167.8 hours to go.... But who's counting!

Jaxum · 05-10-2009, 01:52 PM

Oh yea, me!
My work schedule has made me a very lucky person. I have to be at a client site an hour outside of Orlando from May 26th to the 29th with a non travel week just before it. Which means, I get to spend 8 days in Walt Disney World before heading over to the site!
The last time I was in the parks was 12 years ago, and that was for 2 days in the Magic Kingdom. No time for other parks. The trip before that was 1986! EPCOT was only open for a few years, and was a place my family loved to spend our time.
I will say though, I am in Disneyland anywhere from 3 to 5 times a year, and since I haven't been to WDW in over a decade, I do expect a major overload. I'm also used to getting from one park to another in a matter of minutes. No so here. But since I'm going solo, there will be no rush... Yea right...
I also just found out that the first Star Wars weekend is going on while I am there! So lots of...

This is going to be a great trip!
Can't wait for the countdown to reach 0!

It's going to take you 8 days to see all the new things!!! You're going to have the best time!

Going solo is awesome, I did it for 7 days, a piece of advice though, start out slow, and use a touring plan. Have a great trip!

Oh I bet your soo excited! Especially since a few days @ the hotel will probably be paid for by your work.

I hope you have a great time! You've got plenty of time to explore. With so many days to fill, definitely pace yourself.
Enjoy!!

16 minutes till the flight takes off. This is going to be a long 4 hours and someodd minutes! But it is a short time to wait to enjoy 8 days in the parks.
