We Need your Help with Relatives Trip

dcmax · 11 Jul 05, 06:33 PM

The Cast will be Jackies Mum and Dad (old timers- well 60ish), Jackies sister and DH and their three children 13,11 and 6...

They only have a week to experience Disney, SW and US before a cruise but we want them to experience the best of Orlando

What would you consider your top ten tips and must do's..

Thanks

(I know if we made suggestions it would end up being disney commando style)

Which cruise line?
Where are they cruising too? which stops ?
How active are they?

We have cruise in the med, Caribbean, and part of a world cruise fron Hong Kong to Mumbai ( Bombay)
Whoops sorry should have read the post correctly!
But it was on the Non Florida trip planning board !

If I only had a week, these are some of the things I absolutely wouldn't want to miss:

MK - Wishes & Spectromagic
Epcot - Illuminations
Seaworld - Shamu show (I prefer the evening one)
US & IOA
A couple of shopping malls
Maybe Discovery Cove if budget allowed

I don't envy you the choices but whatever they do they are bound to have an amazing time

Hi,

Sounds like fun...

I think, in order for everyone to benefit, I would consider splitting up and regrouping - I would assume that the the old timers and 6 yo would love MK but 11 and 13... would rather be at IOA!

A day in Seaworld should keep everyone happy

A half day at a water park so that the older ones can recharge and the younger ones can carry on the fun. I would combine this with an early morning AK - you are really close to BB there anyway.

A morning shopping and a late afternoon/evening at Epcot for ride favourites and fireworks

A basketball game one evening - something different to do and as there will be so many of you, you can pick opposing sides to support.

An afternoon shopping at Downtown for the older ones and in Disney Quest for the younger ones. I would consider combining with an early morning at MGM

An evening at Cirque if budget will accomodate.

Group mini golf - a must!

ooohhh dear sounds like I would have them doing it commando style as well...
Good luck!

Always the best way, If we can avoid crowds on christmas day and the following week theres something to be said for major planning...

But then again we have the major advantages of being just the two of us...
