I have been lucky enough to go to Florida not once but twice and must say that there is no better place to go on Holiday.
Let's start at the start the one problem is the 9-10 hour flight but that's a small price to pay for the fun that you are about to have. Second problem driving the hire car (lovely car) from Orlando airport to the hotel ( about 30 miles ) on the wrong side of the road at nigth maybe next time I will arrive in daylight.
That's all the moaning out of the way now because a few beers and one good nights sleeps and you ready to go.
Having been before the few things I had done before Leaving England were to pay Crash Damage Waver on the car about £270 for two weeks ( you have to have it or you will have to pay it at the Airport before you take your car ) and to Buy some weekly Theme park pass's ( Save spoiling your holiday looking for the best prices for tickets and you will get all sorts offering you low cost tickets ect )
So then the first day and luckily the the welcome meeting was at Universal Studios so we had are free breakfast listened to the rep's and heading staight into the theme park ( already having 5 day past bought in England ) .
Anyone who can go in to Universal Studios and not have fun is dead there lot's to see.Great ride and shows both for the Old and young and some and some of the rides will Scare even the hardest of you.
Must do's for me (Big Bloke) were the Back to the future ride,Men in Black, Jaw's the ride and some of the 3D movies which do make you Jump!! the Kids will love E.T the Ride and the animal show plus the Nickalodeon Studio tour were they see all there cartoon favarites as well as the Hanna barberra and Yogi Bear RideThere are also lot's of music shows and less adventrous rides for the little bit older who like to take there time. After this and on the same day we went Just 500 yards to Universal's New Park ( There is probably to much to see to do both parks and we returned a secind time to this park ) The park is called Islands of Adventure and is a bit more for people how like scary rides althought there are planty of kids rides maybe not the park for older poeple but for the rest of us it great.
The must do ride's in this park where probably the best in florida with three Water rides that make you Stream and get you very wet,Three rollercoasters two of which are very fast,the Spider man ride (out of this world).And some more very good shows.
If you only do two parks these are the most fun even if there is no Mickey Mouse!!
That was only are first day in Florida and you can see have much we done but that was only the beginning and I stall do Part 2 Tomorrow as I think this could be a bit long to read in one go.
Email me for any advice JOE :0)

Good op, I've been a few times and loved it. I am looking forward to your second installment. The only problem (already mentioned) is the spacings, but I won't dwell on this. The bad thing about Florida is that whenever you go somewhere else, it seems boring. Also, I find it hard to explain to others who haven't been how good it is. The best way of travelling to Flordia is the two-centre holiday, where the second week is spent at Clearwater or St. Petersburg. avoid ATA or else your ling-haul trip will be even longer.

Hello Joe, excellent compared to the earlier ones. Plenty of detail. There is a BUT though. I'm assuming you've typed it on word etc, when you copy and paste it, it can knock your spacings out, and it looks like its happened to this review. I found this out the hard way as well. So you end up with a line with 2 or 3 words on. If you go and edit it you'll be able to adjust the lines. I won't mention spelling/typo's errors too much, we covered that before but there a few. I'm not sure you can have a second opinion on the same topic. So if you were to add more detail on it, it could end up having to be the one you wrote today. But try anyway, do it on word so you don't loose all that typing if it doesn't allow a second opinion on Florida. Must admit I'm at the writers block stage and I refuse to write about soap powder and washing up liquid, so you won't see many more reviews from me until I get blinded by inspiration. Following on from the honeymoon and money comment earlier, just to let you know its taken me from late January to earn £20, that includes £10 of premium fund awards. Some people get that in a week (I wish). Good luck. Bev
