    I HAVE NEVER BEEN TO DISNEY

    There, I've admitted it in public so to speak.

    Me and my family have been to Florida on a regular basis for years, yet we have never been to Disneyworld. The first year we went the kids said they were a bit 'old' for Disney (street cred and all that). Ever since then we have always been doing other things. Next time we go though we have made a promise to ourselves that we will go and check it out.

    It always gets a surprised reaction if I mention it to friends and family. Is there anywhere in Orlando that you mean to visit and dont??

    I have never been to MGM studio, it is 5 years since we visited a Disney park and that was Animal Kingdom, before that it was 1989 the last time I went to the Magic Kingdom and Epcot and we visit Florida around 5 times a year. Not all Florida lovers love Disney

    We've never been to Sea World (or at least I have but that was 19 years ago - or thereabouts).

    Shock, horror...swoon!!!! Disney seen by some as Blackpool[:O][:O]
    You are no doubt right, and folk are absolutely entitled to their thoughts.....but not sure I could miss a Disney fix when in Florida, even if it was only 1 visit!!! If I ever manage JUST 1 visit during my holiday I will post it on here I am sure [msnwink]
    We met some "middle-aged" Florida residents when riding Soarin on a preview in April this year, and they said they go to a Disney park MOST weekends!! Not neccessarily to go round ALL the rides, but to go to a special event that may be on within the parks! I believe that particular evening they were going to see some band perform in Epcot [msnsmile2]

    We've never done the countries at Epcot. Only been to Epcot once, and it rained most of that day, so never finished seeing it.

    Wow, just noticed my avatar is on there - if it was you Tezz you are a star - now I feel more like part of the family. Thank you Thank you.

    Sea World is an absolute MUST for me - at least 3 visits there each time we go to Florida. I love the feel of the place.
