    Haven't been personally but a mate went last year and said Seaworld is a good day out and so too is the everglade's with an airboat ride [smiley=thumbsup.gif] [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

    Although it is a fairly long day that one [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

    Shuttle launch will be a spectacular sight i would imagine Jealous much... No not me

    If you're doing that neck of the woods get yourself on an Everglade Safari, see the Gators and the Everglades, get yourself down to Miami too its only a 3 hour drive at the outside stop a couple of nights there too.

    Disney is great as is Universal but theres so much more to do while you're there too. Get yourself to Daytona Beach ... I guess it depends on the time of year you go but you could be sneeky and book in time for Bike Week too

    Not sure if the Gulf Coast in Florida was hit with the slick, might be worth checking if you are thinking about going there!

    You could try busch gardens in tampa only about 1 hour away. or you could try coco beach just over 1 hour away.there is a bike night at old town kissimmee on a thursday night and cars on a friday/ and saturday night.daytona beach is nice. if you like roller coasters islands of adventures is very goooood.

    there is so much to do have a great time

    ps i will be going in 5 weeks cant wait

    i would recomend the everglades!i did that when i was younger and went on a hovercraft and still remember it now!loved seeing the crocodiles/alligators (i cant tell the difference :P )
    if you do venture to disney epcot is a good one!its not very disneyey but is definitly worth a day out!half of it is shops and rides from other countries and doesnt even touch on disney!if you can stay late for the fireworks as well thats definitly worth it!
    i can understand you not wanting 'death by disney' but you have to vist at least one park if you're going all that way :P
