I much prefer Homassasa Springs, Gatorland, Kennedy Space Center, Silver Springs, Florida Aquarium, Tampa Zoo, etc., etc. All of them kid friendly. Disney is Disney, and I suppose everyone wants to go there once. As for me, I will not return.


Does Disney not have the Fast Pass system any longer? My niece would sign us up, and we would get a time frame of 15 minutes to show up and walk right onto the rides. This seemed to work very well for the rides that have a long wait.

My family loved staying at the Wilderness Lodge right on the property on their last visit last year. They were allowed to check in at 10:00am, as soon as they arrived, and could leave the car there until after the fireworks on the day of check-out. They said they had great rooms, great restaurants, super pool, and all this just a ten minute boat ride from Fantasy Island.
