Orlando is fun, despite:
1. The sweltering heat - my family likes to go as close to the equator as possible during the hottest times of the year, as exemplified by our vacation choices for the past few years: Taiwan, Hawaii, the Bahamas.
2. Exhorbitant ticket prices - we have spent over $2,000 on entry fees so far to visit three Disney Parks + Sea World + Universal Studios. That could have been another vacation... to a less sweltering destination.
3. Masses of vacationers - who not only seem large in quantity but also in their size.
A few more days to go and back to normalcy in New York. What strikes me most here is not the shows, music or attractions - it is the sheer number of shops within the theme parks. The last time I saw these many things on sale, I think I was standing on Wall Street. OOHHHH! The commercialism drives me a little nuts, but for the sake of those traveling with me, I refrain from complaining about it...too much.
