Hi there, we're going 18th April for 2 weeks. Both my partner and I have been pn 4 occasions, twice together and twice with family/friends. This will be the first time with our children!! Eeek!


There is;

Me, Emma, 29(turn 30 before we go)
DP, Darren, 39, a big #### lump about things
DS, Ewan, 10. A bit apprehensive about scary rides.
Ds, JD, 7, inclined to copy older brother but a bit more likely to "have a go"
DD, Millie, 19 months, mental!


We're staying at my Dads place in Deltona which is about 15 mins north of Sanford, so we're not right in the heart of things but its not too bad a drive to I-drive.

Fri 18th

Land around 17:15, collect car(dodge charger, hopefully), drive to house, picking up supplies on the way. Depending on how we feel, maybe a dip in the pool!

Sat 19th

Up very early to leave house by 07:00. Stop for Mcds breakfast then drive to busch gardens. Spend the day then head to Tropicana field for 19:00 to watch the baseball, go white sox! Drive home. This is a pretty full on day but wont be changed as we're flying out a day earlier to see DP team. We have seen Tampa play 4 times and each time they have played my team, Redsox. He supports the Whitesox but the sunday game is a day game so we wouldn't be able to do busch gardens and we are not driving all that way twice!!

Sun 20th

Lie in, as late night, big food shop, pool, bbq.

Mon 21st

This day is up for debate. We plan on trying to squeeze both universal parks into one very long day!! Feedback please!!

Tues 22nd

If you like water parks I would give Aquatica a full day, if it lives up to the dream then it's going to be worth 6 hours!

You've kept a couple of days free but doubled up on a couple as well. Park hopping isnt my fav way to spend a day and with a 19month old I would do one park a day and go at a slower pace throught them but have less actual rest days.

You have been 4 times before though so you know the score!

:grin:

I agree with Jodie. I've been once before and off again soon. I wouldn't do more than one park in a day personally, as I'd feel I was rushing. If I'm at a park for the whole day, I feel more relaxed and know that I will probably do everything I want to in that park at a pace to suit me. But, of course, everyone is different - as long as you're doing what suits you, then go for it! Have fun.
