Hi Andrew, yes I have seen this thread
Our children are age 9, 6 and 4, and we ALL (especially me[:I]) love the theme parks. However last Easter we went to Florida for 3 weeks, and our villa was only available for the first two. I therefore booked a week in a villa in Rotunda, although we had never been to the Gulf before. Well I have to confess that we fell in love with the area. It is so much more relaxing than a "rest day" in Orlando. We now always try to do a split holiday staying for a week either in Rotunda or Cape Haze which is nearby. We go to the beach, relax by the pool, go on boat trips (brilliant as we see loads of wild dlphins usually), and hit the shops (which are much more convenient and nicer than the ones in Orlando in my opinion). The restaurants we also find are better at the Gulf, more individual independent ones, just as cheap and child friendly as Orlando. I would choose s split holiday every time, especially if you are lucky enough to be there for 3 weeks
