Is anyone twisting your arm to go there?

The Magic Kingdom is "Magic" and worth the price of admission. Besides, when you buy the multi-day passes, the price goes down considerably per day - to like $25.00 p/p. Not bad since there are four theme parks, two water parks, and a host of other activities and attactions. Check your facts and go. You will sing a different tune, because "Nobody does it like Disney".

Kim, I was raised in Florida and lived about an hour from Disney World. Been there so many times, I lost count. The first time was the year they opened. You're not telling me anything I don't already know. A tourist can pay that price, a local shouldn't have to.

There's more to this than just Disney World. There is Harry Potter, Universal Studios, on and on. And just when you think you've seen it all, then there is Kennedy Space Center - you can see an actual Saturn V moon rocket, and Playa Linda Beach - take the brand new Max Brewer causeway (park your car and walk to the jag at the top, drop a coin, and make a dream) to visit that , or just South of KSC is Port Canaveral and you can take a Disney Cruise.
You can go Kayaking on the Indian River or fish for Redfish, you can dangle your feet in the surf at Cocoa Beach, you can picnic and Bar-B-Que at Jetti Park and enjoy the giant cruise ships as they depart. On and on and on. More to do and see than anywhere. You can forget the stress for awhile.

Al, Been there, done that. Used to surf in Cocoa Beach, Melbourn and Stuart. Been on a cruise, saw the Space Shuttle go up from Titusville, also saw Challenger blow up. Worked on a charter fishing boat in South Florida. Camped on St. Augustine beach, did bike week in Daytona.
Al, I'm 63 years old and when I say "been there,done that" I'm not kidding.
Did I tell you about the time we hid out in Disney World till they closed and got locked in? That was 1974, I believe.
