Avatar's 2010 Fall Vacation

Avatar · November 29, 2010

Hello good to see you here. It has been a while for me to write up a trip report and in truth I did not plan to do this one but I did want to share some highlights from our trip so that you may consider some of the parks in your plans next time you're in Central Florida area. I will go ahead and include the whole trip in this report but will skim through some of the park days, mainly Disney as I have reported extensively on it in other reports including our 2080 vacation here Avatar's 2008 Fall Vacation

This year the total trip included a total of 16 days and we stayed at Disney's Pop Century as our home base which included the regular Disney Dinning Plan, although we did venture off to stay a couple nights at other destinations we never checked out of Pop Century. Below you will find our basic day to day Picture Itinerary which gave us an idea of what we would be doing on those days.

I really try to get the best deals I can find that way we can stay longer and include some extra activities that we otherwise would not be able to afford. I would say that we saved about 40+% off the regular cost for the entire vacation on a whole. By doing that it caused us to tour certain parks before October or to go to a Beach resort before October. We also scheduled around the trip to include my brother Dennis (who lives in the area) to join on weekends.

So let's get Started shall we

September 24, 2010

My Wife Lisa, step son Travis, 10 y/o daughter Miss Rae and myself arrived at the airport to start the journey.

I had decided earlier to share parts of my trip with family and friends through face book postings and it also gave me a way to tryout my new Imovie app which let me take pictures/videos and produce a quick video all by using just the IPhone. So here was that first video.

So everything went well with checking in to the room as tradition decorated our home away from home window to give it a more personal touch.

Saturday September 25, 2010

We start this day by meeting my brother at the resort as he will be spending the next 3 very busy days together.

We load up the van so we can go spend the first couple days in the Tampa/Clearwater Beach area

Here is the view from our room and to be honest we were very happy with the activities and beach walk in the area.

Then we spent some time on the beach having fun but realized if you want ocean waves the Gulf side is the wrong side to be on. Here is a quick short video of our beach time.

Before we left home I told everyone that I wanted a nice beach picture of the family and that we will be wearing similar shirts so if they had any problems that they better speak-up then, even though they will be overruled. So that evening we took a few pictures and here is one of them.

Sunday September 26, 2010

We packed the van back up and started our drive to visit Busch Gardens Tampa for the day. It was a beautiful day and started out day trying to figure our way through the park as they had large sections of the park hidden behind construction walls as they are planning a nice coaster attraction for next year. I must say as a family Busch Garden really offered many rides and attractions that a family can do together and for all levels of adventure. We rode some very awesome thrill rides including SheiKa and I just loved dangling over the top when we rode the front seat while the ride positioned itself for the dive. We absolutely loved having a animal habitats mixed in to give our thrill side a break every now and then.

The train was very similar (same type) as Kings Island but you travel through and African safari with animals roaming freely (sort of).

We enjoyed everything Busch Gardens Tampa had to offer including the food and buying some unique souvenirs. We did not get so see everything we wanted but decided after only a few hours that we will be returning. A BIG momentous occasion occurred for our family while visiting Busch Gardens and I want to share that moment with you. Miss Rae is scared of coasters but rides occasionally if they are small and she feels they won't go very fast. Well I rode Scorpion which is the smallest single looping coaster I have ever ridden and did so to get the coaster credit. After ridding it I approached Miss Rae and her that it was small and if she was ever going to try one that one was the one she should start with. Well everybody started to try to coax and bribe her to go on and finally I told them all in a nice way to give me and Miss Rae some time alone. I have been building trust for years with Miss Rae about riding coasters and never push her to do so. So I said "Miss Rae I do not want to buy you anything and I am not going to push you to ride Scorpion but I have been honest with you for a long time and I am being honest now I know after riding this one you can do it, I will be very proud of you and you know the others will be too but most important you will be proud that you did it and faced your fear of a looping coaster. Please trust me and ride with me just this one time and you know if you want to you can back out". We sat there alone for about 5 minutes hardly speaking but letting her control our conversation and ultimate decision. Well you know by me explaining it that she did nervously agreed she would try. We got up from our seat and I waived everyone to come on and as they entered the line with us I told them we are nervous and need to concentrate and not talk about it. How did it go you may be asking. Look for yourself.

I had goose bumps for the rest of the day and at the time we did not realize how much of an impact it had on the rest of the trip when it came to riding coasters.

To finish this day up I will end this with a video I made using the Iphone again.

We drove back to Disney and had dinner at Boma Café then back to Pop Century Resort.

Monday September 27, 2010

I will start this day by letting my video announcement tell you what is store for us on this day as I think it explains it better than trying to type that atmosphere.

Truly truly just an awesome day words can never express a day at Discovery Cove from just the enormous opportunity to experience Sea Life/Mammals up close was tremendous but seeing your children walking around with large smiles on their face was more than I bargained for.

When you go to Discovery Cove for the price it includes everything for one price. You may choose to swim with the dolphins or everything but the dolphins swim as long as at least one person in your party does the swim. This includes a entry photo, breakfast and lunch while a live tropical band plays, all drinks (including beer and wine) and snacks, a free 14 day ticket to the your choice of one other SeaWorld central Florida parks, all activities in the park including no charge lockers, animal feed and life vest. The price ranges through the year basically from $199.00 to over $300+ for a day at Discovery Cove. I was pleased when I found a discount online that let me get everyone in for $149.00 per person. We started the day in a bit of a rush to get in on the first dolphin swim so we had to change eat breakfast and pick our lounge chairs in about 50 minutes. But that was fine as it gave us more time for the rest of the park without worrying about being back to meet up for the dolphin swim.

The Dolphin swim last a half hour and is a rare opportunity to for a brief moment in time connect with another Mammal. I have a video of my family swimming with Dash and may share that special family time if someone is interested to see that. Otherwise here are some pictures of that time.

Miss Rae being pulled around by Dash

We spent some time in the Ray Pool

We were even given some shrimp to feed the rays

Then we snorkeled in the Reef Pool for a bit

Keep in mind that there is no zoom going on with the camera and as you can see there is an abundance of fish and rays.

We got a little hungry and decided to have one of their many scrumptious lunch dishes while we enjoyed some smooth tropical sounds being played live from the house band.

We decided that from there it would be nice to float around the biggest and longest lazy river I have ever seen.

Some areas are barley waist deep while other places along the river is very deep

About half way around the lazy river you come upon a huge bird aviary, you can float trough it or get out and bird watch/explore.

If you like you can ask a Discovery Cove associate for some food from one of the few feed carts for no charge and enjoy feeding a large variety of birds or do like me and just enjoy the moment of watching you child enjoy the interaction with the birds.

After spending a good amount of time in the aviary it was time to finish going around the lazy river. In areas they have some nice props to explore under the water.

Towards the end of the lazy river there is a glass window below the water that lets you see into the coral reef area. I was surprised how real it seemed looking through the glass under the water. It was like there was nothing there.

So after his we went back to our chairs to get a break from the water Travis and Miss Rae stayed at the lounge chairs while Lisa and I went shopping and to purchase some keepsake photos of our day.

It is at this point that I must stop and thank someone not just for valuable information through the years he has shared and not just because he helped us save some money but because he exemplifies what a generous, helpful and someone who is willing to go out of their way to help type of person he is. A type of friend everyone hopes for. I am talking about KICentral's very own Deliriun_Guy. Through the years during the planning stages of some of our Orlando trips, Todd contacted me and offered some very valuable information and in turn I started to contact him to ask for advice around the parks. I knew Todd works with Sea World Entertainment and at present at Discovery Cove. So this gave us a great opportunity to meet up while we focused in on touring Sea World parks. I did run into Todd early in the morning on our day at Discovery Cove. Todd checked-in with us a few times and offered us an opportunity to save some money for any purchases we may be interested in and stayed after work to make sure that happened. What a friend. We discussed the rest of our trip plans with Todd and he felt there were a few days he may be able to join us and Sea World was one of those dates YES, I could not think of a better person to show us around Sea World than Todd. I will have more to share on this in later post of this trip report but for now I just want everyone to know how much I appreciate some out of town KICentral hospitality. A big THANK YOU Todd for hanging out with us we really enjoyed your company and generosity. The family says Hi.

So at this point the day was starting to wind down and we made a quick run around the lazy river before departing for the day. Here is a short video of my final thoughts about Discovery Cove, notice how much my excitement had changed from earlier in the day.

We made our way back to Pop Century to shower say goodbye to my brother Dennis then head for dinner at Artist Point in Disney's Wilderness Lodge.

OK this ends this part of this trip report I will try to do the next update within the next few days as long as you all want me to. The first three days were very busy with new adventures so this one is bit longer than what I expect future updates to be. I hope you all enjoyed this one this far and thanks for reading.

CoastersRZ · November 29, 2010

Of course we want to hear and see the rest of your trip report! Why wouldn`t we? You`re trip reports are always nice to read!

bkroz · November 29, 2010

What a great vacation! I'm so envious of your children, not only for the incredible experiences they're afforded (and with their family, nonetheless!) but also for your patience and understanding with your daughter and her first looping coaster! If I had been shown the same patience and care, maybe my coaster riding would've started off as a more positive experience!

This is absolutely an incredible trip here, and I'm very, very excited to see / hear about the rest! Thanks so much.

jcgoble3 · November 29, 2010

Oh, how I wish I could afford to do this.

Great report. I can't wait for the rest.

including our 2080 vacation here

I want the time machine!

I bet you could get it for cheap.

GYK, who would buy it himself if only he had a vehicle large enough to transport it... Anyone have a zeppelin I might be able to borrow?

Delirium_Guy · November 29, 2010

Jesse,

It was an absolute pleasure to spend time with you and your family while you were down here and I am so very glad that you enjoyed our Parks as much as you did :-) I always enjoy showing people around the SeaWorld for their first visit and I was happy that I was able to ride with you on Manta for your first time. I look forward to seeing you in a few weeks and for you to experience SeaWorld's Christmas Celebration...I think you are really going to enjoy it! Great trip report, happy to see Discovery Cove highlighted so much :-)

- Todd

Ogrmac · November 29, 2010

Jesse, I always enjoy your trip reports, and I am looking forward to reading about the remainder of your trip!

windshawne · November 29, 2010

Wonderful report. Miss Rae is turning into a young lady. It's been years since I've been to Florida and this makes me want to go.

TombRaiderFTW · November 29, 2010

Aw, I love it! Can't wait to read more!

Creed Bratton · November 29, 2010

WOW! Thank you soo much for posting about your vacation! I'm looking forward to more! The pictures and videos were wonderful as well as the stories! I'm glad that Miss Rae decided to ride Scorpion!

Next time you go on vacation can I be a part of your family?!?

Again, Thanks!!

standbyme · November 29, 2010

Jesse,

As always your trip reports are amazing. I can see why you wanted the beach group photo...it turned out VERY nice and I am sure it will always be one of your family's favorite photo. (The group shot at the dolphin swim also turned out very good!)

You are a lot like me in the respect that I always try and get a group shot of my family wherever I go. (Minus me of course! )

I am here at work at the moment...and on this computer there are quite a few of your photos that are not showing up...hopefully when I get home I will be able to see them all. (We are running IE XP here.)

Thanks again for taking the time to write up this report and I look forward to seeing the next part!

See ya,

J.D.

RailRider · November 29, 2010

So glad you finally posted this, I have been waiting since the facebook posts for the trip report to come up. I was so excited to see Miss Rae take her first big coaster ride on Scorpion. Classic Schwarzkopf looper, great introduction to more thrilling coasters. Good work on your part and a great moment to share, thanks. As always I look forward to the trip continuing can't wait to read further.

Avatar · November 29, 2010

Thank You TombraigerFTW, windshawne, Ogrmac and everyone else for reading and the kind comments. It looks like I will be finishing this one all the way through.

What a great vacation! I'm so envious of your children, not only for the incredible experiences they're afforded (and with their family, nonetheless!) but also for your patience and understanding with your daughter and her first looping coaster! If I had been shown the same patience and care, maybe my coaster riding would've started off as a more positive experience!

Thanks GYK every child is different, now Travis he always did better in sports when he had a Bobby Night style coaches versus a Tony Dungy style, that still holds true in other aspects of his life as well. But Miss Rae she is a Daddies girl and she does better by building trust by listening to her and just by being there, She strives at school and at home because she wants approval. That moment was a conscience decision several years back in hopes that it would pay off some day and it did in a big way. It was hard for her brother, Mom or even my brother to understand but I think when they seen the result they got it and they never said another pushy word to her or suggest I push/bribe her since. I wish you had a better experience but keep in this is my second time around as there is 15 year age difference between the two, in other words I learned from trail and error and have learned to have more patience. Thanks for the vote of confidence it means a lot to dad to hear.

Oh, how I wish I could afford to do this.

I want the time machine!

As for the time machine I hear they are getting pretty Universal!!!

I do not know your circumstances as if it is age, out of work or debt that would possibly prohibit you from going on a trip but I do understand your statement as it relates to us to this day. My main goal when I put up rices in my post is to help some understand that the prices maybe better than what they have perceived. I went most my adult life without taking a vacation and at some point realized I will never be able to afford one so I just did it anyway. Well at the end of that trip as we sat around a table reminiscing about the trip I told them we no longer could afford to not go on vacation. I admit we go during the off season and look for every deal we can find not to just save money but so that we may stay longer on vacation.

I look forward to seeing you in a few weeks and for you to experience SeaWorld's Christmas Celebration...I think you are really going to enjoy it! Great trip report, happy to see Discovery Cove highlighted so much :-)
- Todd

Same here buddy I loved you photos of SeaWorld Christmas and I can not wait to see it first hand and hope you are available to show us around. I just warn you that you may not want to get between me and Manta when we first arrive. LOL I want me some G.s

Next time you go on vacation can I be a part of your family?!?

You are already part of the family...the KICentral family at the least and we always have someone joining us on our trips and you are welcomed too. On fact many KIC have been talking about taking a trip down to Orlando one of these days

I can see why you wanted the beach group photo...it turned out VERY nice and I am sure it will always be one of your family's favorite photo.

I am here at work at the moment...and on this computer there are quite a few of your photos that are not showing up...hopefully when I get home I will be able to see them all. (We are running IE XP here.)

Thanks J.D. yes we do have a similar picture in a frame on the living room mantle. The wife took advantage of that situation and went frame shopping during our time at Clearwater Beach

I hope you get to see the rest of the pictures and video if not let me know i will give you a link so you can see them.

I am glad you made the reference "from work" and I hope that is doing well.

So glad you finally posted this, I have been waiting since the facebook posts for the trip report to come up. I was so excited to see Miss Rae take her first big coaster ride on Scorpion. Classic Schwarzkopf looper, great introduction to more thrilling coasters. Good work on your part and a great moment to share, thanks.

Well your proding did help last week and I am thankful for that as I enjoy others reports so I like to share in return. Yeah I had no intention of even thinking about asking her it was while I was ridding that i said to myself this id=s like a kiddie ride with a loop that gave me the idea. OH boy that so worked out, I know you know how we still cherish that moment. Just whenever and if you have time I do look forward to seeing one or more of your recent trips.

UnrealNightmare · November 29, 2010

I'm so glad you posted this Jesse. And I kinda feel proud to say Scorpion was also my first looping coaster! As was my brothers and sisters. Gratz to miss Rae! Glad to see you back on the forums.

Edit: I'm really glad someone likes Manta as much as I do as well!

muppetfan1999 · November 30, 2010

I envy you to an almost frightening degree of envy.

The Interpreter · November 30, 2010

Yet another incredible trip report by a truly wonderful guy...and a man who knows how to have fun and show his family a great time!

Thanks so much!

Another great job on your trip reports. Thanks so much, I know how much time it takes to put a report of your quality together. Its nice to see the warm Florida weather when I am stuck on the road in cold and rainy Cincinnati this week.

Avatar's 2010 Fall Vacation

Part 2

Day 4

September 28, 2010

Animal Kingdom

We woke today feeling a bit relaxed from the day before and looked forward to actually going into one of Disney World Park. We decided to start with animal kingdom as it closes early and that would allow getting more rest before a long day tomorrow.

We walked back to the Kilimanjaro Safaris and grabbed a set of fast passes then picked up some quick breakfast items at some of the carts in the area. One of the reasons we love Animal Kingdom so well is that it has a much laid back feel to it and is highly themed in every way including the lush vegetarian

We spent the rest of the morning roaming the Safari

Then watch Flights of Wonder show and riding Kali River rapids, I just cannot say enough of how the great the theme is in Animal Kingdom and love how they integrate Everest into the scenery of the whole park including parts Kali River Rapids ride.

Here is Miss Rae describing her experience on Kali River Rapids but you can see how well the loading platform is themed as well.

Time to point something out, if you noticed Miss Rae was wearing a animal print Mickey ears. This is because the first year back in 2006 we took a picture of Miss Rae wearing her animal print Mickey ears during the Safari and we decided this was a good opportunity to take a picture of Miss Rae to document her growth as she grows up. We knew back then that because of her school schedule that we would be returning about the same time each year. Also I knew the way she was seated in the vehicle I would get a similar pose.

So now it was time to slow things down and check-in before lunch.

After Lunch we finished riding many of the rides and watched the amazing show of Lion King. It was getting close for them to have their daily parade but we noticed the rain clouds were building and many people were leaving in fear of the forthcoming downpour. I suggest since the crowd was light we could get a quick ride on Primeval Whirl, so as we got on and they dispatched you probably guessed have guessed right. The rain started scratch that the down pour started, I mean it came down in buckets so of course we were the last to be dispatched and had to complete the circuit. We just sucked it up and laughed and screamed the whole time, wow what a memory that is. When we got off the ride we could not be any more wet then if we stood under a waterfall. We noticed 99% of the crowd cowering under anything that could give shelter. My first instinct was to find a place to wait the rain out all the while it is still pouring so it was at this point I told the family we are already wet let's just leave and since there was only a hour left to get ready for dinner. As we walked down the paths the water was over our ankles. The good news is, that was the only time it rained on us for the whole trip.

One of the reasons we keep going to Disney during the fall is because they offer the Disney Dinning Plan for free to entice guests to stay there. I often say and it is true that it is cheaper to stay at Disney that it is for us to stay at my brother's house for free. We are treated to many nice sit down meals and since some nights we are away at other Central Florida locations we save those credits to use so we may dine at Disney signature dinning locations for no extra charge. We look forward to eating at Disney Signature restaurants so much that it has become part of the overall vacation experience, even as much as the parks.

So tonight we are dinning at one of our favorite Disney Signature restaurant called Jiko.

As you dine the walls change colors very subtle. The Jiko is located in the Animal Kingdom Lodge so the chef cooks with an African flair to his creations. When the waiter walked up I noticed him from a previous visit and he told us he is one of the few remaining staff from opening 11 years ago. I wanted something different and anguished over 3 menu items I asked the waiter for some advice but still it was hard to narrow it down to just one item. He asked me several questions and now we narrowed it down to two choices, so now it was time to decide I looked straight at the waiter and said "surprise me", he smiled and said you will not be disappointed. Dinner arrived and Travis raved at the roasted duck.

So here is my "surprise me" meal

OH WOW!!!! Yum yum

Maize –crusted Halibut with vegetables at the moment and Tomato-Butter Sauce

So since desert is included I had the waiter pick that as well. I was so glad I let him pick for me as it was good but fun to be surprised like that. I made sure he knew how appreciative I was with his service.

Due to the fact this is the first of the month I must stop and finish the month end billing but promise to get the next three days done by Friday night or Saturday morning but I did at least want to get something up tonight..

KIfan1980 · December 2, 2010

Jesse - I started reading this PTR on my iPhone the other day and knew I had to get back to it on the computer when I could really see the video's/pictures. Finally, I get the computer going and am rewarded with another day - Wahoo! Thank you so much for the time and effort you put into sharing your vacation with us - I hope you understand how much I enjoyed following it on Facebook and now getting to feel it in even more detail here on KIC. Thanks!

So many thoughts - I'll share a few:

Based upon this PTR, I've added Discovery Cove to my must visit list - although I'll need to let the kids get a little older.
Yea for Miss Rae and riding Scorpion - You rock as a Dad!
Your ability to plan and follow through on the animal print Mickey picture over the years is really neat - talk about something she'll treasure as she grows up.
This reminds me why I love the Disney experience so much. From the theme in Animal Kingdom, to the architectural details in the resorts, to the rides - the total experience is what makes it "magic". I had to go check - only 116 more days until we check in again!

RailRider · December 2, 2010

I will save additional comments for the end, but I absolutely love the series of pictures showing Miss Rae over the years. Thought I had seen those Mickey Ears before.

Love the trip report, keep up the great work.

KIfan1980 · December 3, 2010

Railrider, I'm glad you are enjoying this because some of us are looking forward to the other part of the deal.

RailRider · December 3, 2010

Glad to hear that. I have started organizing the pictures and will post once Avatar is done with his wonderful report.

DeLorean Rider · December 3, 2010

So... did you do the Jungle Cruise?

Excellent trip report. You could certainly write a book on how to maximize your Disney/Orlando vacation experience.

standbyme · December 5, 2010

Thanks for part 2!

I don't have a lot to comment on this part...my family and I have never enjoyed Animal Kingdom. (We are lucky to spend a half a day there.) I guess it's because of when we usually go, early February. There is usually hardly an animal to be seen. (Just birds mostly.) Last year was SO bad that I thought Disney did a disservice to it's customers by not posting a sign outside warning everyone how few of the animals would be out and about due to the weather. (I know that if I specifically purchased a one day ticket to visit Animal Kingdom that day I would have been severely upset by the lack of animals.)
