Does anyone have tips for a Florida vacation? We want to do Harry Potter World next summer, so I'm looking for ideas - where to stay, other things to do, etc - from anyone who has been. The last time I went to Disney, we stayed in Kissimee. Someone suggested to me that we stay in St Augustine, but that's further away from everything. I don't mind driving though, obviously, since when we stay in OBX, everything is at least an or two away. I'd like to rent a house for the week, since we're going with family and I'm spoiled and prefer a house to a hotel. I figure we go for a week, that gives us a day for Universal and maybe a day for the Magic Kingdom. I know that my boys would love the make the drive down to Ft Lauderdale to Everglades Holiday Park (big Gator Boys fans in my house). Possibly the space center Cape Canaveral? We visited the fort in St Augustine when I was a kid, so that's a maybe. Opinions/suggestions/thoughts?
