Any advice you can give is much appreciated.
Traveling to FL for a wedding in Port Canaveral in March. Our family has taken several trips to WDW but have never done US. DD10 and I are huge Harry Potter fans so we are going to shoot over to IOA while in FL. It will be just the two of us and we have a little flexibility in time. WWOHP is a must and is the only part of US/IOA that must be done.
Here's the situation: wedding on cruise ship on Saturday March 23. Will be off the ship by 3:00 and have no plans after. We need to get to Orlando from Port Canaveral; we need a hotel; and we need to get to the airport.
We can visit a park on Saturday night or not. We can fly home Sunday night or sometime Monday. We can stay just the one night or could stay two. Airfare is $100 cheeper if we stay the second night and come home Monday.
Here are my thoughts. I see that there is a buy two days get one free ticket that we could use to visit IOA on Saturday night and get the lay of the land and get started. We could then spend all of Sunday touring IOA. (How much time should we expect to spend at WWOHP if we want to do it right.) We could then spend half of Monday in a park as well. Or, we could just spend all of Saturday touring and fly home Monday morning. We could spend Saturday night and half of Sunday touring and fly home Sunday night. All in all, we have no idea how much time we need in the park(s).
Money is certainly a concern. As I said before, we need to get to Orlando, we need park tickets, a hotel room, transportation to and from the park, and transportation to the airport. Visiting WDW, we have never had to deal with this. We have always flown into MCO, used DME, stayed onsite, and used Disney transportation for everything. Top it off with the fact that I have never traveled like this without DH who normally gets us around.
We would appreciate any advice you could give. Thanks!
