    You know when i go to Disney i spend up till about lunch in Disney park then go to waterpark for afternoon. Have you considered this approach? They probably aren't as big as you might be expecting.

    Thats a good idea. Or park hop, or return to the hotel if near by for a nap. Thing with my kids is once they are in the park you have to drag them kicking and screaming out so we tend to stay the entire day!

    I really like green meadows and its quite easy to get to as well. One thing I would say is please please please take some OFF spray with you as there are lots of mossies there.

    Its a great day and you get to hold litle chicks and everything.

    Cool

    Thats sounds a better idea to be honest. My son is 6 and we have gone yearly since he was 4, he has always loved Universal. I personally prefer Universal to Disney (rides) But in terms of suitability they have loads at Universal just perfect.

    You all know I LOVE Cypress Gardens!!!

    Blizzard Beach is more family friendly as opposed to Typhoon Lagoon which imo is more young teens and such.

    But really both are fantastic.

    Question for disney-cjd,

    Sorry, I could PM you but I think other people may find the answer my Q interesting.

    You mentioned going to Titusville to watch a shuttle launch. We've had tix for Kennedy twice and the launch was scrubbed. There's another launch when we are over and save wasting money on tix for the end of our hols (again) we thought we would go to Cocoa and watch from there. But you recommended Titusville. Looking it up on the map it is closer to Cocoa, so looks a good call. But where's the best place to go and how early do you need to get there to secure parking etc?

    Thanks!
