Anyone else got a Disney Florida trip planned? Want to get excited together and share plans?

[PaintingTheFlowersRed]

We are off to DisneyWorld next year and I am already really excited about it. Anyone else? I'd love to compare notes on what you are doing to prepare. I'm starting to think about how to do a big surprise for the DC when we tell them we are going.

just got back from IOA. We were really lucky, we weren't planning on doing it this year but friends of ours we met a few days ago had bought 14 Disney tickets and 14 Universal passes and hadn't used the Universal ones at all so gave to us which has saved us hundreds of $! DD happy as did the red fish blue fish and cat in the hat rides and DS went on Spiderman which was good as last year he was too small.
Home for a swim in our pool then out to Kobe, my favourite

Might do Universal in a few days and do ET and the other little rides they like. Seems daft not to as have free tickets. Our friends wouldn't even accept any money for the tickets so will send them something nice when we get home.

groovee will look out for that next time.

Will have a look Groove

That's fab Mos. It'd be rude not to use them. What did DS think of Spider-Man? Are you going to take him on Transformers?

We did the Wizarding World of HP ride today. I was so impressed- ESP because DS wasn't big enough so we used the child swap room and went on a few times without queuing.

Have been to 2 supermarkets on IDrive this eve but can't find soya milk - didn't want to go to Walmart

pickled ds a little unsure about spiderman and dd aged 6 didn't like it. Will definitely try transformers now ds is tall enough. I loved all HP rides but not doing this time as little ones too small for most.

Want me to look in our local Wynn Dixie for soya milk for you?

Mos that's on our list to

Pickled were planning t~rex as well

Can eithrr of you ladies recommend particular area preferably not crowded as have chair to consider

Intresting not doing IoA dd dd doing with friend as ds far to small. She looking forward to Hp

My post from this morning has disappeared!

We didn't book a car because we had free transfers everywhere so won't be able to travel to get soya. Thanks though Mos. DS had his cereal dry this morning.

Groove I saw those lovely things toy were talking about. They looked so pretty in the wind. DD spent the last of her $ in the bear factory at TRex.

TRex was fab human.

Pickled I wish I'd bought a big one too as I got a small one and the next size up. May just have to have a trip there sometime.

Day next to the pool today. We fly back on Tuesday.
Will probably do another day at magic kingdom and a day at Hollywood studios. Think we'll give Epcot a miss until kids are older.
Also need to buy a new suitcase for all the plastic tack we've purchased

Nice morning at universal and now sitting by pool. Hopefully dinner at Thai restaurant in celebration tonight

Pickled sounds like fun been had

Mos liking idea sitting by pool

We went to the mall on IDrive this afternoon. Ralph Lauren was so cheap! Also got a new bag. Going back with so much.

Where should we go for dinner on IDrive tomorrow? I'm craving salad. Theme park food is killing me!
Hollywood Studios tomorrow. Can't decide whether to dash to Areosmith and Tower of Terror on park opening to get fast past and then run to Toy Story or head straight to Toy Story

pickled have you tried Premium Outlets just off the I4/Sr535? I love it, got some fabulous shirts/hoodies in Hilfiger yesterday at fabulous prices.

Have you tried the sizzler/ponderosa restaurants? They all have eat all you can salad bars. We've just eaten a lovely Thai in Celebration. Can't believe its been there 5 years and we didn't realise it!

We went to premium outlets- the one on vineyard? It was fab.

Will have a look at Itrolley map. Thanks Mos. I'm sure I've come across you before now. Are you from
Wales?

Sweet Tomatoes for a good salad!

Please- have a meal at Bahama Breeze. Our fave restaurant by a mile. Food was so reasonable and lovely.

We had a breakfast every morning at IHop because it was SO CHEAP and the plates were stacked massively- this meant that we didnt get too hungry in the day saving us money in the parks

Thanks for the suggestions

Gah had fallen off the thread. I'm back on it now for top tips for my imaginary holiday!

pickled no, not from Wales. Was in middle east for years but now in Sussex

Maybe I 'knew' you from one of the antenatal threads.

Kids nagged to do Hollywood studios on a red day. In the queue for toy story mania. 110 mins long and fast pass not until late this eve

Sod that for a laugh. No way would wait that long. Am so glad now didn't buy Disney tickets

Urg Pickled. It was 80 minutes when I was there. Took us 20 with fastpass.

It was (only) 45 in the end. Don't know why the put 110! We've seen lots of characters today

May try and book last minute for the Peter Pan firework cruise if there is availability. Do you think it's worth the $?
Salad plans failed. We've ordered pizza instead (10lbs heavier at least!)
