Hey all! I just got back from a great vacation in Florida, we stayed in a nice Villa right in Kissimee. We went to Magic Kingdom and Universal Studios, if anyone has any questions I will do my best to answer!! :flower:

We've never done Universal, but were wondering whether or not there were any Backyardigan characters in the Nick area. Our DD is a huge fan of the show and would love that! Did you see anything that had to do with The Backyardigans?

Thanks!

We are thinking of doing Universal this spring. Our kids are 6, 4 and 4, Is there enough for that age to do there? My kids are all pretty short and I always have a hard time explaining height requirements!
Thanks for any Universal tips you may have!

Hey! I'm so sorry but I have no idea who the backyardigans are!!! I did see some characters around the park that I didn't know, if you could post a picture of them I could tell you if i saw them or not! I know i did see Jimmy Neutron, and Dora.

I have to say the rides in Universal are a lot more fun/I would say wait to take your young kids there #1 because of they're height #2 Universal is a place that you want them to remember. We took my cousins who are 12 and 9 and they just LOVED it!

anymore questions? feel free!!

Hi,
I am glad you had a great time !!! Are the any hotels to stay by Universal which can be walking distance ?? We are trying to avoid the expense of renting a car !!
If there are such hotels, which ones are the best in terms of location !

thanks.

Hey Snurt71 i checked out the link and sorry i didn't see them around. you never know though when you go! At Magic Kingdom we saw these bear looking characters with really really long lips/noses and they had like trousers on. I had no idea who they were, anyone know???

Thanks for checking!

I'm sure the bears you're describing are the Country Bears (Country Bear Jamboree) - I never remember their names until I read them in the autograph book, though.
