., coupons, and all the things that we have already paid for (i.e. GC's, movie tickets, park tickets, etc...). My Universal envelope is almost running over. Now I'm getting even more excited about July 7th getting here. I suppose I'll try to pass the time by adding to the other 2, but I just can't seem to get into planning for those.

Have fun. I would love to hear about your trip to Busch Gardens, haven't been there in years. You must let us know about the attractions and the lines. What's Adventure Island? Again, have fun.

Because we live in the suburbs of Tampa and were planning this trip, we went ahead and purchased season tickets for both BG and AI. This is the first year that our son has been brave enough to ride all the coasters, so he couldn't wait for our trip to use them. We went last Sun. We got inside the park about 9:15 (opened at 9:00) and went straight to Rhino Rally, which has been known to have waits of up to 2 hrs. We walked straight in and were placed on the next Jeep that pulled up. The wait for the coasters was never more than 10 minutes. The wait for the Rapids was about 20 min., and we waited about 10 min. for Tidal Wave. We didn't ride the Log Flumes, but the line looked like it was probably about a 30 min. wait. We rode the water rides before noon. The lines were longer later in the day.

Adventure Island (a water park) is a sister park to BG and is across the street from it. This is our family's favorite park. You can take a large cooler in, and we have never had anyone disturb anything.

If you have any more questions, I'd be happy to help.

Have fun and I know what you mean. I keep an envelope as well and I open it everyday, just to keep my self updated and continue planning!

This is what is so great about staying at one of the Universal resorts is FOTL. What a concept, what a great idea. Build a resort in walking distance of the theme park and offer continuous express pass with the flash of your room key. It is amazing. I have been spoiled at Universal.
