This was our first visit to Florida back just under a week still in florida time mode 
Stayed at Emerald Island fantastic villa shame about building site right behind our villa,but as we spent most of the three weeks out and about never really effected us , plus it meant the kids could make as much noise as they wanted in pool as villas either side were empty for whole 3 weeks
Did speak to site forman and all building work is finished Feb 06.
Our Favorite park was Busch garden
Universal edged it over disney for our kids who's ages are 15 14 12 10
Favorite rides were Kracken,Sheikra,Spiderman, Hulk and the wooden roller coaster in Bush gardens Gwazi, that we thought would be a gentle roller coaster break in ! boy were we wrong , plus revenge of the mummy tho our 10 year old was a bit scared by it!
Favorite budget resturant Goldern corral had that little more selection than the various others we tried in same price bracket
Favorite other resturant TGI Fridays on the 192
Best day out Discovery cove , we got a 8.40 dolphin swim which really woke us up food and rest of park was superb! one tip we can give make sure your swim vest is tight fitting or you will get a rash under your arms, better still wear a rash vest or tee shirt under swim vest! four of us ended the day with a rash 
Overall family favorite was Typhoon Lagoon what can we say a place not to miss can still see us sitting on the chairs with the waves splashing over our feet or floating round the lazy river on the tubes
We also found the Beltz store on the I drive to be the best for bargains ( clothes trainers etc)
Also why cant our supermarkets hold stock like them guy's Wallmart was a experience
Overall we had a holiday of a life time, what a fantastic place and also nice to go to another country where the people auctually like us British !
We are already planning for our next visit next year
And a big thanks to everyone on this site who we gained so much prior knowledge from before we went
