What do you think?

[GrahamC]

I think you need to prioritise your list as you will never get that lot done in one trip. If you did a third of it you would have done well.

There are also lots of what I would term second level attractions like some of the crazy golf courses that you have not even listed.

Wow, what a holiday that would be!!!

Start with the number of days you are staying, add the parks, leaving at least a day in between, then add the less foot weary trips to the gaps.....then do the same for the next one [msnwink] As you have at least two long holidays there. When you are finished, I'm sure people here could fill a third

Happy planning

The timings of seasons my cut your list down naturally.

Obviously Christmas is set but the celebrations start from end of November after Thanksgiving so some of them will be available, baseball season is around Feb-Oct and basketball from Oct-March, so unless there are pre season/end of season friendlies may not be possible to do both.

You say your trip is many years away so this is obviously a wish list but the beauty of Orlando is as well as the old favourites there ar enew things added all the time. For instance in 2008 Sea World are planning to open their new park (started already) which will be a cross between Typhoon Lagoon and Discovery Cove, which sounds wonderful.

Things close as well, on our first trip to Orlando we enjoyed Disneys Discovery Island, next year it was closed and then River Country water park closed before we had a chance to venture there.

There are hundreds more things we could add to your list but I think you will need to scale back rather than expand to get the most out of your holiday. Even better if you plan 2 trips on successive years but spread them right, for instance, September 1 year and then June the next you could buy annual passes to the major parks and not have to worry about the cost of them the second time.

Can anyone tell me if the annual passes are based on calendar years or the date of purchase? We have certainly underestimated how often we would visit the parks over the last 3 years and we would have saved a fortune by buying annual passes.

They are based on the day you buy them.
They run for 366 days and run out the day after you bought them a year later.

We're going to get some APs when we go over in 2 weeks which will mean no money to pay out for tickets for our next visit in Dec/Jan. [clap]

It also gives us the option of a trip next April/May if we find cheap flights.

I love Annual Passes as you don't get the feeling of wasting a day if you pop into a park and decide after a couple of hours it's too hot/too busy...other perks as well such as free parking and discounts of course.

As for the list, that's a lot of ativities to take in.
Someone pointed out prioritising it, I would do that and then have a flexible plan. If you need a rest day then take one, people won't enjoy it if they are dog tired and the experience won't be as good.
Think quality rather than quantity...

Another thing to do is not to think you have 'missed out' if you don't manage to do something, just plan another trip to take in the things you didn't manage to do; believe me there will be many....

[G Lazell]

That list made me tired just reading it [msnscared]

It's fine to plan to do lots of things so long as you don't get too disappointed when you can't fit it all in. It is supposed to be a holiday after all [msnwink]

We have been quite a few times now but still haven't made it to the beach. Oh well theres always next time[clap]

Gosh that is a list. One of the things we enjoy is having some 'down time' on our holiday. As has already been said prioritise the 'must do's' from the 'would like to do's', then you won't be getting stressed that you are going to miss things out[msnsmile]

[Ray&Sarah]

Wow thats a list and a half, I need a holiday after reading it.[msnwink][msnsmile2]

Have fun, sounds as though you will have plenty to do.[msnsmile]

[bouncey]

The whole list is about what good attractions are available, so we can pick and choose what we want to do reflecting the mood we are in that day. As we have been to most of these (exept the christmas events) we are happy to do only what we feel like.

We are going to be there for a month.[:P]

[eastcoastbranch]

Great list, what about adding Celebration if it`s Christmas time you are going. You can drive around and look at the houses all done up for Christmas as well as being at the Market Place when they turn on the snow.
