Hi Sam I'd say change Ohanas to the wishes cruise or vice versa as they will pick up at the Poly making it easier, your DC day I really wouldn't plan a plan big dinner, at DC u get a great lunch plus snacks etc are all paid for y not try Cicis pizza cheap n cheerful, Dixie Stampede I'd swap with the SW luau much better show and meal no SW ticket needed, your Universal days are good but rather than Mytho's u could try Confisco's great food bit cheaper also rather than Finnegan's which by the way has has went down as a fun location as it gone more to food than bar I'd say Louie's so u don't spoil your appetite for Tchoup,just my thoughts also pastamore is good at citywalk for big and light meals plus the Sangria is delightful

[CBR600]

Taken on board Steve's advice - have swapped Chef Mickey brekkie to Ohana brekkie so we can Valet park there, so after the wishes cruise drops us back at the poly we can jump straight in the car and head off.
Have had to keep Crystal palace as we are only doing 1 MK day and DD really wants to eat there - figured we could just hop on the monorail after CP and head to the poly for the cruise?

Dropped the idea of dinner after DC - will get a take away if we need anything and have swapped Tony Romas for the shopping day.

Swapped around some of the dinners at Universal as suggested, not going for a big lunch on the Tchop chop day, will just get a snack so we really enjoy our dinner!

Never been to Mythos and desperate to give it a go - more for the theme/atmosphere than the food!

Shame about Finnigans going down hill - had a great time in there last year- a few cold guinesses and a bit of blues brothers playing outside it was great! They do awesome fish n chips though Iv been told?

Will the kids like Luau as much as the dixie Stampede? are you SURE you dont need a seaworld ticket to get in???

[highlander447]

Hi Sam u def do not need a ticket for SW with their Luau, finnegans food is still good so dont be put off its just went more restaurant than bar type in front as well as back and my son loves their fisn n chips, as for the kids enjoying Luau I reckon the answer is yes the foods a lot better, plus the shows better and the kids can do Luau dancing on stage if they want to join in

Looking good Sam.

It's very exciting.

Are you requesting a pick up from the Poly for your wishes cruise?

Ohhhh Michelle! I dont know! what is a ''pick up from the poly'' and do I need one ? :confused2

[Michelle]

It's just where you get your boat from Sam, we had to get our boat from the Grand Floridian that is why I was asking if you were requesting to get the boat from the Poly.:)

Ohhh! lol Well I have read that pick ups can be from the Poly, GF or the contemporary - I originally had chef Mickey down as the character brekkie to Valet park at the Contemporary thinking the boat usually goes from there - but Steve (Highlander) suggested I change it to the Poly as the boats normal pick up there!
TBH I would prefer pick up at the poly so we can do Ohana character brekkie - we have done Chef Mickey so would be fun to try something new :D

If they say we have to have pick up from GF then I will book the Alice character brekkie and Valet park there for the day!

[Michelle]

LOL's Sam, you have got it covered:thumbs-up

[CBR600]

Do you think the first bit of the holiday is too busy? I dont have much 'wiggle room' do I? Its that damn flippin cruise whats done it - trying to fit the 4 dayer in was bad enough but look what a mess the 7 dayer has done to my beautiful itinerary! lolololol ;)

[Michelle]

LOL's Sam...stop complaining about the 7 day cruise;) (you are making me jealous :pgig:) I would love to have that problem. I wouldn't worry too much, you can always have a break in the afternoons.

As well you know Mr Bennie there is a LOT to do in the Falklands - such as - shelter from the wind OR erm Sheltering from the wind, not forgetting .....sheltering from the wind :d:

And there is always ample oppertunity down here to spend your time perfecting the art of ....... standing down wind at all times! Sheesh those guins STINK! :d:

Your itinerary looks fab Gaz-lucky lucky you having a few days in NY, sure you dont want to swap them for some 'quality time' down here in Stanley? LOL :D

[Gaz]
