Miracle Child,

Your question about DC prompted me to discuss with DH again. The boys also want to do this rather than Seaworld. DD was interested in the My Disney girl's princess tea party but I didn't really want to pay USD260+ for a mother and daughter session even though it is very exclusive interaction with Sleeping Beauty and reviews are wonderful. So now DH and I thought that perhaps we should just let her do that, so it's a mother and daughter bonding time for us while DH and the boys will do the Discovery Cove with dolphin swim. Guys bonding for them :).

These 2 activities are going to cost a bomb (USD1000 in total?) :yikes: Hopefully they are worth it :). But I'm still worrying about weather since we need to prebook a day for DC and what if it gets too cold that day???? :nailbite: Decisions decisions! :?

If you don't like animals, then maybe this can be your shopping day and your DH and DS can go do it! Hahaha

Miracle Child and hypergatak,

Thought i'll just update both of you. I just spoke to Disney reservation abt additional Magical Express tags. They said that for International visitors, they no longer send the ME tags. What we are suppose to do now is to give our luggage tags (given to us at checkin) to the ME counter at MCO and they will retrieve those bags for us. This seems to be a different procedure then what we experienced previously in 2007 when they sent us the ME tags. Oh well, we'll wait and see. If no tags come, we'll do as they suggest.

In case anyone is interested in going to Legoland Florida in the next 1 year, I found a good deal on the web. Buy one adult get one child free (normal price of child ticket is USD65). I saved USD130 for 2 child tickets! :rahrah: You will need to buy the ticket on the website before 31 Dec 2012 and ticket is valid for 1 year from date of purchase.

Yah, the tickets are really expensive plus the weather issue you mention...are the things that are holding me back :scratchhead: otherwise I think it is an interesting experience for DS. Haha....DS will not let me off for shopping :roll: maybe as a single child, he is very close to both DH and me and will want the whole family to do all activities together.

You are most welcome!

miracle child,

We have decided to take the whole family to Discovery Cove. DD says she wants to do the dolphin interaction too. so we are really looking forward to it now. I bought tickets at only USD189 pp (instead of USD229 pp) yesterday with an Amex discount. After I completed the purchase and when I read the promo page again, it seems to indicate that the promo is for US residents only. The strange thing is that when making my purchase, I need to indicate if I was a resident or International. I chose International and even gave an SG address and the purchase still went through. I have received confo of my CC charge. I was think of calling or emailing them to check if it is ok, but DH says never mind. Since we already receive the e-tics for DC, and Seaworld and Aquatica which came free with it. In the worst case, we top up the different at the gate since I never gave any false info. My receipt shows my SG address. :xedfingers:

Now that we have booked this, we are thinking of booking a cabana there for the day so that DD can get some rest mid day! :rahrah:
