Wow thats some first day u have planned, you have some great activities planned there, Universal will have Mardi Gras on Saturday nights that may interest you for night time entertainment, the basketball game should be good we really enjoyed our night there

[purple myra]

looks really good. a superb way to make use of the early rise on your first day!

[debs1505]

Looks good! Why would you have preferred a weekend for DC? Tickets are limited no matter what day of the week, so it is never 'packed'. :wavey:

Looks fab, how much is the Serengeti safari, sounds like fun :)

[pmac]

Looks great to me too.

Looks wonderful, you have some great stuff planned. I would try to include a Saturday evening at Universal for Mardi Gras, some good bands playing and the parade is worth seeing.

:wavey: We're there at the same time but our paths don't seem to cross.

[Mr Baggins]

Thanks for the feedback everyone. :)

We wanted to go to Discovery Cove on a weekend for that fact - to free up a week day for one of the other parks when it should be a little less busy. As you say - there's always a maximum at Discovery Cove so a weekend would've been ideal.

Just need to sort a few more tickets and our car hire and we're ready to roll. :cool2:

:wavey: Hi, the Safari, off the top of my head is $33.99 plus local tax. You get to hand feed a giraffe! :grin:

Can anyone give me information about the Serngeti Safari, maybe where I can get some info on it.

Thanks

[derynifan]

Wow! And I thought I packed a lot in! You will need a holiday to recover from that little lot.

Joking apart, I hope you're going to look after your 80 year old, as I don't know too many 80 year olds who would stand that sort of pace.

Hi if u go the official Busch Gardens site you will get all the info plus prices, the Safari is very good and not be confused with the safara in AK or Rhino Rally in BG, we do the guided adventure tour at $95 it includes the Safari FOTL access to the rides, reserved seating at shows, lunch,a guide and a card that gives u 20% off merchandise on the day, best value I've ever seen

I think you could be right!

Will definitely look after our 80 year old - although she generally has more energy than me! She won't be doing Universal so she'll have a couple of extra rest days.
