Well, I think I've talked the wife out of going to Panama for our 6th wedding anniversay trip (not too keen on getting my white @ss kidnapped, LOL) and we think we have it narrowed down to going to DisneyWorld and the Epcot Center instead.
Any advice? Does it really take a few days to see both places? Any nice resturants in Orlando to take the wife for our ann. dinner? (Sept 12th if anyone cares) thanks |

Get reservations for the wife at Cinderella's Castle. Yes, the restaraunt is hidden Inside the upper part of the castle. Very exclusive (for Disney) and a bit pricey ($100+ for two) but she will feel like a princess and the service is great... food better than average. If you work it our right you will be done with dinner just in time to walk out and see Tinkerbell "Fly" from the top of the castle to start the evenings fireworks.
Another good spot is Mexico, China, UK, or France at Epcot's World Showcase. Again, for the good places you will need to make your reservations at least a day or two in advance... perhaps when you book the trip. You will see the best fireworks you have ever seen at Epcot's World Showcase. You will need a minimum of three days. One day for Disney, and two days for Epcot Center (1 for Epcot proper and 1 for World Showcase). DO NOT wait in line for the TEST RUN ride at Epcot. go to the SINGLE RIDERS line and get on in 5 mins. or less. It will make no difference if you and your wife ride seperate cars. The ride is cool, but only last about 60-90 seconds and is not worth the 2-3 hour waits in line. If you decide to do MGM Studios or Animal Kingdom allow an extra day for each park. The Tower of Terror at MGM is incredible as is the Aerosmith Rockin' Rollercoaster. Animal Kingdon is very cool and wil get you bonus points with the wife if she is into animals. Also, remember if you stay in one of the Disney hotels you get into the parks early and you get free transportation between the parks, your hotel, and to downtown disney & pleasure island where there are lots of shops, food, and nightclubs. You also get a discount on the park-hopper tickets. You don't have to stay at the most expensive disney hotels either. We have stayed at the Corronado & the Port Orleans with excellent results. Clean rooms, good on site food, amazing pools, etc. all for about the price of a Hilton or Marriot. At less than $100/night it seems like a real bargain for all you get plus you get to stay in your vacation zone the entire time not messing with driving between parks, parking, etc. Best of luck, have a great time! |
