Been out to florida and miami, good stuff really, only real pain in the ass is the fucking flight.
Even with the extra leg spacing on virgin, 6 foot 3-4 does go down well as your legs are from the back of the chair to the from, you're virutally wedged.
Heres what we do, we rent a villa in florida for 2-3 weeks, and just do shopping at wall mart. We get tickets for the theme parks, this year only doing select ones for the rides, once you've done them once its really a drag trying to go round them all again.
It will be sunny all the time up till 3pm in the afternoon most days, at which point it will thunderstorm, Very cool ones too  . It normally brightens back up by 5-6 pm and is a lovely evening 
Only thing is they are ment to have something like 20 odd hurrcaines between now and november.

I know Richie has flown first class, i think id be ok as id probably just try and sleep
I am scared of flying thou, stupid as it sounds going to Zante packed into economy wasnt particually nice the holiday was brilliant but i dreaded the flights, whenever we got turbulance i could feel myself getting upset and embarrased because i had people next to me
At least with first hopefully ill be so happy im sat there sipping on my drink relaxing in my comfy seat not to panic too much like i usually do

Best things about flying first class are the champagne and strawberries before take off, and the in flight gaming system! You can challenge anyone on the plane to a game, I played battleships against a 12 year old boy in economy and whooped his ass so many times!

Yeah flying from Cardiff. Its the only way to do it really as its only an hour away from Swansea where Gatwich is at least 3. You do pay more for the privilage though, it added about £350 to the total cost of our holiday.

don't waste the money on the flights. Just get the cheapest flight and use the money towards something else over there.
You could always get totally wasted before the flight and sleep the whole way?

I've been twice and it is well worth the money (definately go to seaworld). However, they are really strict on age over there. You wont be able to go to any bars/clubs until you are 21yrs. I went when I was 20 and had a child mark stamped on my hand when I went to plant hollywood  Also we had a 7 day disney pass and didnt use it completely so I would go for a 3-5 day pass

Your have a great time. Also at some parks they give you a free pass to come back within 7 days. Sea World are know to do this. Sea World is amazing.
