Pre-Trip Adventure is out there...June 2017

Hi again! I'm Amy if you all don't know me! Brian's resolve didn't last very long!! He has agreed to go back next June!!!! (For those of you who didn't read my report from this June, Brian (my hubby) was not happy with the behavior exhibited by our children, and swore he would never take them back!) Here we are on the last day of that June trip:

Logan is 13, Lily is 11, and Owen is 8.

This trip will be a bit different for us. Brian and I were just down in WDW this past weekend to book the free dining bounceback offer! We will be at Caribbean Beach from Monday, June 5-Saturday, June 17. We plan to drive down (14 hours) on Friday, June 2 and spend the night at my aunt's house in The Villages. We will sleep in on Saturday, then check in to our resort at Universal Studios! I'm not sure which resort yet, but it will be one of the deluxe ones where you get the unlimited express passes. I think we will probably stay at Royal Pacific, I just have to wait and see what kind of AAA discount I can get. I plan to get our tickets through Undercover Tourist, and they have a buy 2 day park to park passes and get a 3rd day free, so we will probably go into the parks Sat. afternoon. We will then spend all day Sunday at the parks, and Monday morning. I'm hoping to be done by early to mid afternoon on Monday, then head over to check in at CBR and relax for the evening. We also plan to go to Seaworld one day during the trip.

We got the water parks and more tickets again this year, so we will definitely be doing both water parks again. We also got the park hoppers. We've never had them with the kids before, so we shall see how it goes.

I just realized that they never offered to add Memory Maker to our reservation, so I guess I will have to call and add that at some point.

Not much else to tell at this point, but I'll be back many times before June with updates!!

I've got some reading to do in the meantime:

Very exciting developments!
I'd have gone with the suite too!

The Bon Voyage Breakfast is my dream character lineup! I can't wait to read about it!
I'm glad you said that about the suite! I was starting to second guess myself!:oops: But every time I stop and really think about it, I know we made the right decision.

I think I'm more excited about that breakfast than the kids are!:D

I NEED that "Best Day Ever" shirt!!! I LOVE IT!

All of your plans look great! We did one day at Uni/IOA a few weeks ago and had a blast! I think your family will really like Uni/IOA! :D

No plans for Volcano Bay? I'm not really thrilled with the location of it. I mean the highway is RIGHT there :bored:

We are so excited to check out Uni/IOA! No plans for Volcano Bay! I agree about the highway, and we had already planned to hit TL and BB which is more than enough water park time for me! Maybe next time!

I got one last new shirt for this trip! (or so I keep telling myself!:oops:)

Only 69 days!!! (66 until we leave) I am a little concerned though because the app and MDE show us as having 2 suites, I have 3 tickets, and everyone else has 2 tickets each. I'm afraid it will give me problems when I go to make FP+ next week. I called, and was assured that their computer only shows one room and one ticket for each person, but I may still call again because I will be really upset if I miss out on the Pandora FP+ because of this!!

I LOVE this shirt!!! Where did you find it?
I would be just like you and call again. Better safe than sorry where FP+ is concerned! Sending pixie dust your way so that all is well with your reservation and you are able to get your Pandora FP+.

I did call again! This time I called the MDE help desk and they fixed it so now we only have one room showing and one ticket for Brian and the kids. I still have two tickets showing, but she said the IT department had escalated it and it would be taken care of, but it wouldn't affect my FP+ at all. I certainly hope so!!

Thanks for the link to the shirt!
So glad they were able to fix most of your reservation issues. Good luck choosing your FP+.
