Excellent mate, you sound stoked, so im chuffed for you. I am the same every year we come home.
What month you looking to go again? I could put you in touch with the people I rent from. Florida Davenport Villa Thats the place we rent.
Just a chillax for us this year, so Melbourne Beach (once to watch the launch if the shuttle goes up) Wet 'n' Wild and a bit of Universal where my mates other half works (discount please lol)
Driving out there is indeed relaxing as hell. We have got cocky now and learnt different routes to and from places, which is handy. Every year the trip to the house is like being home. There is something to be said for using the same house
The queues are never usually too bad, unless its school break, then its hell, but express passes take care of that
Dominican is good for that, but others might recommend Barbados or something.

first time out there so did virtually everything.
all water parks were superb, non disney parks better than disney ones, especially for adults.
everything is so easy to find, parks shopping etc, get onto route 4 and follow the signs, and also so close to everything else.
there were fantastic storms 5 afternoons out of our first week, however, only lasted a couple of hours and every one left the parks, longest we queued for anything was 25 minutes, however most stuff had barely a queue ( i don t think this is normal but great for us).
stayed in disney this time but will stay in a villa next year, now we have an idea of locations and how easy travel is, however may do the disney vacation club thing and stay at animal lodge.
new manta ride at sea world is great, and simpsons simulator was good, spiderman was my favourite, but other half liked kraken. the shows in the parks were awesome too, lion king was as good as when we saw it in the westend a few months ago (but not as long).
service everywhere was outstanding, especially in everything disney, but prices were not as cheap as everyone made out (maybe the crap exchange rate didn t help). jeans, timberland stuff and rockport clothes were cheap but nike etc were cheaper but not enough to think i will replace my whole wardrobe.
hae a great time, really jealous, eed to book next year, any one any suggestions on villas?

Is the Citrus Tower still there Snazy. As you went up it stopped at various windows and a girl came out with this endless commentary which she knew off by heart. One of my crew deliberately stopped her with a question in mid sentence. She answered his question and then continued the commentary from the exact word where she stopped! She had a smirk on her face though so we reckoned she knew the score!

Not familiar with the Citrus Tower Les, I shall google it now though lol.
A lot of the guides on many things are VERY good at their jobs, and always stay on script. Had the same sort of thing at Kennedy too
Just looked it up. Even though the house is just off the 27, we have never been that far down it. Furthest we went in that direction was Walmart lol.
I shall have an adventure this year though and report back (with pics) Only 14 miles

lol thats not very nice now is it 
Ooooh dont you dare, I will be watching closely from the second I land haha
Oh right, fair enough. Tis pretty flat and boring round there. Most of the plantations have probably been built on now. They seem to be slowly shrinking to allow for housing, holiday homes and new little settlements slowly but surely.

There was an interesting Alligator zoo near Kissimmee, not the big chav one which I think was called Alligator Alley or something like that. That was a long time ago though Snazy-have a great time anyway.

Got some footage of one too http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-99wmsmJwc
He was about 5-6 foot.
There are all sorts of wierd and wonderful things that I have yet to do, or just not bothered with. Medieval Knights, sounds fun but not my thing.
Dixie Stampeed always sounded good but looked closed last year.
I have yet to check if the Ron Jon's Surf Beach is completed yet, that sounded awesome! Just going to do the relaxing thing this year, rather than running about all the time.
Wet and Wild will see us there a lot. Will have to do Universal, as its my religion now lol.

Yes Snazy-I remember now, Gatorland was the place, good idea to avoid it, all concrete holes and cages. The place near Kissimmee was quite a reasonable and more natural place for the animals, it was quite small and only worth seeing if you are near it and at a loss for something to do.
I am sure you will not have that problem anyway.
