Besides the Cape, and Disneyworld, what else shouldn't be missed if one is there for a week? Figure a family of four, kids age 11 & 12, and none of us has ever been to Florida before.
Any suggestions about where to fly in and where to stay? Any advice on stuff to avoid or otherwise be wary of?

We've traveled along the coast from Texas to Panama City, Florida (that's as far as we've been east)...I don't remember ever seeing or hearing about a black sand beach. The beaches in this area are beautiful, blinding white sand. I can't seem to find anything online about black sand beaches...please let me know if you remember where or if you are able to find any info...that would be cool!

okay had to call my dad on this one... he said I was confused. We were in the south part of the gulf when we went to the black sand beach THEN we flew to Dallas and picked up the car and drove to FLA where we went to the fine white sand beach so we kids could see the difference. I guess that makes sense because black sand is volcanic right? Not too many volcanos in FL:biggrin: But there are in the caribbean... that isn't THAT far away...

Rats...that would have been great, but I guess I'll try to be satisfied with the pristine white quartz sand beaches...poor, poor, pitiful me!!

Seaworld has a new show with Shamu. It is called Believe and is supposed to be wonderful. I like the sharks tank and the white whales at Seaworld.
The Sea Lions are very very funny. They always have a great show.

I think Sea World is a blast. We went on the Kraken (sp) ride when we were there. I thought I was gonna die. It was so much fun.

We made our trip back in December. A friend went up in Atlantis, and the original nominal launch date was Dec 6. So we went down to Florida for two weeks, arriving the evening of the 4th. It was literally as we got to the front of the line to present our tickets that the first launch was scrubbed.
A few days later they scrubbed the launch 'til January, and then later into February. So we missed that. We had a good time despite that, but there's no denying the fundamental disappointment of missing the launch. We saw a Titan launch from Cocoa Beach, but it's not quite the same.
We rented someone's condo for a week, preceded by 4 nights in a motel, both in Cocoa Beach. After the condo, 3 nights in the Swan at Disney World. Our flights were on Tuesdays, and the condo was a Saturday-to-Saturday lease, hence the patchwork of accommodations.
We took in several wildlife places, the Disney complex, the NASA visitor center, Gatorland, Sea World, Discovery Cove (the kids swam with dolphins), with a few days of lazing in the condo/on the beach interspersed in there. We didn't go much of anywhere outside of a triangle defined by Disney World, Cape Canaveral Nat'l Wildlife Refuge, and Cocoa Beach. That was enough; we really didn't feel much like multi-hour drives when there was more than enough to see and do during the trip.
