Having been very fortunate in winning the competition on the dibb :spin:, we now have confirmation of (most of!!) our intinerary, so here goes:

August 11th: Flights MAN - MCO
August 12th: Aquatica
August 13th: Discovery Cove
August 14th: Seaworld
August 15th: Busch Gardens
August 16th: Aquatica (and/or shopping :( )
August 17th: Seaworld
August 18th: More shopping :cry: and fly home

We have been promised a number of extra surprises (in addition to winning the prize!!) over the first four days, so it looks as if it will definitely be a trip to remember. Again, many thanks to everyone who has posted messages to us.

Notebook and pen at the ready to record the trip report ;)

You lucky thing, well done!

Only thing I would say is I don't think we'd want to do Aquatica on a saturday but to be honest, with such a jam packed itinery, I don't see where else you could put it!

Have a fab time!

I think the Saturday Aquatica will be an "optional" - if we are up early (bearing in mind we will be back late from BG on Friday) then we will probably go at 0800 just for the morning - if not, it's the dreaded shopping experience :(

Just received a letter today confirming the "Surprises". These are:

:grin:A Cabana at Aquatica
:grin:A Cabana at Discovery Cove and the photo package
:grin:Dine with Shamu at SW
:grin: Serengeti Safari at BG

I guess the really difficult decision now is whether to vist Aquatica again on the Saturday, or visit on the Monday morning before we fly home - decisions, decisions.........;)

10:25. Coincidentally, we've just got back from a few days in Cumbria - not quite as hot as Florida, but very enjoyable nonetheless.

Yes - we're still going at Easter as well as we got a really good deal with VH before they put up their prices.

Thanks again everyone for your good wishes. The pencil will have a ceremonial sharpening in a couple of days time :grin:

Thanks again everyone. Only downside is that the VA website won't allow us to check-in online as it says it has reached the maximum number they can check-in online - may be a slightly earlier start for us in the morning!!
