Many thanks for all your replies
It's not that they don't love Florida its that perhaps the last trip was so good and we did so many different things (not many parks though) that maybe we can't beat it or match it again. ? I think that in a few years they'd go back. I daren't leave my son alone, he's a typical teenager, its not unknown for him to leave the front door unlocked when he goes out. Daughter will be at Uni so it's not a great problem if she doesn't want to go on hols with us (would love her to come with us though) Wife is not too fussyabout where we go but like me she's not a beach person, we have to have things to do. Maybe I'll have to accept that the kids have grown up and instead take my wife on a trip to the West Coast as she's never been there. It's a strange feeling, like an era is ending ... weird.

But that is because you are comparing apples and oranages. You could have gone to another part of the States, or travelled through some of your Europe. Or you could have stayed in a Villa in tenerife, organised to go to water parks a few days and other days out, that is comparing a more like for like experience.

I know what you mean. I sat on the plane coming home in August thinking this may well be the last time. I have to admit though I am looking forward to seeing more of the world, probably just DH and I as the teens definitely seem to have lost interest in travelling with us.

I agree with the posts about not comparing sitting on a beach in lager lout parts of spain and florida. Lets face it Orlando is SO fake like LV but we love it. But there are so many fab places out there. I love egypt and would go back in a heartbeat, i have a list of all the places i want to visit and would love to take 6 months out and travel the states and see what America has to offer, similarly would love to do that with NZ and Canada.
There is a whole wide world out there apart from Orlando, spread those wings

Hi
Why not combine Orlando with a cruise to the caribbean as well , we have booked one week Orlando and then 2wks Caribbean cruise best of both worlds and something for all the family. I have free car hire in Orlando with free insurance and a house on the Regal Palms Spa resort complex which cost me £100 for the week, so the extra week isn't costing a lot more and 3 weeks is more relaxing than 2.

I like the sound of ' a solo's trip to florida' too, my children have grown up and like to holiday with their friends now, I'm single with no Florida Fanatic Friends ... so unsure of when i will go there again , although i was interested to hear about some dibbers going it alone, maybe i'll have to think about that.
