Well the list is quiet and I am surprsingly unmotivated about this trip at the moment - I think getting up at 5 am and getting home at 6 pm is strating to take its toll! So maybe this will get some posts going and motivate me at the same time!!!!
Originally Peter and John were going to go to NYC for a week but Peter is uncomfortable about travelling alone so they will stay in Orlando for the whole time. To be frank this has pissed Eloise off immensely!!! My friend from Delaware and her two daughers will be in WDW for a week overlapping with us so for that week Eli and I will spend the whole day with them and the boys will meet up with us for dinner and later. This will give them an opportunity to do a lot of non Disney things. Of course this means John doesn't get his NYC trip which was meant to be the equivelent of Eli's Tokyo trip so i am thinking in Oct 2011 when he is 13 we might have to do a four day weekend trip to Hong Kong.
We can not leave until the 16th December as I don't want John to miss out on his end of year 6 celebrations and we only have a little over four weeks as Peter is rstricted on what leave he can take at this time of the year. So here is what we have so far:
December:
16: Leave Syndey - not sure who we are flying yet.
16-25: Staying at Universal - you can not beat the front of the line passes. Whilst here we will also do NASA, Seaworld, Aquatica and do a couple of days at Disney parks too as well as Cirque. I am planning for Christmas lunch to be at one of the Universal Hotels. I am tossing up between which hotyels - we have already stayed at Hard Rock and there is a $700 price difference on the other two for the length of stay.
On the 26th we will check out and move over to the Port Orleans Riverside. On the 26th itself we will also head to Daytona where Peter will do the Richard Petty Experience on a real track - this is his Christmas present. My friend arrives on teh 28th and will stay until the 2nd January. Appreciating that these are going to be very busy days the "girls" as a collective will do one park each day and the boys will meet us for dinner and night time stuff. During the day they will do fun things such as visit NASA with a friend who works there, an air museum and I am trying to convince Peter that John should be allowed to do a ride along in a Tiger Moth or similiar.
January.
Up until the 8th which is when we will board our Disney Cruise (Western Iteniary). During this time it will be mostly Disney Parks although we will probably head out to do some shopping etc.
We return from the cruise on the 15th which is a Saturday so I guess teh kids and I will head to MK and Peter will get one last trip to Old Town. Our final full day is the 16th which we will spend at Epcot and we come home on the 17th. For these few days I think we will stay at an EPCOT resort.
Any comments?
