going to Disney!!

Hi Candy, The only additional thing that I would add to what Isabel posted, is if you can park hop, do your best to find out what time the fireworks at EPCOT are. Make sure to get there early, and get a good seat. (I like sitting in between Spaceship Earth and the lake... as close to the lake as you can get. It is called Illuminations, and it is absolutely spectacular. We always like to hold off for a late dinner, go buy some food somewhere, and haul it out there, get our selves seated for the fireworks, and try to rest, cool off, and unwind for the evening. The Magic Kingdom will always be my favorite of all the parks too. My sister works for Disney, and we go quite frequently. It's a good inexpensive vacation for us, and the kids love to go. My vacation is next week, and while I would love to go down there, my car A/C is broken, and I don't think I could stand the heat for the drive down. Just too dang miserably hot down there already. Have a good time while your there!!! Susan

Thanks Susan - great idea! I love fireworks! I was worried about the heat but decided that I'm cold now all the time anyway so it probably won't bother me. But driving in the heat with no ac - now that would be misserable, even more so with kids in the car. I'll ride a coaster for you! Candy

WOW! you are cramming a lot in! You will love all the disney parks! They are so much fun! We go down to Orlando every year and pick a park to visit. We used to have season passes to Sea World when we lived down there. We loved it. It was great to take the young kids to but to be honest I don't know if it worth 2 days for 2 older children. It is like a big zoo with a few rides. You will enjoy it though. This past year, we decided to gorgo Disney and sea world and buy 7 day passes to Universal. (We plenned to be there 2 weeks prior to surgery) It was the absolute best time we ever had at a theme park. Even though I couldn't go on some of the rides due to my weight, We had so much fun. We went every single day and loved it! My kids had a blast, even though many of the rides are for older kids. (mine are 3 and 6) I liked Arabian's dinner show. I agree that I would skip the alligators and silver springs. Too far of a day drive for what it offers. I would rather go to a local water park. Just pick one. they are all great in Orlando. (but very crowded in the summer) Have fun and don't forget to take a day and just relax around the pool and enjoy each other!(not to mention your new body in a swimsuit) Have Fun!

Thanks Chandi! I would definately like to take a day to relax around the pool, but I doubt the girls will let me! I think we are going to one of the disney water parks one day - that should be a blast! After a week in Orlando we will be relaxing on the beach for 2-3 days - I figure I will definately need it!.
