My hubby is heartbroken that Big Thunder is going to be down this summer, but I would be heartbroken if Tower of Terror was down. Oh well, since you missed it that just means one more reason to go back right?!

That's how I look at Disney, any excuse is a good excuse. I'm so not used to this computer. Sorry for the poor text the next week.

Thanks for that! its our first time at Rosen Inn and only my 2nd WDW visit, first being in 2008 stayed in a villa out near kissamee (cant spell that)

we went against getting a car because i don't drive and my other half is nervous about driving over there. (we are in the UK)

SO EXCITED!

i am going May 23rd for 3 weeks (coming back June 15th) any more tips?

i think we are going to give Wet N Wild a miss as well as legoland, but definately doing Busch, Seaworld & Universal...

If you aren't renting a car how are getting to Sea World, Universal, and Busch Gardens? Taking a tour, uber, taxi, or hiring a driver? I haven't been to any of those three recently but they were fun when I was there. What will be your main mode of transportation? Maybe after you are there a few days your other half might feel more comfortable driving.

I'm also unfamiliar with the place you are staying. Is a place in which you will have a kitchen? Are you planning to make meals? If so getting some groceries without a car might be tough. You might want to look into a grocery delivery service or having Amazon deliver some stuff. I have never done this but others might have.

No need to apologize, it is fun to hear from you. And if you can't post we will assume you are just caught up relaxing and having fun!

I'm pretty sure we are closest to seaworld of all parks, probably shuttles there and a taxi or uber back.

probably going to be taking taxi's but we are planning to eat out every evening around i-drive / disney springs. only wanting to go wal mart for drinks and snacks so we will probably take a taxi and stock up for the 3 weeks on dew and sweets.

Sounds like you have a plan. It would be expensive though to take a taxi to Busch Gardens though as it is 2 hours away in Tampa. You might want to look into a driver service or a tour (Grayline might do one) for that if you really want to go.

I saw it was on and thought about watching. We are watching the NHL All Stars Skills contest though. It is fun to see the hockey players having fun with the short skills contests.

WDW is so educational yet fun! (Mostly fun, and let's not forget delicious food too!)

Nope, definitely not forgettin' fun AND food...!!!

 

[ajrwdwgirl]

@DarthMileZ you might want to check this out if you are planning on going to Busch Gardens. Looks like it is run through Mears (the company WDW uses for Magical Express). https://secure.mearstransportation.com/MearsExpress/BuschGardens.asp

I was just thinking about the Biergarten today. We don't have it planned on our trip this summer since we did it in November. That plan might have to change though, it is a favorite.

We have the Texas Stars of the AHL here that play just down the road. They're the top affiliate of the Dallas Stars.
Have only been to one of their games, and it was fun. But, having only ever lived in the south/southwest and west, we weren't raised on it, so we're just not big fans.
Glad you enjoyed the contest, though...!

Yep, when you mentioned fun and food, that was the first place I thought of...!
