@MDB111™ if you're planning on hitting Universal again with the family, VelociCoaster is opening in June. Thing looks awesome. Although I'm sure the wait times are gonna be stupid for at least the first several months.
Just to follow up on this. Went to Islands of Adventure yesterday and they were doing test runs on the new coaster. Thing looks bad ass.

I don't know what this means.

Is this where I insert an image of a troll face with a hehateme hat and a CCS microphone?
There was a big kerfuffle from an op Ed in some Florida newspaper about Disney wokeness losing a customer this week.

So how warm is it in March? Son wants to do Disney. I know the waterparks are open year round but are they going to freeze to death?

March is kind of a crap shoot. Some days definitely in the 80s, but we usually have a few cold fronts come through that drops us into the 60s for a few days. Most of the water parks are heated.

Someone just told them March is the least busy. I know the parks are heated but to jump outa the water into a 60 degree wind would be brutal IMO

March is a decent time to come, but can still be busy. I'd say late Sep through the beginning of Nov is probably the least busy, and it's usually consistently warm that time of year.

Edit - hurricanes could impact this if you're unlucky.

Does orlando still have that strip club called the booby trap that looked like tits.

Since the resident expert passed, I had to google it out of curiosity. BTW I give it at 2 out of 5 Stars. However, My rating may be skewed as I only visited once back in the day and was not impressed by the menu selection.

Apparently it was torn down

Yeah. Winter Park is a pretty wealthy area, surprised this place lasted as long as it did.

Winter Park pro-travel tip. Bunch of good restaurants down there along Park Ave. Prato, Bosphorus, etc. Also take the boat tour.

I'd also add to this to lose the furry fozzy costume.
Florida is hot and it's a weird bag baby.
