Decisions, decisions
Planning this trip to Orlando is becoming an all-consuming obsession. This is a holiday like no other. This is taking a military level of precision. The problem is there is so much to do. I'd like to goto the Disney parks (Magic Kingodm, Epcot, Animal Kingdom and MGM-Studios), plus Universal and Islands of Adventure. Then there's Seaworld and the Kennedy Space Centre, plus at least one waterpark.
That gives 9 places to go to. And 12 days to do it in. The worry is that it'll be too much and extremely tiring and that 3 "rest" (i.e. shopping) days won't be enough. We'll have to be up quite early each day to get to the parks, and then we'll be out quite late each day as well. This will not leave much time for Joe and Jess to play in the pool or go shopping or whatever.
But on the other hand, it seems silly to go all that way and then not do something. I suppose if we miss anything it'll be Universal and Islands of Adventure. But they look really good and I'm sure we'd really enjoy them. But then it would give us 2 free days which we could spend doing the Disney parks a bit more thoroughly, and that is the main reason for going.
Oh, it's complicated and I don't know what to do. Do a bit of everything and miss a lot, or miss a couple of parks altogether and do the rest more thoroughly.
I have made a couple of decisions though: One is to book a great big 4x4 as a hire car. It's a bit pricey but given we've got a very long run down from Atlanta it's worth the extra for the space. The second decision is one we're keeping secret from the kiddies and that's to go on a helicopter ride. But that goes over Universal and if we're not going then it'd probably make me annoyed that it looks really good or something. Maybe I should cough up for a more expensive ride if we miss Universal that goes over Disney, given that I'd be saving money on Universal tickets anyway.
It'd be a lot simpler if we just went to a crappy Spanish beach like most people.
