April / May Itinerary for Claire and I :D

[debs1505]

Looks pretty good!

The only comment I would make is your arrival day. I know you are young, but 10pm/11pm US time will be 3am/4am UK time and you will have been on the go a long time!!!

We just tend to eat at the hotel or get a take away the collapse about 9pm!

Also you first full day - getting to MK for opening and staying for Wishes - again you might feel the force of tiredness!! But then again, you are young!

Have a fab time! :wavey:

Good grief - dont know how my reply jumped above your thread!! One of the mods will prob be able to change it back around!! :blush:

Looks great - very action packed but also do-able seeing as you have no kids with you.

Only suggestion is why not eat at city walk after your day at IOA? cant see the point in spending the day at Universal to end up driving all the way back to Disneys broadwalk and then driving all the way back to the Marriott - why not eat at Mythos or Hard rock cafe or Bubba gumps? they are all good fun places, then you can stroll around city walk checking out the shops and street entertainment, or even take in a movie before heading back to your hotel :)

Hey Guys,

This is our first itinerary so be gentle with us :)

Before I start, I will just point out that Claire is 19 and I am 22. Just us... no parents... no brothers or sisters... no kids...

Tuesday 24th April: At exactly 10:45, log in to check if any better seats, if not, no worries. Leave work at 1pm and finalise everything ready for a 17:50 flight to Gatwick. Do Twilight Check-In then go to my mums for Tandoori Chicken and Tagliatelli pasta (my fave i always have wen i stay at my mums). Then try to sleep.

Wednesday 25th April: Head upto Gatwick about 8am for VS027 10:45 to Orlando. Pick up hire car with Dollar and let them offer me an upgrade. If my this point i have managed to pursuade my girlfriend to upgrade, hopefully we will be driving round in a Mustang or Convertable. Get to Marriott Orlando World Centre for about 5pm. Grab towel and laze in pool for a few hours. Then hit Downtown Disney for some grub. Get back around 10-11.

Thursday 26th April: Early start to get to Magic Kingdom for around 8:30am. Spend all day there but just the two of us so walk round in a lazy fashion. Then come the evening, special ADR which i cannot mention as Claire will be reading this. Watch Wishes then head back to hotel.

Friday 27th April: No need for early start. Recover from our first day at Typhoon Lagoon and hopefully start on a much needed tan :D Downtown disney for the evening.

Saturday 28th April: Islands of Adventure!! Can't wait, as last time i went to Orlando, I didnt get a chance to go here or US. Get there for opening and stay till we feel like leaving then hit Broadwalk.

Sunday 29th April: Donald's ADR breakfast at 8:20 in Animal Kingdom then spend the day in the park. Hopefully get back for around 3pm and laze around the pool again. Thinking of eating at the restaurant in this evening.

Monday 30th April: MGM Studios followed by Brown Derby Fantasmic Dinner package.

Tuesday 1st May: Panic the holiday is going so quickly then head out to Universal Studio's. Really wanted to go on the BTTF ride however read elsewhere its closing at the end of this month. How unlucky is that :( Hit Broadwalk at the end of the day for food.

Wednesday 2nd May: A day to recharge the batteries again at Blizzard Beach and another opportunity to get our tan's. Downtown Disney in evening

Thursday 3rd May: Epcot!! Soarin looks real cool and by this point, will really fancy a nice Pint of Beer in a British pub (well kind of British Pub). ADR Dinner at Garden Grill (not heard much about this one but we got carried away with booking).

Friday 4th May: Seaworld day. Thought about breakfast with Shamu but prob fully booked now. Pretty sure we will do Old Town tonight.

Saturday 5th May: Kennedy Space Station - Hopefully do the new shuttle launch. Just not sure whether to have lunch with an astranaut. Pretty cool experience I reckon. Then on the way back, go for a drive round and eat at an american diner. (like you see in the movies :)

Sunday 6th May: Claire's day... So not sure what we will be doing but im sure it will involve alot of shopping :s

Monday 7th May: Start packing to go home :( then head off to Wet'n Wild. Not sure about evening but maybe hotel again if good.

Tuesday 8th May: Either Magic Kingdom or Epcot again (maybe both). Suppost we treat this day as a goodbye Orlando :cry:

Wednesday 9th May: Check-in at Downtown Disney and then spend the day either by the pool or some last minute shopping (if last minute shopping, we won't check out luggage in at DTD). Then at 15:25, we board a plane and say Bye bye.........


I know its pretty intense with hardly any breaks but thats why I tried to spread the water parks around a bit and with the water parks we will spend most of the time on the lazy rivers (I love them!!)

[BigGrilla]

Sounds well balanced. Might even see you at Old Town on the 4th of May - even thought we have planned to go to Celebration, I just love the Sun On The Beach Bar.

Looks great!

How about spending the evening at CityWalk on one of your Universal park days rather than travelling to the Boardwalk? There are some good restaurants there too.

[Dougy_D]

City walk is what i meant lol.

*Amendment*

Both days at US and IOA will be followed by city walk (got confused with the names :D)

[Bob_and_Dawn]

Looks good.

We are there at the same time as you!
