Hi everyone !
I just joined this forum and would like inputs from you folks ...
We/I went to Florida 3 times (wife twice and kids once in 2009) but it was basically confined to Disney, Universal (kids & wife never did), International drive area (kids never did) so we are planning to visit Universal, Islands of Adventure, and perhaps a couple of other theme parks this 2 weeks.
We would also like to do some shopping. I heard Florida Mall but would like to know more about shopping (outlet malls, great sales, boxing day/week sales ...)
Since we will be in the Orlando area for 2 weeks, we would like to know where else to go ? I had been to the International drive area in Orlando (wife and I), the Tampa area (all 4 of us but for just a few hours), SW Fl (Fort Myers, Naples, all 4 of us for 2 days) and Kennedy Space Centre, Fort Lauderdale (wife and I).
Our itinerary:
(1) Must do: Universal and Islands of Adventure (2 days each theme park or 1 day each theme park enough ?) Please comment !
(2) Must do (shopping): 1 day ? 2 days ? Which outlet malls or other malls ? Please comment !
(3) International drive area: Is it a must do for kids ?
(4) Remaining days: WHERE TO GO ? Other theme parks ? Please comment !
Any input is appreciated !
Thank you !
