I went late september/early october last year. Was fucking epic. Best holiday ive ever been on. We did the disney parks, sea world, bush gardens and universal. Two weeks was a struggle to get everything in. The parks and water parks are out of this world. Enjoy.

Not really tbh, not really looked at the prices of them recently but I'd be surprised if you were looking at more than $80-100 for both of you to go to each park. Not exactly small change but not out of this world. Also buy the tickets from the small places you see at the side of the road with the big luminous signs saying 'theme park tickets'. They get the ones off people who've not been able to use all the days on them and they usually give great deals, plus you can play them off against each other to get the price down.

Get a car! Only bummer is under 25 have to pay $25 a day young driver insurance! Was worth it though for the Dodge Charger and getting up and going where you want when you want!

I went in October 2003 and it was awesome. You have to go for Haloween tho, fright nights are unreal! While you're over there i'd go to Daytona speedway, that was cool being driven around the track and standing on the podium etc. Get to race in an arcade game sat in an actual Nascar too which was
In Kissimee they have American Muscle car nights. Just a massive parade/meet of some seriously clean muscle cars. Then obviously all the theme parks, aligator places, walmarts, buffets, waterparks etc. I cant wait to go back

John it's best to get your tickets before you go there. You will need a 14 day orlando flexi ticket and a 14 day disney ticket. This basically allows you to go to all the parks all the time your there as many times as you like

Old Town they have modded car night as well, it's literally like a scene out of F&F 2. Everyone's got neons in their engine bays, hydraulics and shit, it's fucking quality.
