I would do the 1st Tour and then the Orientation in the same day. You should get back in time for both!
 
I chose the tour # 1 and the the orientation at 12noon.

I suppose it's not the end of the world if we miss orientation right?

That's what I figured! At least I'll "know" someone on the tour!
 
You will be back from the tour at 11:30.
 
I'm doing both on the first day. It is so early! But I think it will be worth it :)
 
This is the first time they've done the orientation. You'll have to let us know how it goes!
 
Wow, it would have been nice to have an orientation the first time I went! That sounds like a great addition!
 
I am doing the orientation and then tour 2 on day 1 if it is still available. I was waiting for 2 others in my group to make a decision.
My director said if only the eraly tour was open to skip the orientation since it is optional.
 
I'm doing both the same day. The 7am Orientation and the 8am tour. :-) Can't wait to see you all there!
