The 'no Disney thing' Orlando pre-trip report

[sunshine2blue]

Bear with me first time I've done this!

Cast
Me - 33 fanatical about Orlando, fell in love with it in 2000
DH - 34 quiet, level-headed, good with money type, all round good egg!!
DS - 14 typical teen, loves sports, girls, junk food and annoying DH!

This trip came about after 5 years of getting prices, working out our finances and discovering we couldn't afford to go
Last year a very kind uncle donated to our cause and before the money could be wasted on home improvements we (I mean me!) booked the holiday.

Since it was booked I have ate, slept this holiday to the point of boring DH and DS to death!! They are the type to get excited when the plane takes off and not before!

We decided this time that we are not doing Disney due to budget and we also wanted to do a couple of other things. (well, you can't do it all can you?)
So, this is what we are doing;
Universal and IOA
Discovery cove (me & DS swim, DH filming)
1 day Miami trip
1 day Daytona beach and speedway
Sea World
Wet n Wild
1 day shopping trip
More shopping!!

Might regret the no disney thing but hey-ho theres an excuse for another trip (next year if I get my way!!)

So there you have it, might not be the Florida trips you experts would do but this is our thing, our bag baby whatever you wanna call it!!

Oh I love Discovery Cove! You'll have a great day there. Will be interested to read your trip reports as I have never done most of your trips

Have a great time!

No Disney but it gives us an excuse to go another time! Wanted to see a bit more of Florida rather than seeing Disney again. If we get to go back (trying my hardest!) then we will probably go to WDW and miss out Universal next time and I would like to try and have a couple of nights stay in maybe Miami or the Keys.

fancy thinking about next time before we have even had this holiday! I have definately got the bug!!!
