I believe it.  Our first trip down we went during Spring Break.  Bad
mistake.  By lunch time we were wore out from just fighting with the crowds.
Yeah from past experience we know that we like to be able to hop from park

        Dear Carol, thanx for all the info on Hercules! =)
        I see - those movies are overly popular here as well. I guess
Lost World a little less than in your country and Batman some more.
Although it is a mystery to me /why/ these movies are so populat. About
Men in black, well, I just saw the tailer a couple of times and think it
could a somewhat interesting. Then I heard a little later it made a lot
of money already. One question: Did that movie make more money than Lion
King? Somehow it's always strange to me how movies of this type could be
any better than animated movies. Well, I guess that's a matter of taste.
Still I'd love to see a real long animated Disney movie sometime. I
mean... some movie that is 120 or 130 minutes long... {dreaming}...

First of all those things you pointed out in Lion King and Little Mermaid are
completely false.  The LM cover, well, that's only in the eye of the
beholder. If you think dirty, you'll see dirty.  Same for LK, as well as that
so called "naughty dialog" from Aladden, which wasn't real either.  Second,
Demi Moore is an accomplished actress.  She is in no way "kinky" at all.  She
has done some movies with some nudity in them - but what hot Hollywood
actress (except Barbara Striesand) has not?  Moore has over 20 movies to her
screen credits, many of them very good, and for you to make such gross
generalizations about her "character" shows either a lack of research into
her career or a lack of thoughtfulness, or both.  Just my two cents.

Don't think there is anything here about travelling in Florida

and see if anything crops up, maybe as the holiday gets closer I
may find out more information from their web site.
That's a good idea, never thought of that one.  Any weather that
is warmer than our own 0-5C at that time of year has got to be
good  :))
Is that busier than the main holiday season from May-September??
We've been in Florida during those holiday times.

Knowing our luck they'll close for refurbishment the minute we
get there and re-open the minute the plane flies out for the

BTW, anyone flown Delta Airlines???
Have just found out we are flying out of Manchester UK with

fly into Maine where we refuel or else fly straight to Orlando
