Going to Disney Florida
« on: 27 April 2012, 10:27 »
Hi Guys,

Going to Disney Florida in 3 weeks for 18 days. I've been to America before, but not Florida and i'v been to Disney Paris so have a little idea of what it's like! Only little!

Has anyone else been? What would your tips be?

We are staying on International drive, what would your travel tips be? (Not hiring a car) I was thinking of maybe taking the free shuttle to Sea World and then getting on the Local bus to right to the Ticket and Transportation are.

Any help would be great!

Cheers

Best holiday you will ever have (age depending). All of the theme parks are intense. Universal studios is an awesome place. Busch gardens has to be the best theme park in the world.

Go to an Ihop if you didn't go before! :smiley:

Cheers for that Ihop certainly looks like a nice place to go! :shocked: :grin:

Busch Gardens is somewhere we are thinking about going, have free travel there and back so i think it may be on the cards! Would love to see the white tigers too.

I'm not normally a fan of mixing sweet and savoury...but at the Ihop I had bacon and raspberry's on this pile of pancakes taller than my face covered in maple syrup. I thought I was going to slip into a comma. It was too good  :evil:

used to go out to the west coast area all the time, just below Sarasota

if you can get yourself out there for a day or two... its quality downtime from the busy, touristy and (imo) patronising parks...

the beaches are glorious and there is plenty to see and do in the reserves and the like

gave up going to the parks and actually discovered Florida... remarkable place

That does look awesome and we were going to do that. Though we are going to hit Australia for 6 months and then spend some time in America too! Hopefully see all that and what America really has to offer, not just fat people and takeaways! :grin:

So many places to see, so little time!

I drove a hire car from Orlando to Busch Gardens, but I ended up getting lost around some real slum area of Tampa.

Was not the most fun hour of my life!

Although Busch Gardens is immense. I love it. Went there twice in the time we went. If your going there, is worth going to clearwater beach too.
