What are the park hours during that time - We will be there a Friday through a Monday night. It will be warm right? And what is down for refurbishment? As long as it is not the Hulk or Spiderman it will be fine! Also, how about crowds? What do you think DM?

Well, you already know what the park hours will be, so I dont need to help you there.

As for "warm", it'll be warm to you. It might be chilly/cool to the locals, though.

Ripsaw will be down for refurb, nothing else, so you won't have to worry there.

Crowds will be moderate: nothing more than a 20-30 minute average wait. Higher on Mardi Gras days, though. Speaking of which, dont forget to utilize the little jester's viewing area.

I told him about Mardi Gras and he got excited and asked about how you got the beads!! I told kids (including ours) were going to be there and it is a FAMILY Mardi Gras. Men! [/B][/QUOTE]

I share his pain.

Thanks DM - Are you postive Ripsaw will be down? This is a bummer because last year DS didn't get to ride and this year DD is just 44 inches. Oh well, there will plenty of other things to do!

Prince Eric - Too funny!

Congrats! I am so glad you are going to be able to go. I know you had some challenges, but worked them all out.

 

[TigerLilly's Mom]

Thanks Spidey - I am so excited, I am going to start listening to my IOA cd.

We really, really, need some warm weather and sunshine! In NH today the wind chill was 11 below zero and a local school's fire alarm went off. 8 children were sent to the hospital with possible hypothermia from being outside for fifteen minutes with no coats! Last week our high temps didn't even get into the double digits! I can't wait for some Florida weather!!

 

[Prince Eric1]

TMom, I know how you feel. In N.Y. its been horrible. The highs for today and the next few are going to be 3 degrees with lows of 10 below. Thats not including the windchill. I feel kind of stupid going to Florida in August when it will be warm here anyway, feel like i should have saved the trip for winter.

It is currently closed. I have to train a Ripsaw person in my area next week.

Price Eric -
We were at Universal last August and thought it was great. I'm a little nervous about Feb. , I'm thinking it won't be warm enough to swim. So either way, you have some pitfalls. When it was just Hubby and I in Nov., it was AWESOME. We left chilly NH, and arrived in Florida - It was about 78 degrees. That is a GREAT feeling!!

What a bummer about Ripsaw. DM - how do train someone to work in your area, but in another area? Did that make sense? LOL

We're going!!!! Shhhh, don't tell DS, it is a secret. He's got an exam on Monday afternoon and then we're heading out. Flight leaves at 8:30, we get in at about 11:00. We got HRH deluxe for $139. I hope DD and I can keep this a secret. Only bad thing is that we come back on Wednesday night. Oh well, better than nothing.

 

[TigerLilly's Mom]

That's great Damo!! What an awesome price for a deluxe room. Was that an AP rate? Have fun and don't forget to do a trip report!

 

[damo]

That was the AP rate for a Queen/Queen poolview but I think they upgraded us because we are Loews First Gold. Or maybe she just liked me I was trying to get RPH for $99 but it was available this morning and then gone by this afternoon.

Anyway, it is supposed to be nice and warm for those days. It didn't look like we were going to get to go since there were no available seats using our Aeroplan points. However, there is this deal that you can get seats even if there is no space if you use double the number of points. DH said to go ahead and so I did! I guess the fact that he gets to go on two trips in February and I get none all winter made him feel guilty

I can't wait to see the look on DS's face as we drive up to the airport. We're going to have a MIBfest!

I haven't switched areas/locations yet. Very soon, though.
