ORLANDO
So Liz and I took off for a long weekend to Orlando. The deal couldn't be beat which is why we ended up there. $638 USD for flights and hotel (for both of us!).
We hit up disney's animal kingdom, the magic kingdom and universal's islands of adventure theme park which was bloody fantastic.
The highlights were meeting Liz's friend mark, the Everest adventure coaster at animal kingdom, duelling dragons coaster at universal and finally getting on space mountain at disney. I also thouroughly enjoyed splash mountain which had a brier rabbit theme. We went on this one twice!
Anyway on the down side there weren't that many good deals at the Orlando outlet malls, and the planning/design of orland is very much like that of a potemkin village. All facade and no content or character.
That said we did have a lot of fun and hope to go back for more mini golf, the sky diving simulator, air boat rides and other stuff.
Cheers,
P

Sounds like a fun spontaneous trip. Was the Magic Kingdom decorated for Christmas yet? My favourite ride is the Haunted Mansion which they do up in a Nightmare before Christmas theme every Christmas season.
