Pre-Trip Plans...Were going 3/1/08 to 3/6/08

Well pretty soon my family and I will be off to Disney again and we are all so excited...It has been about 2 years since we have been there...The family members going are Myself (23), my Mom (48), my StepDad (58), and my Brother (9)...We leave this Saturday, early in the morning...ugh..lol...When we arrive in Orlando we are taking the Disney Bus Line to our Hotel...We are staying in the Boardwalk Villas...The last time we went we stayed there also and we loved it...There was so much to do on the Boardwalk...And were from New Jersey so it truly reminded us of home and going on the Boardwalk in the summer...Anyways after we get settled in and things we're probably just going to hang out by the pool and stuff because later on that night we have the Pirates and Princess' Party. This is the first time we are going to this. Does anyone have any advice as like what time to get there and what exactly happens. We don't know much about it. Our travel agent/cousin/disney fanatic told us we had to go...At the start of Day 2 we hit the ground running...lol...This is our day at MGM (Hollywood/Disney Studios.) We are also going to see Fantasmic and having Dinner at Mama Melrose's...The next day is Animal Kingdom, this is the first time we are really going here. Unfortunately the last time we went my brother got very ill and the day we went to Animal Kingdom it was 100 degrees and it was just a bad dall all around. So this time we intend on having an amazing time...Day 4 is Epcot. When I was younger I didn't like going to Epcot, but it grew on me and now I can't wait to go on Soarin' and Test Track...Then at night we are going to the Hoop-Dee-Doo-Revue, which I am soooo excited about. We have gone to this every year we have gone to WDW and have loved it every time...Our last day we are going to Universal Stuidos, which I hope will be a blast. I'm still very disappointed to hear that the Back To The Future Ride is gone. That was easily my favorite ride hands down. Then on our last morning there we just plan to take it easy and pack up to go home...Gosh Im already upset thinking about leaving and I haven't even gotten there yet...lol...Anyways, I was just wondering if anyone had any advice on the MUST GO ON rides. I just really want this trip to be amazing for my brother because he had such a miserable time during our last trip to WDW. Thanks for reading!!!!

Hi Jenn

I'm very disappointed about Back to the Future too - hands down, it was my favourite part of our Disney / Orlando trips!!! So sad its gone!

In terms of must do rides... the only ones that definitely stick in my mind are the Mummy, Hulk and Spiderman. There are loads of rides at Disney I LOVE, but I just love these 3 at Universal / Islands of Adventure. I suppose it could be because the last time we went to Florida was 2004, and we rode those rides for the first time during that trip - brilliant memories for us!

Joo xxx

Thanks for some of the great suggestions...I will probably go on them but the nine year old going with us is a tad bit of a chicken...lol...but I'm sure once I get him on the rides he will be fine...I already told him there was no way he is getting out of JAWS...lol
