So, anyone have any stories, horror or otherwise, to share? :)

I hate Disney Crap, but fortunately, so does my daughter, so we have
together managed to slip all invitations to Disney World for several
years,
even with relatives in Orlando.

Florida used to be a really cool place to visit before so many people
moved
there. There was a lot of primitiveness in Florida 40 years ago,
primitiveness that's mostly gone now. Still a little bit left if you know
where to look.

I've gone to Disney World maybe a dozen
times in the past 20 years or so. Relatives
live in Cocoa Beach so it's close. :)

I'm in my early 60s and probably enjoy it
as much now as I did 20 years ago, although
the walking's a bit tougher.

Once about 10 years ago we took a friend's
daughter (she was about 12 years old, IIRC)
and the three of us had a good time.

I'd recommend it because there are so many
choices about what to do. I think it's worth
trying once. I'm not a huge fan of FL, either,
BTW.

I love visiting Disney. The last few times I've visited, I've always
stayed on the grounds. Sure, they cost a lot, but I've always felt that
the staff there are giving me first class treatment.

And they have lots of surprising things there to entertain and educate
adults. They don't miss a trick. It's as if they really care whether you
feel like you're getting a great value for your money.

My family and I are going on our first Disney cruise in May. I'll let
you know how it goes if you're curious.

Best of luck. I think you'll find it a lot of fun.

Bleh. A ripoff all around.

Recommendations?

Epcot Centre.

I spent most of my time on the beaches and let the wife and kids do
Disney.

I challange you not to have a good time at Disney World.

Just don't steal anything, unless you have 500.00 usd to payoff Goofy.

I've been there once - many years ago. What I remember is this:

Extremely crowded during Christmas vacation time - so plan for it so
it doesn't upset you so much.

Don't expect to only spend one day there - there's way too much stuff.
I think you can reserve times for going through exhibits at online
kiosks so you don't have to wait in lines so much.

The fantasyland portion is the same as the one in LA - so if you've
been there, you can maybe short change that area. There's still a lot
more in Epcot center with lots of displays, restaurants and shopping
centered on different countries and science exhibits.
