Also we are staying at the Caribbean Beach and have read that there is a convineance store?!? If so what items does it sell ? Coffee, milk, etc

Thanks Clare x

yes its available, i thinks its coppertone sprayon, and very expensive about $14 for a small can, so buy as much as you can here and make sure its 15spf and higher as its very hot.we only took 8 spf which wasnt high enough so had to buy the spray and it only lasted 2 people one day!

DD & DH got sunburned last year in April at a waterpark, despite using SPF30 (waterproof) :eek:.
I'd say, especially for children, you'd be safer with SPF50 for waterparks and SPF30+ on other days.

I think that I am going to buy two 'Orlando Flexticket Plus' tickets from www.floridatix.co.uk they are £176 each for 14 days. Anyone know if this is good (company or price) or should I wait until I get there?

Would you believe that my son has been on probably every ride worth going on in every theme park in Florida. And that includes things such as Hulk, that massive slide at Blizzard Beach, Mummy ride etc etc and his favourite was the Space Shuttle at KSC.

Personally i thought it was a bit of a damp squib - There was such a build up to it - really its just a simulator that puts you on your back and vibrates a bit - Bit like a Friday night in my car with the music turned up and my seats laid back...... But thats another story

Isnt that what got you into this mess in the first place ;)

We bought Coppertone AEROSOL sun lotion in factor 50 for my daughter and 30 for us. It cost $7.49 from Publix. It was fantastic as there is no rubbing in, you can spray kids on the move (have you tried keeping them still for their sun lotion top up!!) and it is nice and cooling when you spray it on (plus it reaches all those hard parts to reach!). They sell it for double in the parks, so stop off on the way and stock up.

I don't do many of the rides - I like my stomach where it is - my favorite was probably the kids rollercoaster at Busch Gardens :rolleyes:

I agree it isn't a "thrill ride", but it is fun, although I was hoping for a bit more.

These cost £166.95 with them, though think you may have to pay postage.
