Default Re: What are some fun, interesting day trips you can make from the Villages?

We just did a day trip to MGM-Disney. We had never been there at Christmas time and wanted to see two new attractions. We were not disappointed.

The Osborne family Spectacle of Lights in the "New York" section was amazing. At nightfall, they turn on 3 million lights covering every building and overhead. Dazzling. The lights than pulsate to Christmas music and they have a snow machine, that makes you feel like your in a light flurry. I believe its really chilled soap flakes, but, its as close as you can get to the real thing in Florida. No lines, just be there.

Lights, Motors, Action was awesome. It's a new stunt show set in a French Village using fast cars, motorcycles, jet skis and stunt people. In our opinion, it is one of the best attractions we have seen in Disney. The ampitheater fills quickly, suggest you get there a little early (30 Minutes). Definately worth it.

The Indiana Jones stunt show is still very good, noisy and action packed.

The Backlot Tour was good.

Lots of activity including parades, street entertainers, music. One of our best Disney experiences overall. There were a lot of other attractions we just did not have time to see. We were there from 10 to 7 and back in the Villages before 8:30.

We would like to go back to see the Epcot fireworks and Animal Kingdom (haven't been there). Any suggestions ???
