Walt Disney World: It's Not Just for Kids

I am now thisclose to being one month out from my Universal Orlando trip.  As such, I’m going to chat a bit about planning and share my to-do lists.


As the Wizarding World of Harry Potter (WWoHP)is now open, I have begun a more fleshed out touring plan.  I had been pretty settled on not going to Islands of Adventure (IOA) my first day.  But let’s get real-patience is not one of my virtues.  Besides, who sleeps on an Orlando vacation?  If you want to, that’s what Sinbad’s is for (I speak from personal experience).  I toyed with the idea of staying at an on-site Universal Orlando hotel for the night I’m scheduled to be at the Hyatt MCO, but I found that prices range from arms to legs.  I’m sticking with the Hyatt MCO for now.  Here’s the plan:

Thursday: Go to Logan after work.  Have dinner at Johnny Rockets.  Fly to MCO.  Land.  Check into the Hyatt.

Friday: Get ready to go around 6am.  Take taxi to Royal Pacific Resort (RPR) .  Check in, get keys for FOTL.  Be in line to enter IOA by 7:30.  Hit WWOHP.  Do more IOA.  Grab lunch at Pastamore (new!).  Head over to catch a few shows at US.  Head to RPR for Torch Lighting.  Grab dinner at the pool bar (new!)

Saturday:  Start at US for Mummy, MIB etc. Lunch at Finngans.  Head over to do some stuff at IOA (by which I mean Spiderman a zillion times).  Diner at Bice, possibly (new!).

Sunday:  Shopping day!  Go to Premium Outlets (and possibly Prime as well).  Take cab to DTD.  Have lunch at Paradiso 37 (new!).  Go up in Characters in Flight (new!).  Head home.  Eat at the Kitchen at HRH.

Monday:  IOA early.  Lunch at ?.  US in the evening.  Dinner at Tchoup Tchoup.

Tuesday:  Breakfast at Three Broomsticks.  A little IOA, a little US.  Cab to MCO to go home.  :(

To do list:

• Continue to check car rental rates (I’m pretty sure I’m just using cabs though.)
• Once vacation time is finalized check Hotwire for the Hyatt MCO.
• Cash out Opentable cheques. . Done! One $20 one for Tchoup Tchoup, another $20 one for Paradiso 37.
• Cash out at Sunshine Rewards. Done for the $40 I earned in June.
• Confirm plans
• Get singles from bank
• buy hooks for door hanger
• Print out coupons
