What's the best experience in Florida

[benfilo]

HI
I know a few people who don't like the "have a nice day" attitude but I think it's fantastic .
good on 'em

My best experience of Florida was the first time we visited.

I just fell in love with the place and would be quite content to go there at least once a year for the rest of my life....getting worried looks from Sue now !

We were only there for a week as part of a cruise and stay, but as soon as we were walking around the parks, the shope and just driving up and down 192, I kept saying that we have to come again. We did, and have kept going back ever since.

As for the "have a nice day" attitude, I get the impression that its actually genuine in Florida (and other parts of the USA), whereas back home in the UK, its only said because its part of the script passed down from the manager !

I'm hoping that our trip in June will be the best yet, as we'll be introducing our son to Mickey, Minnie and pals. [msnsmile2][msnsmile2]

When my eldest daugter was four I took her to the Cinderella's breakfast at the Magic Kingdom and all the princesses were there. To her they were real and watching her reaction it was very hard not to cry.

Just watching the faces of all the children (not just mine) watching a parade is amazing and is what Disney is about to me.

Watching my 2 daughters do the dolphin swim at Discovery Cove last Christmas Day was also wonderful.

I agree entirely,we had a great time there before the kids came along but taking them there is even better.
How much does the Dolphin swim cost and how far in advance do you have to book.
thanks

You can book up to 2 years in advance I think, it is certainly worth booking early as the number of places each day are limited. I got my tickets in the UK as that worked out cheaper than booking direct with Discovery Cove.

The look on my daughters face as she woke up Tinkerbell on the morning of her 4th birthday.
The look of pure pride and amazement which we luckily captured on video is just fantastic.

For me, the most MOVING experience was my first visit to Kennedy Space Center in 1995. They used to have 'Red' and 'Blue' tours those days and on the Blue tour we visited a lot of the older parts of the facility. Being a 'space person', I was deeply affected by the firsthand exposure to the conditions in which those pioneering astronauts went about their jobs.

My most THRILLING experience to date is accidentally finding myself on the front row of the Kraken during our last visit. It was so exhilarating that I have bet $50 (dollars, mind not quid) to my timid (but unable to resist a wager) sister-in-law to do likewise this spring.

Gosh there are so many I wouldnt know where to begin..I suppose the first time of taking my sons to Disney and having them stand next to the characters, a little scared at first but then the big fat smile as when they pick you up or give you a big hug, just makes me want to tingle.
