Universal's "THE HULK "

Welcome to my Orlando page.we have just returned from our third trip there, well we did busch gardens in tampa first, 2nd time down Disney and this time we did Universal studios, islands of adventure, kennedy space center, and more.... so here we go again. hang in there and return often as i put up all the info...

Disney is a great place and I think that everyone should go there at least once in there life. It's a place were big kids can be little kids all over again...

There is some thing at Disney for all ages...
Plan on spending one day at each park if you really want to see and do everything.. trying to get in a couple of parks a day is just to much...

I'll be covering each park so you will get to see them all....

Universal Studios

islands of adventures

Universal studios is my favorite place...
We are going back this year and i can't wait..
Last time we were there they were building islands of adventure, so that will be something to see...

You can step back into the movies at Universal and feel like you are there, from jaws to back to the future and more, it is a time to have fun and enjoy no matter what your age.....

Kennedy Space Center

the shuttle

kennedy space was one of our visits while in florida. It was a great trip and one i would recommend to anyone... It is an all day trip, but there is alot to see. From the imax films,to rockets and the shuttle, you can get a very good picture of the space program and what it is like to be in space...

Pros and Cons

Pros:Great place , lots to do, much to see
Cons:Not enough time.........
In a nutshell:A Must Visit at Least Once.........

Last visit to Orlando: Jul 2004

you must be mixed up....hard rock does not have movie props etc you are speaking of Planet Hollywood....that was a part of the disney dining plan. It would be a huge insult to say that planet hollywood is anything like HRC....

The impact of tourism on the greater Orlando area has been dramatic. And not everyone sees it as positive. But it's always nice to see that it has brought some happiness and enjoyment to those who visit. Thanks for sharing.

Guess you loved Fla & the Disney thing. We've done our share starting in Calif when it was the only Disney park. I stay off the wild rides, tho. :-)

Glad you guys enjoyed your time in my state. I'm not a Disney fan, but I will agree that everyone should do it once. Twice? Maybe not. :) Greetings from the non-Disney part of Florida.
