After 'what's the worst experience' how about your best experience whilst holidaying in Florida.
Be interested to know - think mine is very simple like the glorious sunset in Key West or one thing that really sticks out is the look of sheer pleasure and wonderment on one particular child's face on seeing Mickey Mouse - she was taken unawares as Mickey was behind her - she turned round and it was lovely to see her smile - wish I had taken a photo.

Hi Lisi
Mine was when we took our daughter to Disney for the first time, she was only 2 1/2. The look on her face when she saw Winnie The Pooh was unforgetable, it still brings a smile to my face now! [msnsmile]
The day we arrived to see our first villa for the first time...we could hardly breathe when driving up the road and had a sneaky look through the window before going in - my heart was in my mouth but it was just beautiful...the interior designer had done us proud and was worth the extra money we spent on her [msnsmile2].
One of those moments almost as good as being there at the birth of your children or getting married - they remain with you forever and bring a smile to your face every time you remember them.
Hi lisi
we've had loads of nice experiences but one sticks in my mind it doesn't sound much but it gave me a warm feeling,
when my son was 4 we stayed at the Disney All star we had banners and balloons in the room saying happy birhday. after a long day in the parks we got in and there was a big cookie left there and a card saying happy bithday from Mickey Mouse. My wife reckons it was the cleanerbut I'm not so sure
Told you it doesn't sound much but I still think of it 8 years on.

It's the Disney culture Benfilo - all staff are trained to notice things like this and to do whatever they can to make guests stay special...I've read an excellent book on the philosophy of Disney and this one fits the mould perfectly [msnsmile]

Its hard to narrow it down to just one good experience, Orlando as a whole is fantastic. Seeing our villa for the first time was great, our youngest enjoying the Magic Kingdom on our first visit was good (he was 4 at the time and loved the "its a small world" ride) but the best for me would have to be watching our eldest swim with the dolphins at Key Largo when he was 7. He was dolphin mad at the time and loved every minute of it. It was a memory to treasure! Funniest so far has to be my hubbie dressed up as a local yokel and barn dancing on the stage at the Wild Bills show.[msnwink]

Best experiences have to be watching the expressions on the children's faces every time. Mine was my son Jamie's face after he had plucked up the courage to ride the Hulk in Islands of Adventure (he's 9). He nearly backed out lots of times, but braved the wait and rode the Hulk. The look on his face afterwoods was brilliant - especially as his brother was too small to ride.

Our first visit to Florida was 9 years ago, and our then 6yr old was just about the biggest Winnie the Pooh fan in the world. We did a character breakfast and she was just beside herself, and I have to say the whole Magic Kingdom experience was just wonderful for both of our daughters. That and Sea World were I think the best things for them. Course now they are grown up young ladies and it's IoA all the way!

LOL - I know a lot of people have a go at Disney but they really have got the right mix of culture and ideas to make a magical time for anyone [msnsmile]
