Taking first timers!!

[TraderAsh]

Okay so im taking my best friend (girl), my lovely grandmother who happens to be more apt to hopping on the hulk than I am, and possibly my cousin who is 13 to Universal in July... Ive been a few times but niether of them have ever been. We are staying at the Sheraton and if I think i can give up the money I will suprise them with a trip to see La Nouba the night we arrive. The schedule I have come up with is as follows...

-Leave FRIDAY at noon arrive at Orlando at 6:00pm... settle in our rooms, eat dinner at Starlight Grill in hotel and then immediately leave for DTD and Cirque Du Soliel
-SATURDAY we will go To Universal and have Lunch at Lambards Landing and dinner at Finnegans
-SUNDAY we will go to Islands and have lunch at Mythos and Dinner at Hard Rock or Margaritaville, after dinner my Grandmother and my Cousin will go up to the hotel room and My best friend and I will find something fun to do untill midnight or so.
-MONDAY we do "re-rides" etc. before driving home

How does this sound?? What should I plan on spening the most time at... what will they enjoy seeing for the first time the most... how can I make the experience as fun as possible for them?? I want this to be good!!! Help! Thanx again guys

Everything sounds good except for Friday. That seems really, really tight. What time is La Nouba? If you're planning on getting there at 6:00 AND checking in AND eating - I don't think you'll have enough time for La Nouba that night. Plus - what if you have car trouble or bad traffic?

My first suggestion would be to leave first thing Friday morning so you get there much earlier.

My next choice would be to change La Nouba to Sat. or Sun.

If that's not possible, then I'd say check in Friday night pronto and then immediately go to DD and eat there.

Sounds like you're really trying to make this a great trip for your family and friend! I know you'll have a wonderful time!
