when to start 5 day pass??

[essmom]

I still can not decide when we should start this bonus pass. We get to Orlando on Saturday March 20 around 10 a.m. which will get us to hotel around 11.We leave on Friday around noon-we will hang at pool in morning. We are going to Discovery Cove on Sunday and then we will have Mon, Wed, Thursday to be at USO & IOA. we are going to Sw on Tues just to break it up.We could either start pass on Saturday and hope the crowds aren't too bad -we are going to Mardi Gras for sure that night but I thought we could always just buy the Mardi Gras ticket for $39.99 then we would have the pass thru Thursday. we had thought about starting it on Saturday and then go to Sw or Wet n wild on Thursday or hang at pool but someone said it gets so crowded around 11 a.m. when we will get there so i am totally confused of what to do!!Way too many decisions-anyone have any thoughts-sorry so long!!!

If you have not already purchased the 5-Day Pass, you may want to consider the AP. We purchased ours through AAA, with no blackouts, and includes the US discounts, for $119. We were having your same scheduling concerns, and now we don't have to worry about it.

I already bought the passes. Thanks though. We would not be able to use the pass again.

we are arriving on a saturday too (5 day tix) and decided to take it easy over the weekend and hit the parks (UO/IOA/SW) on the week days. Hopefully crowds will be little lighter.

We are in the same situation and we decided to go ahead and use our passes starting on Saturday even if we lose part of the day and go to Mardi Gras. We realize that the last day we can use the passes will be Wednesday but the kids really want to do Mardi Gras and we figure we will be more excited at the beginning of the week than the end of the week.

Hi Shannon,
Thanks I think we'll go ahead and start the passes on Saturday and then go to SW again or Wet and Wild on Thursday like I had originally planned. We are in B'ham and going spring break. When are you going?

 

[Shanlamb]

Wow, you are only an hour away from me! We are going for Spring Break also but we are driving down. We are leaving on Friday afternoon about 3:30 so we will be getting in very late but the kids are still pumped about getting to do something on Saturday. So it looks like we will both be at Mardi Gras on the 20th.
