Swampnuts Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 We're going to DW for a week in March. I hope the place is a friggin' ghost town. I want to be like the Griswolds in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hat Trick Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 We're going late June and I'm hoping its really slow then, but I have my doubts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irish Posted February 20, 2009 Author Share Posted February 20, 2009 We're going late June and I'm hoping its really slow then, but I have my doubts. That's the same time I'm going down to Disney. Every year I go down with my family for 2 weeks and we always leave the last Saturday in June and stay for close to the 1st 2 weeks in July. When do you leave exactly and where are you staying? If you'd rather, PM me. It's been better in recent years in regard to crowds, however, it's still a mob scene. Going to the Magic Kingdom will get you anywhere between a 20-90 minute wait, especially for the best attractions. But I've basically walked onto some of the less appealing ones.

irish Posted February 20, 2009 Author Share Posted February 20, 2009 we are going in april. mickeys casa aint cheap. No kidding!! On top of that my son would love to swim with a dolphin and going to SeaWorld doesn't present a great opportunity of that happening. So, I've been seeing this commerical on TV for Discovery Cove. From what I've heard they limit their guests per day and you get your own Dolphin to swim with, along with a host of other very personalized activities. I might do it, however, it's close to $300 a head for the day. I can't imagine spending $1,200 just to take my wife and 2 kids there for 1 day.

Cunning Runt Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 (edited) I'll be in Orlando with the wife and kids Mar 28 - Apr 3. I genuinely did not want to go, but we take a vacation only every few years and my wife had promised my youngest we'd go on spring break when he was 5 like we did with my now 7yr old. I do hope it's much less busy than it was few years ago. Maybe there will be some deals to be had as well.

Yeah, my wife wants to go there desperately, but I just can't see dropping that kind of coin on that place. I'd love to meet up down there however, looking at your dates we'll miss each other by about 2 days. I'm not leaving until the Sat after the 25th on the 27th. I stayed at Coronado Springs many times and really liked it alot. My kids loved the main pool with the slide and the Pyramid with the waterfall. I also stayed at the Carribean Beach Resort in almost each of their places- Barbados, Trinadad North and South, and Martinique. I wish you were going a week later as it would've been perfect. As for Discovery Cove, I'll have to see what happens, what kind of deal they offer and maybe I'll just go with my son as my daughter is still only 4 and probably wouldn't enjoy it as much.

irish Posted February 20, 2009 Author Share Posted February 20, 2009 i think its every disney hotel I see, so you meant it as for your hotel stay not Park passes (like Hopper passes). Yeah, there's probably deals all over now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perchoutofwater Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 FYI the slowest weeks of the year at Disney World are the week before Thanksgiving and the week before Christmas. My family went the week before Thanksgiving, and between fast passes and just small lines, we didn't have to wait more than a total of 2 hours in lines over 4 days in the parks.
