Don't know about going to this...but Lake Buena Vista is pretty much something we always do for some reason...not quite sure. Really just expensive stuff...and it's not like the kids can go to pleasure island. But you can buy disney stuff here. Time would be better spent at a minigolf of amusement park. B

Notes

Magic Kingdom probably the best bet for the whole family.

Epcot would bore the kids probably. Maybe not.

Animal Kingdom may be another good bet.

MGM probably not the best for the kids..too young still.Even though it has the star wars ride and the huge AT-AT

We have a sea world.

And the kids are probably still to young to really appreciate universal.
