Been a while since I've been around the jetcareer forum, but I decided to peek in

I'm gonna try and make it out to Lakeland for Sun-n-Fun for the Saturday and Sunday to get pictures of the Airshow and the static display!

I'm not really sure about the details yet, but I'm always excited to meet people from aviation forums! I'll update closer to the dates!

Yeah, if anybody knows any good tips for Disney World, that would be great. I am taking my wife down next month for our 1 yr anniversary! /hijack>

bring LOTS of money. Everyone has their hand out in Disney. Everytime you turn around you pay for something.

cargopusher · March 25th, 2005, 01:17

We're going to Disney after Sun 'n Fun - trying to ck w/ AAA for any discounts on the 4 day hopper pass -- word of advice - watch out for those operations that offer 'free Disney' passes, etc. - remember the old phrase 'if it sounds too good to be true........"

It CAN be done on the cheap, or at least cheap of Disney. You just have to be smart about it. Yeah, it does seem like everytime you turn around you're handing over cash, that is unless you plan ahead.

What are you planning on doing? I can probably give ya some indider tips. Sadly, I'm actually craving a Disney trip myself. Now that I'm distanced from them by about 5 years, I'm sorta de-bittered.

JJPilot · March 25th, 2005, 16:48

Word of advise from a local...

Invest or take a small cooler (or at least a backpack) and take some drinks, especially if you have kids. Just to give you a heads up; bottled water/soda will run you about $3 a pop! Even warm water is better than that!

A little tid-bit I picked up when I worked there, They have all operating cost paid for by the time you walk through the gate (ie. employees, power, entertainment, EVERYTHING). Everything you spend inside of the park is 100% positive revenue!

FYI

Well, we are going to get down there on a Tuesday morning, and we are leaving on Thursday evening. We planned on just getting a 2-day park hopper, but I am starting to consider a three day. We are staying at the Disney Port Orleans Riverside Resort.

I_WANNA_BE_ATP · March 26th, 2005, 19:20

I hope to make it to the sun and fun on Friday the 15th. It's also AOPA day. If anyone will be there that day, lets meet.

Good resort. It was called Dixie Landings when I worked there. I start at the food court there before I moved to Tomorrowland Attractions. The idea about bottled water is the best you'll get. Backpacks with bottled water and snacks are your best friend. You'll find water fountains in the parks to re-fill the water bottles. For a short trip like that, talk it over and decide what you want to do. The three day will probably be a better deal, and probably a necessity if you want to do more than one and a half parks. Remember, the admission (like was mentioned earlier) covers the operating costs. Disney makes their money off of merchandise and food.

Cruise · March 31st, 2005, 19:15

Any updates on a JC booth?

I'm gonna try and make it at least one day. Have a friend w/ a condo in Kissimmee and am going to look into possibly staying there if available. If that happens, I'd be willing to offer up floor space.....but, we'll see.....no chicken counting going on yet!

It'd would be nice to finally meet some other fellow JC'ers.

Kristie · April 3rd, 2005, 10:50

yup, not gonna be a booth...we missed the deadline and there's just too much on our plates right now, we'll have to check it out for next year!

I don't think either one of us will be able to make it this year, i have a training thing going on that weekend that i can't skip out on unfortunately.. but I will be in the otown area the weekend of the 22nd to visit my sister.

H46Bubba · April 4th, 2005, 11:11

Too bad.

Are any JC'rs going to Sun-n-Fun?

Kristie, we're up here in Lake Mary if you're ever up for a get together.

Kristie · April 4th, 2005, 12:59

my sister's down in clermont, so we'd have to meet somewhere in the middle! haha

I suppose downtown o-town is probably as near to the middle as we could get!?

H46Bubba · April 4th, 2005, 16:34

Winona says that would be cool and that it would not be a problem at all.

I'm going..just don't know which day yet. It won't be the weekend though....I'll be flying one of my students down to the Bahamas for the weekend where I'll have to "suffer through" fishing off of his 43' Bertram Sportfisher.

kellwolf · April 5th, 2005, 18:06

Oh you poor, poor CFI.

Funny thing is, with Gavin being born early, I might have been able to go if I weren't getting ready to go to Dallas to finish training.

Guidetothesky · April 7th, 2005, 09:55

I'll be going with the wife and child this year. It makes my 5th year. What a great time. Be sure to try one of the Jimmy Buffet margaritas.

cargopusher · April 8th, 2005, 00:45

Looks like we'll be there on Sat/Sun then on to Disney...

I_WANNA_BE_ATP · April 13th, 2005, 19:38

I'll be there this Friday, anyone want to meet somewhere and say hello, PM me
