Extending cheeky week - Anna Marie Island ?
 

So with our main holiday in the summer to France looking unlikely it looks like our cheeky week for October half term may be our main holiday - we currently have a fly drive booked with BA staying on I drive for a week - only planning to do Universal etc.

Now thinking we could add on a week and head to Anna Marie Island and hit Tampa parks while we are there

Does anyone have any thoughts/ recommendations ? My OH is concerned that there wont be enough to do with our DS (11 and 7)

Hi there, There is loads to do on the Island and in surrounding areas... I have a pdf which the owners of the apartment we always stay at sent to me with my confirmation of booking. It has masses of info if you'd like to send me a pm on here... I can't add the file on the forum so would need your email address to send direct. I understand you may feel uncomfortable doing it this way but I assure you I would not mis-use your email address :)

I've done exactly that. One week in Orlando then chill on Anna maria island. Would totally recommend it.

We have a week booked for Anna Maria in October after a WDW stay. Hoping it ca go ahead.

We went to Anna Maria island for the day and were a bit underwhelmed. Maybe we were at the wrong side or something? What is there to do there?

I love the underwhelmingness !

We have been to AMI a few times now, my children (now 16) have never been bored there and love the place. The longest we spent there was 14 nights, pure bliss! I’ve done a couple of trip reports if you wanted to search for them.

That's a coincidence; we are also going to WDW in October then off to the Island for 8 days.
Lets hope we both get there

My favourite place on Earth, go for it! I can recommend AMI Accommodations for finding somewhere to stay

We went in 2018. Its a nice place but we suffered red tide which ruined the experience
