Holiday Inn Main Gate West (West Of Theme Kissimmee

A very hot day. We purchased a 3 park, 7 day, ticket for universal, universal islands and wet n wild. This means that we can spend the rest of our time in Orlando messing around on theme park rides and swimming. Its a hard life :)<br><br>the best way to describe today is to discuss the rides <br><br>shrek 4d - a very amusing and fun 3d ride based around the shrek story. its a lot of fun and good laughs.<br ...

Today after a nice long sleep we decided to have an easy day shopping and swimming. Breakfast was at Denny's and we had bacon, scrambled eggs, hash browns and pancakes with an endless supply of coffee - just the thing to get you started for a lot of walking.<br><br>we walked along international drive to the prime outlets shopping center - hundreds of discount designer stores together, very similar to McCartha Glen in the UK. The prices were ok, but we were only looking today. <br><br ...

Round the world - part 2 ... the adventure continues<br><br>having prebooked the seats at for the BA flight saved a lot of time. We simply dropped off our bags and walked through to the admissions lounge. Unfortunatly the scanner detected my money belt and so guess who was frisked ... yup.<br><br>the flight over was very good and the BA cabin crew were excellent. can't ...

... gallon! Thanks Gordon Brown. The Quality Inn is what you imagain a typical Motel to be - except it has a huge swimming pool - which was great. we wrere both hot, tired and sticky. Nothing like a quick shower and a swim to keep you awake. I'm afraid we succumbed to a mickey D's just to tide us over - but we had a quick walk along International drive. It looks like we might be going to the universal studios instead of disney tomorrow.

... navy store which had some very good quality clothes and really good deals. I was surprised to find that I liked some of the styles in the store and you could buy shirts and jumpers for about $7 to $8, thongs 2 for $5! We had a quick look in one of the sony stores but none of the electronics stores around here appeared to offer any better rewards than we could have got ton any where else. After listening to the salesmen for a short time you get the feeling that they are taking you for ...

... the International Gateway. We'd never done that before but had been told by friends that go every year that it's an easy way to get to the World Showcase. We pulled through the security gates at the Beach Club and were ushered right into the lot without being given a parking pass, I guess since it was so late. Perfect! I LOVE the Beach Club! Absolutely love it. It's one of my top favorite Disney resorts... it's so quaint and gorgeous and just has such a fun atmosphere. We walked ...

... They also have the bird thats on the cereal box of fruit loops, its a magnificant bird but unfortunately its on the endangered species list. Then theres Seaworld which is an amazing place that no matter what age you are everyone will enjoy. Breathtaking shows with such variety will keep you entertained all day long and still leave you wanting more. Orlando is always a great place to go, but you don't always have to do the same things.

... visited the Grand Floridian I always thought that it was stuffy and not for me.  However, when we visited it one night last year I had completely fallen in love with it, and I fell even more in love with it this year.  The resort was gorgeous!  We walked around the first floor just taking in the Turn of the Century ambiance before we got to the big staircase and saw a bridal party taking pictures.  Can you imagine getting married at the Grand Floridian ...

... On the bus Disney videos were playing to get people in the mood. The bus ride took around thirty minutes to the WDW resort and almost as long to get around to the different resorts within the WDW resort. The place is huge. At check in there were another twenty or so people all smiling and ready to help. I don't know if they are fed drugs or not, but I would find it hard to look so happy all the time. POP Century has the theme of different decades. There is the 50's section ...

... the gas station and continued driving. This time, though, we didn't get back on I-95. At 1:05 we officially got on I4 and saw the sign I had been looking for.. "Orlando - 41 Miles." Less than an hour away! We continued driving and entered Orlando at 2:00. I couldn't have been more excited! As soon as we got there, though, the sky completely opened up and it was POURING. I don't mean just raining but it was ...
