What's the best experience in Florida

[zerotone]

One of the best moments for us was when we took our 4yr old, very shy, son to Disneys River County for the day. My favourite character 'Pluto' came over, took him by the hand and proceeded to walk with him through the nature reserve area, pointing things out to him. They were on their own except for a couple of Disney photographers. Needless to say 'Pluto' had been his favourite character ever since. Its just a shame we had run out of film for our cameras[msnsad].

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.
I'm with you on that frst went htere in 1990 seeing that rocket garden as I pulled into the car park was fantastic I'd been waiting years to go there.Thought you might be a space person with the name you picked

That's a good guess. The first two Alien movies are among my favourite Sci-Fi films.

Looking around the model homes in Celebration was one of the highlights for me.
Seeing the multi million dollar homes in Naples and Miami.
Staying in a villa on Chatham Park.
Spending a couple of hours at the Grand Floridian Hotel, then walking along the beach to look at the wedding chapel.

What a mixed reaction - I was pleased to see that a lot of you got pleasure from seeing childrens' faces which is worth its weight in gold - I know it is hard to pinpoint those extra special moments because Florida is such a great place - you just seem to have a good time wherever you go - can't wait till October

It's difficult to pick the best experience as we have had so many.One that does comes to mind is from a few years ago before Sea World built the large Dolphin enclosure in it's Key west section. The Dolphins used to be in a large oval pool towards the centre of the park, I think it is now the Dolphin nursery. My son was leaning over the edge to get a better look at Dolphin that kept swimming really close to the edge when his sunglasses fell into the water. He was worried because a sign said not to throw anything into the water as it could harm the Dolphins, suddenly the Dolphin he had been watching surfaced with the glasses in it's mouth and "handed " them back to him. It's the only time I've known him be lost for words I just wish I'd had my video camera running.

drinking freshly squeezed Orange juice outside on the pool terrace for breakfast,

At a water park not sure which one...going down a water slide thingy in a large rubber ring with my sister and all 4 of our kids- kids didn't stop screaming - we laughed so much we cried all the way down- you see me and my sis were rather overweight - it affected the dynamics of the rubber ring somewhat- Im laughing now just thinking about it....

Also at water park me and sis just couldn't get out of the rubber rings on the lazy river....

worst and best event has to be the roller coaster in the dark (someone remind me of the name- rocknroller coaster? it has a big guitar on the front of it..) i went on it for a dare by my kids- cus they said I wasnt up for a laugh.. I could hear someone screaming ..then I realised it was me it took me about 3 hours to recover

The first ever visit to Florida 14 years ago, just me and my wife. I had always wanted to go to America and at the time it seemed such a big deal to get there (no money in those days). It was everything I wanted it to be, big, brash, so different from England. I wanted to live there (still do want to sometimes), but then when I came home I was able to carry the memories for years. When we were able to go back a few years later, this time with the kids, it was good seeing the expressions on their faces.

Seeing a shuttle launch two years ago was also pretty special

The best experience we had came the first time we visited Florida. Our first meal out and a couple of americans heard our accents. They politely introduced themselves and we had a very long, very friendly enjoyable chat. They loved the UK and loved us. It was such a refreshing change from the usually surly attitude we got from other european countries, where we felt we were only allowed in so they could take our money off us.

The americans we have meet have been wonderful and they really help make our holidays great.
