    Jaws closing for good on Jan 2

    I will be heartbroken if it goes ahead. They planned to close the ride in 2005 and the overwhelming number of complaints halted them. If you're someone who wants this ride to stay, be sure to email them - the response will be computer generated but don't be discouraged. There's also a petition...

    American Specialists (flights2florida.com)

    Afternoon everyone :) I am looking to make my first trip to Florida in 5 years this summer and came across the flights2florida.com website and was taken back by their deals. An example is a 14 night stay at a 3* hotel on international drive for £239pp which almost sounds too good to be true...

    Ride order for both parks

    Also, if you're still there when it's dark, be sure to ride JAWS and the other outdoor rides. Very different experience during the dark ;)

    Texas de Brazil

    For anyone looking for a great restaurant in the Orlando area, Texas de Brazil is a great place to eat. We've been there twice and the food is amazing. If you're a meat lover, then you have to check it out. You have to make reservations in advance and when we were last there (2006) it was $40...

    Simpsons ride question

    Has he tried Star Tours @ MGM/Hollywood Studios? Some of the movements are very similar but much smoother.

    Ride order for both parks

    We always go around USF clockwise (starting @ Jimmy/Shrek and ending up at Terminator 2-3D) But of course if you want to get the rides with the biggest crowds done first, that's always a good plan. The same goes for IOA, we usually start at Marvel Superhero Island and finish in Suess Landing...

    Seating for Universal Rides????

    I'm pretty sure MIB seats six. 3 in the front and then 3 in the back. I'll have to brainstorm and remember the others for you ;)

    To Universal or Not Universal?

    You sure can. Just remember to get your hand stamped if you're going back in :)

    To Universal or Not Universal?

    The whole Universal complex is very clean, perhaps more so than the Disney parks. I've been there countless times as well as Disney and they are both amazing places and each one has different things that make them so enjoyable. I would highly recommend you take a visit to UO and see things for...

    Unseen Footage - Jaws 1990 Version

    :thumbsup2 Yeah the first time I visited was back in 97' with my dad and I honestly wish I could've gone and seen the original park when it was built, even though I wasn't even born then ;) It's sure hard to imagine how it would've looked back then. A quick question though, if you remember...

    Holiday Inn Best Western Kissimmee

    Yep, I've stayed at the La Quinta when it was still a holiday inn, but this place is located more towards the turnpike :) It's located close to a turnoff for the turnpike. It's address, according to google is 2253 on US 192 and located across from Shady Lane. I'm hope someone will know where I...

    Holiday Inn Best Western Kissimmee

    Hey guys :upsidedow I am looking to find out what's happened to the hotel formerly known as Holiday Inn Best Western Kissimmee. I believe the place is no longer a Holiday Inn and when we revisited back in 2006, it was being renovated. It's located right next to a turn off for the turnpike, and...

    Good Restaurants offsite?

    I remember when we went back in 06, I'm pretty sure you had to make a reservation. The price then was $40 a head, and you have a double sided card, one side red and the other is green. When you flip it green, you are opening yourself up for some amazing cuts of the finest meat. If you turn it...
