10!!! Have a great day! We have snow in the forecast again today (and Thursday). I hope the weather pattern changes so there is no snow here a week from Friday!

7:19am by Tanavin

9 !! Snow and ice predicted for tomorrow as well - the high today is 68 - crazy weather - you know your getting close when your dates are on the 10 day forecast

8:29am by johnDD

3! and hoping for no rain : )

8:48am by 321itsme

2! Really? Snow on Thursday?

9:45am by ocerezo

166. Good day to all liners. A promise of milder weather from tomorrow onward

10:49am by Jente

The Thursday snow is for NYC. The Orlando forecast looks like a high of 86F and partly cloudy. I hope I get that weather for my vacation!

10:56am by Tanavin

I realized it was not for Orlando after my post. Hope you get great weather on your trip

12:53pm by ocerezo

52 and 241! hope the weather's perfect for your trip!

What do y'all think about the interactive wands? Just listening to the Disney Dish where Jim Hill is talking about them.

2:25pm on 3/2/15 by popupcamper

I think they are a great idea, but I've never bought one because there always seems to be line of 3 or 4 people (at least) waiting to do each spell. Kinda takes the fun out of it. Next time I might buy one for the EE, while most people ruining FJ or Gring

3:29pm on 3/2/15 by Sivaro

*running to FJ and Gringotts, not ruining. (Freudian slip or something like that)

3:30pm on 3/2/15 by Sivaro

Love mine

5:49pm on 3/2/15 by Jente

They are fun but occasionally frustrating. Spells don't always work well for young children. Lines can get long perform a spell and it isn't quite as much fun after watching the 5 people in front of you cast the spell.

6:47pm on 3/2/15 by disneyday

My kids thought they were amazing. It was a great way to see all the detail outside the shopa

9:13pm on 3/2/15 by Danadanes

At first, my DS's wand wouldn't work. Had to have a scratched tip repaired. Then lines were long, but we had a great time with wands in DA at night.

6:23am by Libwalsh

We will probably buy one for the DDs to share.

8:53am by Tanavin

DS25 has one and enjoys it. Usually uses it whenever we happen to see a location without a line. The spell with the skeleton in Knockturn Alley is pretty fun.

1:45pm by susan2200

Does universal have a daily or weekly schedule which lists park hours/shows/parades/characters etc. similar to Disney? If so, are these available at the on-site hotels or at park entrance?

4:09pm on 3/2/15 by lawrence4144

Im sure we got one at entrance last time.

5:44pm on 3/2/15 by mumcalsop

At the hotel and park entrance just ask the concierge for one, possibly the front desk.

I am completely enjoying the relative lack of planning required for a Uni vacation. On Saturday one of my friends came over to me at a Bday party that my DD8 was attending looking for advice about about their 1st WDW trip

12:19pm on 3/2/15 by Tanavin

They will be there 3/14-21 staying at AKL. They had not made any ADRs or FPP reservations and had done no research. I gave them lots of advice, guidebook and website reservations and they now seem like they have planned enough

12:21pm on 3/2/15 by Tanavin

What surprised me is that I caught a case of Disney planning insomnia (it impacted every one of my WDW trips) that I have not experienced at all for my upcoming Uni/Discovery Cove/Sea World trip. I woke up in the middle of the night ...

12:22pm on 3/2/15 by Tanavin

...worrying that this did not have their MagicBands or luggage tags for the Magical Express. I have gotten over it but I was so surprised that even helping others plan a WDW trip would mess up my sleep.

12:24pm on 3/2/15 by Tanavin

Lol! I totally get what you mean Tanavin! It's hard when others don't plan like you think they need to. Our next trip we're doing both Uni and WDW and I'm trying to spend time planning for Uni too even though I don't know that I need to as much.

2:17pm on 3/2/15 by popupcamper

Tanavin I was helping a friend just last night. He needed help deciding where to stay for Food and Wine Festival. Now I want to hop over for a day on our trip.

6:50pm on 3/2/15 by johnDD

Tanavin, it happened to me not long ago when I saw a friend post pictures at WDW. Dreamt that we showed up the parks with no TP and no idea what was there or where anything was located. Uni is easier, but I still need to do a little planning - type A!!

Does UOR offer a shuttle to Wet 'n' Wild from either the theme parks or hotels?

2:15pm on 3/2/15 by Mr.Itty

From hotels definitely but it only runs a few times in morning and then a few timed later on in the day. Think it might be free with the combo ticketed.

2:26pm on 3/2/15 by mumcalsop

Found it its complimentary to hotel guests and you book with concierge.

3:43pm on 3/2/15 by mumcalsop

Seats are limited so be sure to reserve in advance if possible

5:43pm on 3/2/15 by disneyday

Thanks everyone!

9:50pm on 3/2/15 by Mr.Itty

Cancelled my RPR reservation this evening. I feel a little sad about it, but I'm also excited for Wdw.168.

12:09am on 3/2/15 by worldwidepayne

It's sad but at least you have your booking for WDW. Where are you staying WWP?

7:50am on 3/2/15 by Jente

Coronodo Springs.

9:21pm on 3/2/15 by worldwidepayne

What is the drive like from the Universal area to Kennedy Space Center? Based on mileage it should take about an hour but I don't know how bad Orlando traffic is going that direction in the morning or for the return trip.

9:13pm on 3/1/15 by Elaineh102

Not bad at all... It's pretty much interstate all the way. Not much uni traffic to deal with since it's right off the interstate.. Take 528 all the way and there you are!

10:37pm on 3/1/15 by daniellewinquist

Thanks for easing my concerns.

7:48pm on 3/2/15 by Elaineh102

There are a few tolls so if you don't have an e-pass make sure you bring a couple dollars in quarters!

8:04pm on 3/2/15 by daniellewinquist

We are staying at CBR in a courtyard family suite. Any recommendations for suites or buildings to request? Would it be better to upgrade to pool view?

7:51pm on 3/2/15 by Elaineh102

11 Happy Monday! We started packing yesterday. It was good that we started early since I learned that DD11 had outgrown some important clothing items. They have now been ordered and will arrive this week.

7:19am on 3/2/15 by Tanavin

Good morning Tanavin and all liners. 167 days to go

7:48am on 3/2/15 by Jente

Well I don't know how that happened!! Lol

7:49am on 3/2/15 by Jente

10!

10:05am on 3/2/15 by BossMare

10 and I can't do anything until the middle of the night before we leave lol

7:38pm on 3/2/15 by johnDD

Train up yet? Hasn't been all morning

9:11am on 3/2/15 by 301ali

9:31am on 3/2/15 by 301ali
