Oh, The Places We’ll Go! From the “stars” to the “sea”: Universal, SeaWorld & beyond - Spring 2016

I received an e-mail from Sea World about non-passholders and the lounge. They said there is a small fee of $5-$10, hopefully that is for the full day and not a one time use.

I hope this is not one of those things that depends on who is working the counter but when I checked I was told you can have 2 free guests per day. After that it is $10 a day for each additional guest.
 
I heard the news about those crazy lines at security!! I hope they improve the TSA situation before my next flight, 86 days! I have a feeling Jake will be back pretty soon. I know it is hard to stay away, and where there is a will, there's a way!

Thanks again for documenting your trip. It was a really fun read. I am all for a PTR if you can swing it! :yay:
 
Can you do mime...
:D

One way to find out!

So adults can visit the candy stations, too? I was wondering if we would be out of place at the Halloween events, with no little kids in tow. I have also heard they have some pretty cool animal ambassadors out during the Halloween Spooktacular: I am super excited to maybe have the opportunity to get up close to some of the other animals that aren't always accessible to guests :thumbsup2.

Oh yes, very much so. No one ever batted an eye whenever I hit up a candy station
 


You had another great trip report. Looking forward to your PTR. Fingers crossed you hear good news about the job tomorrow.

I think I'm at about 19 weeks, I don't want to look. But I start training for the wine & dine half on Monday and the half is in week 18 so 19 weeks from tomorrow I'll be on a red eye, or there about :)
 
Just popping in to say Good Luck for tomorrow! I plan to read the last few pages of the report on the way up to the cottage tomorrow. I haven't been able with all the running around and packing and last day of school stuff today. I'm looking forward to the PTR for the next Gina adventure too!
Thanks for bringing us all along on your trips :)
 


Wait....it's over?!!! :sad: I have had SO much fun reading about your adventures and can't believe your trip has come to an end. Thank you so much for sharing with us:grouphug:

Thank YOU so much for reading along! I hope you will join me over on my PTR for October once its underway :).

Absolutely. I have gone each of the past several years and always got a bag and went station to station. I have never had anyone tell me I shouldn't be doing that or had an employee refuse to give me candy. You may be in the minority just being adults but I have never noticed that anyone else cared (as long as I didn't run over their kid getting to the candy).

That's good to know......we are just big kids at heart, after all :goodvibes. My mom, especially, enjoys the candy from our October trips: she can snack for months on the goodies we bring home from the Disney Halloween parties, and she's welcome to our SeaWorld haul as well!

I hope this is not one of those things that depends on who is working the counter but when I checked I was told you can have 2 free guests per day. After that it is $10 a day for each additional guest.

That actually sounds much more like what I expected. Hopefully someone will be able to ask on their next visit and confirm for us :thumbsup2.

Yes ma'am, I will certainly be doing a PTR regardless of if I am awarded the new job or not. That one I should be able to swing with no problem.

Fingers crossed that security lines are not so hideous when you travel....I will be looking forward to your feedback since you travel before we do. Definitely leave yourself a little extra time, just in case ::yes::.

Tell Jake I said hi to his former stuffy today.

OMG, I showed Jake this last night and he almost peed his pants laughing :rotfl:. You seriously made our day!!!

Thanks for the trip report Gina, and for sharing your life and vacation with us all. I enjoyed reading it.

Thanks for reading along :goodvibes. Do come over and join in the PTR once I post the link. I think I will put it on the Orlando Hotels & Attractions board since its non-Universal, not really Disney (though with some Disney components) and a whole lotta offsite.

Thank you afan!! If they leave me hanging over the long weekend (tomorrow is Canada Day here in the north, and a statutory holiday for us Canucks) I swear I will go crazy waiting.

19 weeks will go by in a flash!! Summer, especially, always passes so rapidly that it makes autumn adventures roll around much more quickly. We are officially at 15 weeks today: I'm not sure if that makes it sound like more or less than 105 days? :scratchin

Thanks for bringing us all along on your trips :)

Thanks, my friend! Have a safe journey to the cottage and a fantastic long weekend!

Can't wait to kick off the official October planning thread, and to have you join in as you count down to your own family adventure too!! :goodvibes
 
So today's the day. Can't wait to hear the job news.


Did you know.....
The first CD ever pressed in the USA was Bruce Springsteen's "Born in the USA"

I'm not sure if I should be excited or terrified. I'm not gonna lie, its going to hurt if I got this far and they decide to offer someone else the position.

Very cool fact on the CD pressing. But boy, does that make me feel old.......is Born in the USA really 32 years old??? :crazy2:

I know what you mean. Can't tell you how many times I was certain I was getting a job or something and then in the end I didn't get it. I'm glad those days are pretty much over for me. Although every few years the ministry dangles my contract.

Thanks for doing the math on that CD. Now I feel old.
 
Well this trip report may be over :sad:, but DDS is gonna still keep us entertained with trivia until you start the next PTR, right?
Right...? Right...? :hyper:
Happy Canada Day to all my Canucklehead friends tomorrow. And a Happy Independence Day to most of the rest of you on Monday.
 
Amazing report as always! Can't wait for you to start your PTR to hold us over. Got to keep us up with the happenings in Gina world, especially if you get your new job, which we are all routing for!
 
Amazing trip report, Gina! :thumbsup2 Thanks for letting us follow along on your adventures! :goodvibes

Sending prayers and pixiedust: your way. Hope you hear about the new job soon!

Looking forward to your pre-trip report! ::yes::

th
Happy Canada Day Gina!
