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...! :)

I grew up watching the North Stars in Minnesota, then they moved to Dallas. :cry: But then we got the Wild, and life was good again! :joyfull:

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.

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.

You are going to spend a lot of money on transportation. Seaworld is the closest, Universal second and WDW third. (the parks at least). As stated Busch Gardens is on the west coast of the state and can be more then two hours depending on what time of day you head over there and back. Without taking a tour bus set up just to go to Busch, it will be very, very expensive. I don't know what part of the UK you are from, but, if it's the London area, believe me driving in central Florida will be no worse. Your added burden is that you have to remember that we drive on the other side of the road. (I like to think the right way) If you can screw up the courage you will save a lot of money by just renting a car. You will have more freedom and flexibility and may enjoy your trip a whole lot more just as soon as you get over the driving jitters.

So glad y'all are enjoying the new team!
We also have another venue here called Chaparral Ice. They have amateur hockey leagues and give hockey lessons, as well as skating and figure skating lessons, and public skating times and parties. :)

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?!

yes, ROL and AVATAR will sure make me return.

But our eyes are now on a cruise to the Caribbean.
So bad Disney doesnt have one with the stops we wanted. We might go to Royal Caribbean. :o

I'm wondering if it was a victim of Photoshop? Look close at the words in the middle of the last two sentences. What does everyone else think? I'm pretty sure @MOXOMUMD didn't photoshop it, so please don't read that meaning into my reply.

I didn't photoshop anything. That's ignorant. It was with the other vintage valentine just the was you see it.
