gigi1313 and hannahouse ... I'm happy to be able to help you out!
Our day trip was great!
We left our house around 7:30 AM, dropped off DH, DS6, and DD4 at the Magic Kingdom,
then DS10, his best friend, and I got to the gates at IOA around 9:15 AM.
We headed straight for Hulk, got Express Passes, then headed to Spiderman and Dr. Doom.
The kids did Storm Force (I lose my breakfast on this one!), then our Express Passes were ready for Hulk.
After that, we headed to Bluto's and got another Express Pass.
We went on Dudley and then walked on Bluto's (doubled back and rode again - we were already soaked!).
The kids wanted play in Camp Jurassic, so they did that while I got Express Passes for Jurassic Park.
After they were done playing, we ate at Burger Digs
(to save $, you can get the burgers a la carte and share fries
and get the soda with no ice and ask for cups of ice!).
By then, our Express Passes were ready.
We walked over to Dungeons and rode Fire (longest wait of day - 45 minutes).
I had to bribe DS10 with a
Lego set to ride, but it was worth it - He loved it!
They really enjoyed the talking fountain ... what a hoot!
Then we went to Suess Landing.
Got Express Passes for One Fish ... and ate at Circus McGirkus (sp?).
Went on Cat in the Hat, kids played in If I Ran the Zoo (got totally soaked again!) while I rode Caro-Seuss-al.
Then our Express Passes were ready and we rode One Fish ...
Walked over to Hulk again - Waited 30 minutes, but they really wanted to ride again before we left.
Shopped a little (love that 20% discount with my Annual Pass!) and then left.
Great day overall.
Best tip - Use Express Passes as much as possible.
You can get one, then another after the first one expires, you've used your first one, or 2 hours has passed since you got the first one.
This can save a lot of time - Especially in the summer.
But start early - They run out when it's really busy.
Hope the maps can help you plan your trips better.
Have fun!
