I'm Sure there are lots of families out there with funny florida stories - this is what happen to my family on our first visit to Orlando in 1998.
We were staying in a hotel on Internation Drive and decided to use the I-Trolley to visit all the shops on I-Drive. Myself, husband and 3 kids were sat on the highly polished wooden seats at the back of the I-Trolley, when another family boarded with their 2 small children and a helium balloon, we were travelling down I-Drive when the balloon went BANG, the lady driver did an emergency stop, we all slid off our seats onto the floor, we were picking ourselves up when the driver gets out of her seat and stands at the front shouting "Oh my god what was that", the other family are trying to explain the balloon has popped (and wishing the ground would open up and swallow them). The Driver then spends the next 10 minutes saying over and over again "Oh my God, it was a balloon, I thought someone had been shot".
Don't worry, this incident didn't put us off Florida, we have been back several times.
Has anybody else got a fun florida story to tell!
