The Infinitely Prolonged
I am setting up some plans to visit some of the theme parks in Orlando, the week or so before TAM 5.5, with some of my Floridian friends. And, I might be able to drag along some of my New York friends, as well.
Would any JREFers like to join us?
The Parks:
I've already been to all the major Orlando theme parks, a bunch of times, so I am not terribly picky on where we go: The parks of Walt Disney World, Universal Orlando, SeaWorld, etc.
The only park I simply must visit, again, is Disney's Animal Kingdom. Last time I was there, the Everest ride was still under construction.
My other favorites: Disney/MGM Studios, Epcot, and Universal's Islands of Adventure.
Of course, Epcot usually has the best science-based attractions of all the parks.
The Hotels
If I get enough people, we might be able to rent a block of rooms at an Orlando hotel for a group-rate discount.
I think I might prefer to stay on Disney property myself (some of their hotels are quite reasonably priced, nowadays), but if others object to this, I suppose I wouldn't mind staying somewhere else.
Possible Travel Idea to Fort Lauderdale
There is a chance I might rent a car, and if so, I might be able to offer a ride down to Fort Lauderdale, in time for TAM 5.5, or other pre-TAM 5.5 activities going on down there.
Maybe.
Join us! Have some harmless, fantasy-based fun, before stepping back into the harsh realities of Skeptical Activism!
