I grew up in Central Florida and remember Mom and Dad taking me there as a kid. When I moved here 12 years ago, Mom, hubby and I went again. The memories were not the same. The laid back atmosphere has been replaced by food shacks and 'portrait drawings' of customers. We have not been back but...
it is a nice place to visit once or twice. The glass bottom boats, animals, etc., are worth a look.
Go to the Bok Towers in lake Wales if looking for great Florida sights. I love that place.
My 2 cents.
