Sounds familiar. I know we went somewhere for a drive through safari when I was a little kid in the 70's. I always thought it was Great Adventure, but it could have been there. I just remember being scared.
Just saw Steve's post.
There are all kinds of things to do outside of going to the parks. There is, of course, Disney Springs. Offsite there is Gatorland, There is an airplane Museum in Kissimmee, along 192 are a plithery of mini golf and gift shops as well. There used to be a huge flea market just to the east of WDW and next door helicopter tours as well. International Drive has all kinds of novelty things. Most have fees but compared to WDW they are practically paying you to go there. Just to the west few miles away is Bok Tower. I loved it and all it was is a simple nature park with a very fancy bell tower that has scheduled concerts during the day. I just found it to be another world. It was quiet, and restful. I even fell asleep while sitting on a bench under a live oak and Spanish moss. Going south on 27 there is a candy shop that specializes in Florida citrus related candy, but also chocolate. A little further south is a huge orange processing plant. I think it has tours as well, but all I needed was to drive past it and smell the orange blossoms and processing.
Kennedy and the Disney outlet stores are always on our to do list in Orlando
Thank you for your suggestions. I forgot about Bok Tower. I will have to see if they are open. Had considered NASA, but not sure I want to take the drive. I will go on Google Earth and check our route 27. I think if I go to Legoland my son will have a fit.
Kennedy is worth the drive IMHOThank you for your suggestions. I forgot about Bok Tower. I will have to see if they are open. Had considered NASA, but not sure I want to take the drive. I will go on Google Earth and check our route 27. I think if I go to Legoland my son will have a fit.
I understand about the driving, but I have never found the trip over to Cape Canaveral terribly stressful. Just take the Beach Line (used to be the Bee Line) which was far more clever a name. Traffic isn't bad once you get out of Kissimmee/Orlando and past the Airport. It's a toll road, there are other ways to get there, when I get a chance I'll see if I can find an alternative route.Thank you for your suggestions. I forgot about Bok Tower.

It's not that I can't tell the difference. Obviously they look nothing alike. I just don't know which name belongs with which actor. So like, the movie Matilda, for example....I know it's the short bald guy with an Italian name....but which one of the Italian names is the short bald guy?
@King Raccoon 77 doesn't have to worry in Door County. The Bayside Tavern is less than 4 miles from a state park that has 3,776 acres. That park has different animals including Racoons and @King Raccoon 77 would be right at home

Right in the Goofy!
Out of curiosity, is the town helping cover the improvements? I'm thinking TIF, rebate program, facade program, anything like that? Cause if they are recovering cost from the updates AND charging you for that as well... nice profit for them.
Don’t know. Emailed owner a few hours ago to set up a time to talk rather than email. The whole thing has me on edge.
Call townhall, and ask to speak to someone in economic development. They should be able to tell you if it is a property in some sort of TIF, rebate, anything that would help cover construction, updates, facade.

DeNiro on the left... DeVito (short bald guy) on the right.
she's surely been told before which one is which. They're not memorable enough characters for her. That's on them.
