Suggestions for arrival day...

[soiabea]

6 days and counting...
I have been planning this trip for so long, hard to believe it is around the corner. As the day gets closer, I find myself second guessing my planned itinerary. Looking for some suggestions from all of you disney officiandos. Our flight gets into MCO 11:00 AM. I was hoping to use the arrival 1/2 day to explore Kennedy Space with my DH, DD9 and DS7. The more I read on the boards, I am beginning to think that will not allow us enough time.

QUERY
Should we do MGM or Typhoon Lagoon instead of KSC on arrival day? For the remainder of the week we will have a full day for MK, Epcot, AK and 2 days at Universal. had one full day planned for MGM which I am thinking of using to tour KSC.

What would you do??

Have you ever been to Seaworld? On my next trip in December we will also be arriving at 11:00 a.m. Our plan is to do a "room only" the first night so we will be heading to Seaworld the first day. Also, when you purchase a ticket at Seaworld you can get the next day free (to be used within 7 days). We will be going back to Seaworld for a second day during the week.

Just a thought.....I see you will be doing KSC and Universal, so you if you haven't already been to Seaworld, this might be an option for you. I have two boys (11 & 14) and they absolutely love Seaworld!

Good luck in your decision and have a wonderful trip!

I would go directly to one of the parks. MGM is fine. If KSC is a must see, I would decrease one day a US. That way you have one free day. We always have a free day included in our vacation. We never know how the week is going to pan out so we leave a day free just in case. This year we used our free day to go to Typhoon Lagoon and had a blast. We have also used our free day to hang by the pool or visit a park where we felt we didn't get enough time in. In your case, maybe going that extra day to US would be your choice. In my opinion, I would rather skip US rather than saying at the end of my vacation, "We should've spent another day at Epcot or MGM or I wish we could've gone on RockNRollercoaster again...."

Good luck and you'll have a great time whatever you decide.
