Hi!
We are in the process of planning our second trip to Orlando this year! In Feb, we stayed at AKL and did just Disney. This time we are planning on October for 6 nights at the Marriott Grande Vista (timeshare presentation - we are actually interested!). Our Aunt and Uncle are coming with us (me, DH, ds 6, dd 4 and dd 2) and staying in the 2 bedroom villa. They want to do Universal/IOA as well as Disney. Since we have another trip with friends planned for June 2003 (CBR 4 nights/AKL 4 nights), we will get APs for Disney. Our AAA is offering 3 day Universal/IOA passes for the price of a 2 day ($90).
What is there to do there for the kids... especially under 40". My dd is 38" as of today!! Short 3 year old! Anyways... my other dd is 33". My son is 47.5". What will these short people be able to ride? Will it be worth it for them, or should I stay back at Disney with them and send my DH, Aunt and Uncle to Universal/IOA?
Thanks for any input... I know everything about Disneyworld from my last trip (8 months in planning), but nothing about these parks!
Is Express Pass like Fast Pass? Does it work the same?
Thanks... Any input on Grande Vista would be appreciated also!
