It was too hot for us but we made the most of it. Luxury resorts and huge dinners made up for the evil temperatures. We didn't bimble around the theme parks too much on account of the heat and we hid in air conditioned cinemas and shopping malls. I noted from my sun-lounger-by-the pool that Prince Naseem has gained a lot of weight since giving up boxing. We ate at Taco Bell but balanced this 'shame' by also eating at The Brown Derby. The famous gospel brunch at the House of Blues was just awful (the cajun cooking was delicious but the preaching made me sick). Why don't they just stick to singing and not keep yelling at me "let Jesus in, brother, let Jesus in!" (I don't even let my husband in never mind Jesus). We went to a David Copperfield show and I'm going to blow my tiny amount of street cred by saying that it was a stunning piece of theatre (he did stuff that only Satan could copy and left me slack jawed). The new Disney rollercoaster at Animal Kingdom is a work of art and we got to ride it twice before lunch on the first day. The ride itself, the queueing area and the section of the park in which it is housed is exquisitely themed as only Disney can do(see link to pics below). By the third day we had a little routine worked out; wake, swim, brew coffee and make toast, watch two episodes of The Golden Girls on telly, dress, visit a theme park, make dinner reservations somewhere, head back to the hotel, swim, dress for dinner, eat dinner, watch CNN in bed, fall asleep, repeat. We went to see the film about flight 93 and it was brilliant. We also saw Mission Impossible and Silent Hill but they were just ok. We went to Perkins one afternoon for apple pie a la mode and we were cruised by two deaf guys. One of them winked at me and licked his lips lasciviously (this is sign language for "I wanna suck you off"). They got the cold shoulder from us and I went back to my pie. We went back the next day but they didn't show.
