=======================

• Jose' + Grant Watt - Dezembro 2025
• JB- I had been meaning to ask about Disney tickets. Do you use any particular website?
• GW- We tend to bundle it when we book the hotels, so not really.  Depending on the type of ticket (number of days, whether you're doing all parks, etc.) I can see if I can find something for you?
• JB- I'm aiming to get there 3rd July 2026 (yes...) and be around for 20 days. of that 20 days, how many do you reckon you'd want to be in parks? (also, just Disney?  Or things like Seaworld, Busch Gardens?). 4 nights of parks. Don't need consecutive as will be based in tampa.
  Kinda Epcot, Bush g, universal. Little excitement rides required, but I hear simulators are cool, too. No water parks (my sister and nieces find local river springs are cooler an option)
• GW- Good thing about Disney is that every park has some 'thrill' rides (insofar as rollercoasters go), but also lots of smaller and more immersive ones.  Happy to help you plan days for each park.
   A good chunk of the simulators are excellent- if you've seen Avatar (the blue people one), there's a massive simulator that's utterly incredible.
   I'll have a think on what the best idea if you want a night in each park is.  Problem is it may (read: no seriously it will) be quite pricey.  Will get back to you when I've thought some more.
•  JB - 4 nights. Don't need consecutive as will be based in tampa. Kinda Epcot, Bush g, universal. Little excitement rides required, but I hear simulators are cool, too. No water parks (my sister and nieces find local river springs are cooler an option)
• GW- If you're looking for not-so-thrilly, I'd bin Busch gardens potentially.  Universal/Islands of Adventure has lots of thrill rides, but also a bucketload of not-so-crazy rides, so I'd probably stick to those for non-Disney parks.

• 20260114 - email de Jose pra Paul LLoyd (porque a esposa dele e' especialista em Disney):

Hi Paul,

 As per chat in coffee area, I have 2 core ideas re going to FLorida (my sister is based in Tampa):
1- tampa based and go for 1 day/ 2 day trips tops around the area.
2- round tour starting and anding in Tampa

 What do you think? Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated 🙂 My current notes are below.

* In general
I'm aiming to get there 3rd July 2026 (yes...) and be around for 20 days. of those 20 days, how many do you reckon you'd want to be in parks? (also, just Disney?  Or things like Seaworld, Busch Gardens?). 4 nights of parks. Don't need to be consecutive.

 My sister already suggested not to do water parks as they will take us to many local river springs.

My current guess: Epcot, Bush g, universal? Little excitement rides required, but I hear simulators are cool, too.
