Just Ordered Our Tickets

[Kanda]

Wanted to say thanks for all the questions answered here. I was so nervous about venturing away from Disney for some reason. Now that the tickets are purchased, I'm so excited I can't wait to get there. We're doing a trip of all new things this time. We're going to Gatorland, Universal Studios, IOA, and Kennedy Space Center (including lunch with an astronaut). We're even doing a Murder Mystery Dinner. Although we enjoy Disney, I'm looking forward to a non-Disney trip to Orlando. Off to read ride/show descriptions.

Thanks again!!!

You'll love Universal. Besides being something different, many of its rides/attractions rival or beat the pants of some Disney attractions. Don't miss Spiderman.

Woo-HOO, here's to new adventures!!

For help with ride/show descriptions, I really enjoyed Kelly Monaghan's reference book for UNI/IOA:

Beyond Disney: The Unofficial Guide to Universal Orlando, SeaWorld & The Best of Central Florida has chapters for Gatorland and the Kennedy Space Center as well as UNI/IOA, SW and W&W:

I hope you have a fantastic vacation and all trip reports would be very much appreciated!!
