We're going to Disneyworld! (and universal)

NirvanaMan · 04-07-2007, 10:08 AM

I'll be in Orlando on business next week and will be hitting some of the parks in my free time. The lady will be joining me for the first few days of the trip.

I think we are going to do 1 day at Disney (so we can hit that new everest ride) and 2 at the universal parks. Then in the additional free time i have the following weekeneds, I may hit some of those parks again.

Any recommendations for while we are down there?

No. It's a business trip. It's against company policy.

Only 1 day at Disney and two at Universal???

Traitor!

But have fun any way you lucky dog, you!

Since you're going to Animal Kingdom to see the Everest ride:

I enjoyed the little tea shop there in Animal Kingdom that is on the trail toward Everest. Their chai latte was yummy. They also have a wide selection of loose teas to choose from.

I liked the Nemo musical, which is across the bridge from Everest. It's got a lot of puppetry in it though, so if that's not your thing you might skip it. Also, I think it's something like 40 minutes long, so if you are in a hurry...

Tusker House is a counter service place back near the entrance to the Kilimanjaro Safaris. They have a good deal on a rotisserie chicken meal.

Have a great time.

And since their service is a bit slow, that would be a good thing to do while waiting for a fastpass to mature.

The new tea place in China at EPCOT is entirely skippable, though.

Interesting. We will have to check that out.

Any recommendations on accomodations. We spring for the on-site hotel last time and we were not impressed. The bathroom was not cleaned the whole trip (including before we got there). Since we only go to the hotel to sleep, we might try off-property and less expensive.

THe reason we were thinking 2 days at universal was because we spent a week at DW a year ago...but the woman has never been to the universal park. We'll play it by ear. If we can do Universal in 1 day then so be it.

Where did you stay last time?

From what I hear, there's no way you can do Universal in one day.

We stayed at the Port Orleans French Quarter last time.
