While I would not recomend this place for peopls sans kids, if you have small ones, and you're ever looking to stay in the area, check out the Nickelodean Hotel, which is literally 2 minutes away from Disney. We stayed in a suite with kitchen, bedroom, decent sized living room and large bathroom for $150. The courtyard to our building housed the coolest waterslide
and poolwhich we got to check out one night. Husband had never been on a waterslide before, and would have declined if I were able to go on. Since I wasn't though, I happily sent him off to his doom with our son and laughed my *** off. If you notice the giant prange bucket on the top of the slide, it fills up with 400 lbs of water and then dumps it on unsuspecting people. Yeah, my family got hit with it

We did the Sea World and Magic Kingdom thing. I was happy to see that except for the roller coasters, I was able to do every other ride, so I wasnt left sitting under a tree for the 10 hours we were there. The lines were short at both places, and we have redoubled our thoughts to never ever go to Disney during a school vacation. Just looking at the areas where the lines *can* get to made us shudder. Worst line was 30 minutes for Thunder Mountain. We were able to hit every single ride we wanted to do and then do a couple of our favorites twice in one day.
A couple things I never get over is the wildlife there. Even in the heart of the cities, FL has some really cool wildlife hanging about. My son and I tried to catch the geckos while we were playing mini golf. We saw a few giant black birds that made us all go "whoa" and I looked them up this morning to find out they were vultures. And I had a giant grin on my face coming home after seeing my very first alligator in the wild, sunning itself on the banks of a swamp.
All in all, despite the freezing weather yesterday there, and being very sore from all the walking we did, we had a pretty good time.
