Originally Posted By davewasbaloo That's better than the other kind of commando ;-) I think the plan on the 28th is for Sarah and the kids to hang with some of the UKFAN posse. Those that really want to hit the park hard, we will be meeting up outside and trying to do as much as we can possibly fit in with a recoup potential at Walt's.
Originally Posted By davewasbaloo That is the hope, need to finalise hours and discussion with Lulu, but it is likely to be Rope Drop with the dash to either Big Thunder or Peter Pan (dependent on Lulu's preference) and an attempt to ensure we hit - Phantom Manor, Big Thunder, Indy, Adventure Isle, Aladdin's Walk Through, PotC, IASW, Alice's Curious Labrynth, Storybookland, the Castle, The Nautilus, Space Mountain, the Lion King, Tarzan, the train, and the 2 Main Street Arcades as well as Walt's and the Parade. Also, if Lulu is interested in the differences with language we could look at the dark rides and Star Tours, but they are all identical to the California versions more or less.
Originally Posted By LuLu What time is rope drop? Then I'll have to check the train schedule. I personally don't care about the language difference (and am tired of Star Tours DL), but DD might find it slightly interesting, as she'll understand it. I vote "pass." Thanks Dave for organizing this!

Originally Posted By davewasbaloo Absolutely Lulu, in fact we will discuss options in the queues and maximise our wait times. In doing this, there will be time to shop, and we can indeed discuss whatsort of things you are interested in so we can take you to the right stores (the Emporium, Harrington's, and the Castle Stores are often the best choices).
Originally Posted By davewasbaloo Rope Drop is at 10:00, gate opens about 9:30. The trains start at about 6am. If you guys are able, it would be worth getting to the resort at 9 - 9:30. We can meet you at the station exit and escort you dans le magique!

Originally Posted By LuLu >>Plus, if we get your passes with you, we can get you a 20% discount.<< Yeeha!!! Sounds great. The train ride is about an hour? I'm too tired right now to figure out where the train schedule is :-D But we can shoot for arriving around 9.
Originally Posted By davewasbaloo Yep - it's between 45 min and an hour dependent on which train you grab.
Originally Posted By davewasbaloo The hours for shows etc. are now out. Sadly, the Lion King does not appear to be listed during the week (but nor is High School Musical or Lilo and Stitch Catch a Wave (so I suspect final plans cannot be made until arrival). On LuLu's commando day, I suggest we all meet at the imagineering statue for about 9. That's the one that looks like mickey's hand holding a wand after the security check tents (on the left hand side as you face the DL Hotel). Only 13 days to go for us, we are getting so excited!!!
Originally Posted By u k fan I think that meeting by the Imagineering Statue makes perfect sense. Will I need camouflage?!!!
