Scott & Biff return - A September pre tr

[Hedy]

I'm in!

 

[Charleston Princess]

You had me at the resort changing! Since I changed a total of four times for our upcoming June trip, I can relate!

Your ADRs look great too!

Definitely here for all the trip-planning!

I am thinking of surprising Biff with a trip to Universal on that Wednesday. Do you think we will be able to do both parks in 1 day? IOA & US.

I don't know if it will be busy or not.

Thanks.

I went the last week of June and we were able to do both in one day. I'm sure it'll be pretty empty in September. We got to IOA at park opening and went on almost all of the rides well before noon.

Oh and I'd like to do a ptr, but have not gotten started. Trying to figure out where to begin.

 

[Disney Brat]

When we go we take two days. Mainly with the rides over at IOA, and just to see the sights. But I am pretty sure if you plan it well you could do both in one day. That was super of you to think of a surpirse for him!!

I suggest taking advice from Maria:

Let's start at the very beginning
A very good place to start​

 

[scottny]

I'm slow. What is IOA?
And I think you need to get Biff to join the fun over here on the dis boards!!

he won;t come on.
Islands of Adventure at US.

IOA = Universal's Islands of Adventure.
And Scott I think it's a cool idea to go somewhere else. I'm not sure you can do both in a day though. I've only done the original and it took us most of the day. Both times we went was in October.

Did u have the kids? we won't have any so pure commando.

We usually go in mid September and US and IOA is normally pretty quiet...but we still struggle to do both parks in one day.
I suppose it really depends on how many rides you plan to go on, if you go "commando" style then you probably could do both in one day but if Biff has never been to one/both of the parks then you might want to do a slower pace to take it all in.
Hope this helps.

I was thinking commando or getting that fastpass thing they have.

When we were there this past trip (Mom and I) we did US. We bought that buy one day and go as many times as you want for 7 days. So we thought we would go Friday and Sunday. Well we ended up going and doing both on Friday. No need to go on Sunday. Now this was in Feb., so I am not sure how it will be in Sept., but it can be done.
There is one show there that I will have to remember the name of. After it was over I said to my Mom...."That is 20min of my life that I will never get back"
I have never been before but there were really no wait for anything. So it was easy to get through it all.

I think I may do it. I checked a car service to take us and pick us up and it is not bad.

During our WDW trip in Sept 2007, DH and I took one day and went to Universal. The parks were not crowded at all especially in the AM. We were able to do most everything in Universal and Island of Adv. before closing time at 6:00pm. We did get there right at 9:00 when it opened. We also enjoyed a fabulous lunch at their signature restaurant Mythos.
We had a very nice time while we were there. After the parks closed we even enjoyed City Walk for a while and had dinner at Bubba Gump Shrimp. It was fun.
When we were leaving for the evening, my thoughts were, "yah, it was fun, but it's not Disney. I think it would be a wonderful surprise.

ok u convinced me.

I'm in!

welcome.

I think that is how many I changed.
thanks.
welcome.
I am going to check out your pre tr.

thanks. i think I am convinced.
start from the beginning when u thought of going. build it from there.

When we go we take two days. Mainly with the rides over at IOA, and just to see the sights. But I am pretty sure if you plan it well you could do both in one day. That was super of you to think of a surpirse for him!!

Biff will not do some of those rides like the looping roller coasters. I think all the others he will be fine on.
I figure at least he will see it.
Could do Sea World instead. I do not know.

Did u have the kids? we won't have any so pure commando.

No kids. It was pre-kids days! However, we totally took our time. We had a very casual long TS lunch and the park closed early that day due to Fright Nights.

 

[wirki]

We were going to have Mears take us over. But we got in to late to call and decided to take a cab.

Bad move. It was $35 one way
Mears is I think $32 round trip.

 

[WildernessBride]

Your ADRs look awesome!!! I am hungry just thinking about WDW food!!!! Especially since I am a lousy cook!!! Thanks for the advice on the Jack Russell!!! Love your idea about going to Universal, I am considering doing that as well this trip. Can't wait to hear more!!!

Thanks.

I would say, no, prolly not. IOA is in my opinion is better than US and will take most of the day to get through. You could pick out your must do's from each park and attack it that way. You must do Spider Man at IOA! It's the best!

 

[WildernessBride]

Ok, I have a kinda dumb question but where does everyone get those cute little Chip n Dales eating watermelon...they are too cute!!!!!!!!!

 

[earthfaries]

Tenative ADR's sound great...I can't believe you got the villa for such a good rate!

hope it works for you. all dogs are different.

[Tat2ddisneymom]

Why do you have to start this stuff when I'm away on business???

Anyway, I'm here, and I'm hoping to be included in your plans for the 12th. Gotta go catch up on both of your reports now!

 

[Tat2ddisneymom]

I am afraid I will be at beaches and Cream every night for a No Way Jose.

OH YEAH!! Me, too!!

sorry, next time I will be more considerate. I wanted you to come home to happiness, and what could be more happier than us meeting on the 12th.
I am thinking I might plan Boatwright's that night so we are over there or DTD then we can take the boat.

OH YEAH!! Me, too!!
Sounds like a lot for one day.

those sundaes are the best.
yeah but I think we can handle it. Just do what we can.
