Why do so many people go to Florida for spring break and not Hawaii or California Options

[JerzDevil]

I don't get it because IMO, florida isn't really a good spring break vacation place. it's spring, and it has good chances of getting rain and thunder there because it's all the way in southeast (especially the miami area/bahamas) etc .... there's really no good places to visit there. in california, you get the hot/warm weather in the day and when you get tired of it, just wait till night, you'll get the cool breeze ... and there are more tourist attractions there. same thing with hawaii.

^ I bet it was REALLY crowded though. I live around there, and refuse to go. I cant handle waiting two hours to get on a ride. Disney is really not a good idea - especially the Magic Kingdom.

Hope ya had fun though! Besides the crowdedness, its really fun.

yes it was fun and actually, it wasn't that bad for the waits (although it was crowded). we fastpassed many rides and did EVERYTHING we wanted to do. we had circled things on the map we wanted to see and we got to do everything. the longest wait we had was for splash mountain and that was only an hour. we even got to see space mountain (and skipped out on a 110 minute standby wait) in the same day - most people advise you to do space mountain on one and splash mountain on another. our waits for other rides ever got past 45 minutes. don't refuse to go!!! disney is great even if it's crowded. you just have to be smart about the lines even if it's during high season.

universal on the other hand was mayhem. the rides were great but definitely not worth the 45+ minute waits. universal's fastpass/express thing is kinda stupid. for 50 bucks, you get to fast pass both Studios and Islands of Adventure but it's 40 bucks for one park!!! at islands, I only got to go on three rides. and two were water rides and it was like 40 degrees. i was freezing.

Really? I've always had better luck at Universal (Islands of Adventure). It seems like the other Disney parks, like Epcot and MGM are way less crowded than Magic Kindgom. I dont think I've been to the Magic Kingdom in at least 5-6 years. Most of the people I know never ever go to Disney... because of how crowded it gets, even on weekdays. Most of the people around here usually go to Busch Gardens instead. It's never crowded. I think the longest I've EVER waited to get on a ride is maybe 20-25 minutes. Most of the rides you have less than a 5 minute wait, even on the roller coasters.

It sounds like you got lucky though! I'm glad you had fun.
