First week is pretty relaxing but last week is manic,(but fun) lol, I feel able to do all this due to all the relaxation the first week, originally we was only doing 1 disney park which was Disney Studios, but ive come round to thinking ive got to see Magic Kingdom else it wont feel complete, we are booking tickets from link given from this site Park Tickets and having them delivered, im about to book the 2 day base today but want to know they are ok and trusted first, we already have our flexiticket for universal.
Thanks for your advice in advance.

Forgot to mention we want the disney tickets 2 day base delivered to our hotel which is double tree near universal studios, should i have them delivered for morning we get there? do they leave with reception? Silly me leaving the disney tickets till last. lol

Hi Cat

No problems with ordering your ticket from here. I've used them for several years. Can't help out with the delivery though as we always collect ours.
2 water parks in one day seems a bit much, but it looks like you have the flex ticket and they are both included so you want to get the best use from it.
Another thing could be to go to the water park on yyour last day, you can rent towels and have a nice shower before heading off to the airport.

Or the other option for the last day is that Seaworld usually give youu a second day free so you could revisit there for a few hours before heading to the airport.

I agree with the water park thing though, it's seems a bit unecessary to get dressed from one park and then drive and go and get in the water again.

As to is it too much, depends on who is going (if there is children etc) and the weather may stop some of the planned things happening, but that's what post it notes are for, you move them around on your planner to make sure you still do what you want.

Thanks, Well me reason for going to 2 water parks is that Wet and Wild is best for thrill rides but i really want to go on the dolphin plunge while im there. No we dont have kids, its just us 2 big kids, oh and i wouldnt plan on getting dressed either, thats what flip flops and boardshorts are for. lol.
Well im planning on univeral/IOA for 2 visits mixing it up, but if needs be I would move this around, good idea for last day tho, do hotels keep your luggage? so we can go off for few hours before going to airport?
This is a biggy so want to make most of it, im in a stage in my life now where im ready to have kids and get married and got decent job so finally able to afford things, so this is a no expense (or energy spared hol) lol, thanks again for your input. x

Don't know who you are flying with but if it is Virgin you can check your cases in at Dowwntown Disney in the morning. Other than that you may find the you have to leave them in the car (not sure if hotels will hold them.

I was thinking more of dried than dressed as having got into the car wet after rainstorms its not that comfortable and makes the seats wet. Of course if its sunny enough you wont need to worry.

If it's only the dolphin plunge then to be honest from what I've heard I wouldnt get too excited about it. The tunnel you go down apparently is covered and the 20 seconds or so that has the viewing window, means that as your eyes need time to adjust to the daylight again you may well miss the dolphins (if any happen to be around there at that time).

It is worth asking at the hotel if you can leave your cases. Haven't done it in Florida as we stay in villas but have done it elsewhere.
