Hi we have just got back from a fabulous 2 weeks in disney world florida staying at disneys carribean beach resort which was lovely and just right for us, we also did universal for 2 days 1 night at the hard rock hotel for the express passes which worked very well (thankyou dibb people) this was our second time doing disney and universal but would like to do disney world again in 2020 we r looking at changing it up a bit. We have been thinking of doing 8/9 days staying in the animal kingdom lodge as dh and dd who will be 13 would like to stay here then 5 nights doing something else in usa but not sure what? We would like to do Kennedy space centre but that's just 1 day, my th hasn't yet driven on the wrong side of the road (sorry no offence) but would love to drive a BIG truck so won't mind a couple of hours drive. Any input/ ideas of where to go and what to do would be great ps don't fancy bush gardens as big rides r a no no and don't want to do sea world tia

Hi driving is easy, all automatic cars. Other options , beach, state parks, shopping,

Hire a house with a pool on one of the coasts and do some post-park chilling time, taking in the local sights.

Maybe a day trip or overnight stay at Clearwater beach? It’s on our to-do list for a future trip 😀

Why not have your first week in a Gulf Coast villa to totally chill, then you will be fully refreshed when your ready to ‘hit’ Disney.

We spent 4 nights this year at Naples before moving to Disney then Universal. We enjoyed Naples more than Orlando! So much so we are heading back next year. We have 12 nights booked into a villa between naples and Marco Island (Lely Resort). Looking for somewhere to spend 4 nights between Tampa and Naples.

We arrived in the middle of the night in Naples so just had 3 full days. Went for a drive to Everglade city. Did an airboat ride from there but only saw one gator. The guy who took us on the airboat suggested we travel 5 miles further south and turn off onto a dirt track (he gave us a rough map). This track ran for 16 miles or so. We saw so many gators. Apparently there's also bears and panthers but we didn't see any, though we did hear a panther. We also had some great meals in Naples. Brookes Burgers (in top 10 of burger restaurants in USA) and Citros (if you like seafood). Lovely shops too. We also went to a rodeo, Pro Bull. Great fun.
