Andy_Bangle Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 (edited) Okay, not strictly outside Disney but here goes: Buy the Padawans a couple of Mickey Lightsabers from outside Star Tours @Hollywood Studio for under $15 each and they can spend the rest of the week flighting it out. (Or they can build their own for $21.95 +tax). You need to get the Mickey sabers not the cheaper ones, they're longer and have sound effects THEN buy/build your own Darth Maul’s double saber ($24.95 +tax) to show 'em who's the daddy The time you done all the stuff you've plan there won't be much time for anything else - maybe downtown Disney and a couple of shopping malls (10% discount at Macys) etc. Edited June 22, 2015 by Andy_Bangle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruiser647 Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 You can go sinkhole hunting. Or go diving in the little 'ponds' they have. Or Burnese Python hunting.... We went to the beach at Daytona and just loved the way the longshore drift kept moving us up the coast. Or go across to the Gulf coast for calmer and warmer waters with whiter sand (barring any oil droplets..........) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_Bangle Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 Don't know when you last went to Daytona but the central beach part of town is real shithole now, hit hard by the recession/storm damage/lack of investment. In the suburbs there's still the big posh houses but the Daytona beach area isn't a place to be at night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Um.... 1979..... it was around the Daytona area, that's all I knew, as I was 10 (ooops, 5 ) at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_Bangle Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 (edited) Yes, the 500 is the biggy but thats in Feb. You can do a tour, stand in the highest row of seats and say 'feck me that's a big oval' and then leave. How long you there for? You've got the 4 disney theme parks - which is at least 6 days of queuing and sweating, then the two water parks which you can visiting multiple times (plus the villa pool). You're driving over to Kennedy Space Center, so that's another day done (1 hour each way drive). SeaWorld is another full day - with a little shopping and sightseeing thrown in (downtown disney, Cirque du Soleil (if that's your or your trolley-dollys thing), GatorLand? Pirate's Dinner Adventure?) you'll be fecked. If you're going in the summer with the heat, humidity and jet lag you'll be wanting some to R&R back at the villa in the aircon. If you still want things to do SeaWorld sell tickets which include entrance to Aquatica, their water park and/or Busch Gardens Tampa - but that's another 2 hours drive each way over to east coast.

Luke Posted June 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 I'm not doing all the theme parks. Probably just Universal. Just fancied doin something totally different to the usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_Bangle Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 totally different? leave the wife and kids there and jump on the first flight to Miami and/or the keys! There really isn't much else to there other then getting hot and sweaty in theme parks, it's not exactly a classy location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Posted June 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 There are flights down to the Keys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_Bangle Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 Yep: https://www.google.co.uk/flights/#search;f=MCO,SFB;t=EYW;d=2015-08-16;r=2015-08-18 I picked a radom date in August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Posted June 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 The airboat ride looks promising. Good shout Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tipex Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 The Airboat ride is good fun, but personally I don't think it's a day out, half an hour was enough for us just to experience it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_Bangle Posted June 23, 2015 Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 I agree with Tipex, the airboat ride is something you do on the way to somewhere else - but it's a great blast flying along over the water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotty Posted June 27, 2015 Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 A girl I work with has just done a two week driving holiday around Florida. No theme parks (except Sea World) as they did them last year. She did East Coast, West Coast, swamps/airboats, Miami ("it felt dangerous"), the Keys etc. sounds like my sort of multi-location holiday but not so much fun if you have kids with you.
