No disney

I'd knock out the Cocoa Beach night and go for 2 on Anna Maria. Don't miss the Ellenton Outlets on the way - it's at exit 224 going south on the I75

If i was not doing disney ,i would honestly choose California or another state over Florida.
I found in comparison to California, Florida had a lot less to offer once disney and universal were taken out of the equation.

We are not planning on doing Disney this time. We have done it twicw with the kids and fancy a break this time.
However, we are going to do IOA and US, and also aquatica, and busch gardens as the kids have not been to any of these, so they will have lots of new things to look forward to!

I think this depends on how much you love Disney personally we love Disney so we make that oup top priority and we leave most of the other parks. This is not to say if it right or wrong as every one different. Depending on your money and what parks you like to do. me and y partner dont think much of US so we will not do them next year.

Hello,

We were thinking of not doing Disney this year but still getting Universal tickets (our kids like the characters there much more than Disney).

We normally go to MNSSHP so we would still do that and that way would still have an evening in MK which should be long enough for the kids to do all the rides they like.

Friends of ours went to Gatorland and recomended it for an afternoon so planning on doing that and I am sure there are lots of other things we have missed in the past because we spent so much time in Disney parks and if we change our minds once we are there I guess we could always just buy a day pass to their favourite Disney park. (but that would mean less money for shopping )

We only do a day or so at Disney when our son & family are out visiting with us. Used to theme park it nearly every day when our boys were kids. Always find plenty to do chill out a bit more visit AMI beaches St Augustine shopping going for meals etc sometimes at DTD or City Walk. We don't do full on every park every trip by spacing it out we enjoy it more when we do go to a park we haven't visited in a while. We went to the Ringling Museum at Sarasota in November and had a fantastic day. Would highly recommend I have put an album in my profile page didn't know how or where to add in the forums.

We have been a couple of times and only done DTD and the Boardwalk. We just drop down into a slower pace and take it all a bit easier.

Thank you very much to everyone for replies. This has convinced me we are doing the right thing and not going to miss out on anything.
Your replies are very much appreciated.
