    I'd recommend the 2 universal parks, studios and islands of adventre. They've both got some pretty cool rides...dont just stick with the disney experience :thumb:

    I'm not convinced its worth the patriotic american blinkered eye bullshit you have to sit through before it starts though.

    Having said that they might have discontinued the aren't we the greatest peopel in the world and we can go kill anyone we like especially muslim crap before hand now that the "war on terror" is going not so well.

    Its been absolutely years since i last went (the tower of terror had only just been built!) but there are loads of places you need to visit! (That is, if they even still exist).
    Everyone does the parks but there are still quite a few places worth seeing that not everyone bothers with:
    Disney village/disney ..nightclub land?? - i cant remember the name of the night time thing but its like a little village full of bars and clubs that are all differently themed, like 60's /70's etc.
    Ripleys beleive it or not museum - Its not like a normal museum its full of things to mess around with and interesting illusions
    King henrys feast / buffalo bills wild night out - These are both themed nights out, its basically a meal (delicious!) and a show rolled into one. If you've never been to one before they are amazing!

    'Pleasure Island' I think is the name you're looking for ^^

    I'm back

    I think icey means downtown disney??

    Whoever it was is right about the shamu show....it's been changed and now it's all bullshit and mainly you're watching the fancy moving screens rather than whales. And they don't do much now. I'd just go once or twice to say you've done it, but it's not as good.
    Oh and they're into doing this salute thing now to the american army and their allies.

    But personally i think seaworlds one of the best. And discovery cove over the road is fantastic. I swam with dolphins :) But there's like a big coral reef thing that you can snorkel in and it's full of tropical fish and rays and stuff. And a big warm pool too. It's expensive but worth it, everythings included.

    ITs got to be Grandpa Shamu now, I doubt he can do muchn anyways. He's probably dead and they just keep replacing him like a classroom pet.

    Don't bother with either tbh. Its not as if they're exclusive to america and there are plenty of other nice restaurants to try that are.
    Try red lobster, wendys, popeyes (last two only fast food but its still nice!), or one of the theme nights as i mentioned before.
    imo hard rock cafe and planet hollywood, although they are nice and the food is pretty decent, its very over priced for what you get and its just the same as eating in the london (or anywhere else in the worlds') restaurants.

    i just have never been to a hard rock cafe or planet hollywood before maybe its worth going just to see it?

    anyone been to the arabian nights meal?? oh and was looking at the rainforst cafe but its expensive.

    we were gonna go to the arabian nights meal but went to the pirates one instead. It was good. But kinda annoying as you have to cheer and stuff while you're trying to eat.

    Hard Rock Cafe and Planet Hollywood are definately not worth bothering with unless you happen to be really hungry and standing next to one of them - think generic tacky overpriced crap food.

    The red lobster on the other hand is great - I won't hear another word said against it.

    And also go to celebration its really nice.

    And don't eat at the cuban restaurant at downtown disney as its really crap - however I've heard the Dolly Parton evening out is an experience!

    hope you enjoy yourself...... If u do go to international drive I suggest Friendlys burger place. The burgers in there are absolutly massive. They are that big that they have to stick an extra extra large toothpick style thing in it to hold it together.

    I dont know if its still there but if it is, Its got a big red and white roof and I think its top notch.

    iv not read all of this thread so sorry if i repeat anything.

    I worked at disney world in florida this past summer so know quite a bit if you wanna ask me any specific questions!!

    go to guest services at each of the parks and tell them its your birthday. they'll give you a happy birthday badge (there's a different one for each park) and if they dont ask for one!!

    When you wear the badge, alot of the Cast members willsay happy birthday etc.

    If you book a restaurant tell them its your birthday when you book and when they arrive. I had my birthday out there and at the meal they gave me a birthday card signed by the Fab Five and a few other characters, and also a little birthday cake.

    I recomment the liberty tree tavern in the magic kingdom. Its a character meal and costs about $30 but the food its good... its a buffet brought to your table with a couple of types of meat and vegetables and for desert apple pie and ice cream in a big dish and you help yourself! if you manage to finish off what you are given then you can ask for some more!!

    I got back last week,
    it was magical!

    i went to the rain forest cafe that was great really impressed, hardrock cafe and plant hollywood were overated but still good coz i havnt been there before.

    well i wore my badge on my birthday and got loads of people saying happy birthday which made me smile! also my first visiters badge was great, before i got on the mono rail someone said " have a nice first visit" and oh that really made my day.
    also i had a big surprise on my birthday ( i had no idea at all) i was taken to cinderellas royal table and my boyfriend got down on one knee and asked me to marry him!!!!!!! it was just after the fireworks finished and the ring came in a glass slipper engraved in our names and date on it. A wonderful day i will never forget.
    i must say .....everyone at the park were really helpful and nice.

    i really enjoyed being a big kid! i meet cinderella and snow white! and loved universal and all the disney parks! oh and sea world!

    LOVED IT! didnt want to come home.
    :heart:
