My Plan - Tell me what you think?

[Kath2003]

Some background information: two 21-year-old girls. Public transport, no car. Staying on I-Drive. We're not rollercoaster junkies. Libby gets sick on everything. We like water rides. I like rides like Big Thunder Mountain. She's never been to Orlando before - this is my fourth visit. Libby's one aim in life is to meet Stitch Sea World is high on her list of parks she must see!

Day 1 (Sunday): Discovery Cove. Perhaps we'll pop over to Sea World for the evening show when we're done.

Day 2 (Monday): Magic Kingdom. Arrive in the morning. Must do Big Thunder Mountain, Splash Mountain, Stitch's Adventure thing. MUST FIND STITCH. Lunch at Crystal Palace . Perhaps we'll watch the afternoon parade, perhaps not.

Day 3 (Tuesday): Animal Kingdom. Arrive in the morning. Must do Safari, Everest and the River Rapids. Must meet characters! Perhaps pop over to MGM if we're done early. Don't anticipate spending a full day here. City Walk at Universal in the evening.

Day 4 (Wednesday): Magic Kingdom. Arrive mid-afternoon. Ride "smaller" rides like Haunted Mansion etc. Watch evening fireworks.

Day 5 (Thursday): Sea World. Dine with Shamu at lunch time. Must ride Journey to Atlantis and see dolphin, killer whale and sea lion shows.

Day 6 (Friday): Typhoon Lagoon. Arrive in morning.

Day 7 (Saturday): MGM. Arrive lunchtime. Fantasmic Dinner Package.

Are you not getting a car because you cannot drive? I am not possitive, but it seems like a car would be cheaper than public transportation to all these destinantions.

Just FYI- It can sometimes be easy to spot Stitch in Animal Kingdom. Near the Oasis gift shops.

Thanks for the tip about Stitch! I'll be asking every Cast Member I see where he is.

We are not getting a car because we are on a VERY tight budget. We are also 21, so even an economy car is over $200 for the week because of the "young driver" premium. Our hotel has free shuttles to all the theme parks including WDW. When we cannot use these free shuttles, we will be using the I-Ride Trolley (A pass for the whole 8 days costs $12) and the Lynx buses (a pass for the whole 8 days costs $15.50). So, for the two of us, unlimited passes for these public transport options is around $50 - which is approximately what we would have to spend on parking fees at the theme parks for the week. Public transport, therefore, is considerably cheaper than a car. I know we will occasionally have to use taxis but it is still cheaper.

Sounds like a good plan!!

BTW, my hubby's one goal in life (or our honeymoon, in this case) was to meet Stitch as well. We saw him in MGM with Lilo and my DH was incredibly excited to be seeing them both!! Good luck!!!
