Welcome!

What dates are you visiting? Where will you be staying? Have you made your park and dining reservations?

 

[Kristiann]

We’re in Orlando from the 7th to the 21st. We’re also going to Universal! Staying off property because I work for Marriott so my rates were more in my budget then staying on property. Yes made our park reservations and dining reservations!
Just wanted to hear from others where their favorite places to eat are and favorite attractions!

One thing that seemed to work well when we did universal was to rope drop and hit the harry potter rides. Also, try to get as much done as possible but like 10 or 11 because the crowds start to roll in with express passes

I’m not too worried about Universal, we have express passes for Universal

You say you work for Marriott. Do you get deals on Westin? If you stay at Swan and Dolphin it is the closest thing to staying at a Disney resort. A lot of same amenities and it’s in the middle of the magic. Look it up and look into it.

Yes I get deals on Westin! Unfortunately the Swan & Dolphin were not available for my family size when we’re there.
