    Sounds nice but I am not a beach person if I had to go on the beach I would want to do something like water skiing or try absailing. Was it pricey there? Much to do apart from being at a resort?

    Yeah we are never at our resort which is why we always get it cheap

    Its very cheap there, I mean we've just been Turkey which was cheap, but Florida is cheaper.

    There is loads to do, we are just in the parks so much we never get round to the other stuff

    I think what I am after is to get the real feel of the place then to be at a hotel at a resort which is why I ask what can you do there? Apart from the theme parks? Can you get a real american experience?

    To me though, what is the american exerpience cos each state is different

    The thing with orlando is apart from sleeping you never spend time ate your hotel cos most people spend the time at the parks
    Theres loads of stuff you can do its just Ive never looked into cos I love the paks, but Ive known other people to go there and not go to the parks much.
    Florida is a big state and you can go the the Florida keys and swim with dolphins and one time we went canoeing down this big lake where there were aligators

    What would you call a real american experience?

    I went to Florida last year and had a great time. There's so much to do apart from Disney. There's Seaworld, which is more than just fish and is very hands-on. Then there's the shopping at the Florida Mall or the outlet centre. Kennedy Space Centre, lots of attractions on International Drive (the main place in Orlando), great places to eat, plenty of dinner shows. Also the Everglades, if you into that sort of thing.

    It's not just Orlando, Florida is a big state with lots to see and do.

    I'd recommend it

    Oh I went on a helicopter ride. I don't think it was all that expensive and we got photos and a dvd of it.

    I think I would something away from the theme parks and events you could see. The places that we have been too we have been able to get away from the mainstream places and discovered what the country is about could this be done in Florida? Could you head away from the places you have mentioned and get to see Florida for what it is?

    Well Florida is a sunshine state so it has lovely beaches

    The florida keys is probably a more attractive place to visit
