| Squeeze in BG Tampa? Going to WDW in 24 days..... DD13 and DH have just about talked me into squeezing in BG Tampa for a day. We have Platinum BG passes, so it wouldn't cost anything to get in. Current plans: 12/7 - leave on Friday morning and arrive in Orlando 12/8 - SeaWorld (also free admission) 12/9 - Check into Poly, Studios 12/10 - AK 12/11 - EP & MVMCP 12/12 - MK 12/13 - Drive to Port Canaveral 12/14 - Bahamas 12/15 - Castaway Cay 12/16 - Return to Port Canaveral and drive 10 hours home 12/17 - back to the real world Should we squeeze in BGT? If so, where? Was thinking that we could leave 12/6 pm and get to Savanah, then have 5 hours left to Orlando. Go to Sea World on 12/7. Then drive to Tampa on 12/8 and return to Orlando. Or, we could do BGT on 12/7 and SeaWorld on 12/16. Wouldn't get back until 12/17 and would have another night in hotel on 12/16. Or, we could do BGT on 12/7 and SeaWorld on 12/11, then go to MVMCP. We can always go back to WDW after the cruise and get a hotel on 12/16 and return on 12/17. Decisions, decisions....HELP! I've decided to be flexible and not get too upset with everyone changing MY plans. But, I'd also like to rework the schedule now and not wait until the last minute to get it in. BTW, season passes expire 10/30/08. I don't think we will be able to make it back down to BGT before the passes expire. Main reason we got Platinum passes was because of this trip...... TIA....

| I don't see how you can do Busch Gardens, unless you left really early on Friday and hit Busch Gardens then. I wouldn't anticipate Busch Gardens being very busy on 12/7, but after a 10 hour drive, you might feel loosey goosey! Can you leave on 12/6 or do 1/2 day of driving at least?

| Yeah, it's going to be tough. But, the platinum passes are paid for and I don't think we will make it back down to FL again before they expire 10/2008. If we go to BGT on 12/8, then we will leave on 12/6 and drive halfway. On 12/7 we can do Sea World since Orlando is closer than Tampa. We would then drive from Orlando to Tampa on 12/8 for BGT. Or, we could leave on 12/7 and drive down to Orlando and go to BGT on 12/8 and save Sea World until 12/16 after we get off the WONDER! And get back a day later. Of course, we have 7 day passes to WDW and should still have 2 days left after we get off the WONDER. Decisions, decisions.....

| I would drive halfway on 12/6 and stay overnight at a Motel 6. Then drive the rest of the way to Busch Gardens. If you want to do Busch Gardens after the cruise, you'll probably be driving 2 1/2 hours. I'd say do BGT first so you can wake yourselves up by riding the roller coasters!
