We had a great time
President Weekend trip - 2/15- 2/20
Just DS12 and me for a long weekend get away. We did <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com /><st1:country-region w:st=US</st1:country-region>/IOA/ and BG. We were on the coaster tour.. LOL

We arrive late on Wednesday nighin <st1:City w:st="on">Tampa</st1:City>, rented a car and drove to <st1:City w:st="on"><ST1Orlando. </ST1</st1:City>We stayed at the Best Western. It was walking distance to US but with a free shuttle why bother
Arrived Thursday at IOA and were the first in line. Talked with some great people and then the gates opened and we ran to HULK.. What a great coaster
we loved it smooth ride and lots of turns and I loved the way it came out of the shoot.. We rode Hulk 4 times, then off to dueling dragons. I loved Ice and Eric love Fire. We rode front row in both coasters twice then back row twice. Super!!
We then more leisurely walked to Spiderman and Doctor Doom. Loved spiderman!! After that, we walked around the park. Enjoying the theming, then hopped to US. There we rode Mummy, Men in Black, back to the future. We ate lunch at Intl food and film. Then onto Twister, Earthquake T2 and Shrek. The park closed at 6 pm, so we had a full day.

Friday, we wanted to make sure that we did the rides we had missed. Eric was the first guy into the park, (IOA) ran to Hulk but it was not working so we did Doctor Doom, and Spiderman and then Hulk was working. We rode the Hulk 3 times, then moved on as the line was building. We did Popeye water rapids twice, the Jurassic park 2 times. We spent time in the discovery center and took pictures.Rode dueling dragons 2 more times and Lunch was Circus McGurkus we had the chicken ceaser salad plus cookies .. YUMMY!! . We then hopped off to Cat in the Hat, Sinbad and Poseidon adventure. After that we hopped and went to US. At US, we went to Mummy, Beetle Juice, Blues Brothers, Jaws, Men In Black, Animal Planet and Fear Factor. We ended our day with the T2 and Horror makeup show.

Saturday, we meet some other DISers for breakfast and got to the park late..It was really crowded for Mardi Gras. We did the Mummy 2 times, jimmy neutron, Men in black and Back to the future plus ET at US. It was so crowded that we hopped to IOA. We rode HULK, Spiderman, Doctor Doom and dueling dragons. Then ate at Cirus McGurkus and rode Hulk until the park closed..

Sunday we went to <ST1<st1
laceName w:st="on">Busch</st1laceName> <st1laceType w:st="on">Gardens</st1laceType></ST1lace> and rode Sheikra 12 times. Six times in the am and 6 times to close the park.. We also rode Kumba, and Montu 4 times each, and saw the Pirate show, KaTonga , rode the train and the skyride, saw the animals and took a few spins on Gwazi too.
Overall, we were very lucky that we didnt have massive crowds and we got to ride out coasters over and over again. It was a great trip.

Then onto Cedar Point for more coasters for Mothers day...
