Erik & Smisty's Florida OddventuresHoly Land! - Page 114Users viewing this topic: No registered users and 2 guests Erik & Smisty's Florida OddventuresAloha! Erik and Smisty here. You may remember us from such threads as Erik & Misty's Smoky Mountain Adventures. Or perhaps some of our other trip reports, from places like Cedar Point, Busch Gardens Williamsburg, Indiana Beach, or Holiday World. I think it's safe to say, however, that this thread is destined to surpass all of those--to become, you might say, the ultimate expression of our Erik & Smisty-ness.
At the beginning of February, 2010--in search of warmer weather and even more touristy stuff to do--we moved from Pigeon Forge, Tennessee to Orlando, Florida.

![]() I'm so happy you choose to start the thread again in Florida. The Smoky Mountains thread was amazing and I'm sure this one will be even better! Re: Erik & Smisty's Florida OddventuresAs amusement resorts go, Walt Disney World is big. Really big. Sure, there are the theme parks. But there are also water parks, miniature golf, actual golf, hotels, restaurants, stores, sports complexes, and lots and lots of trees, water, and roads separating them all. WDW even has its own fire station. It also has Downtown Disney, which is a collection of specialty shops, restaurants, theaters, and empty buildings that used to be nightclubs--as well as a strange little attraction that really wouldn't fit into any of the existing theme parks:

Re: Erik & Smisty's Florida OddventuresGreat to see you guys back with a new thread! Looking forward to this one.
Thanks as always for your support!!! --Robb "Would you like a regular column in our Club TPR publication?" Alvey ![]() Re: Erik & Smisty's Florida Oddventures
Thanks! Yes, we've both lived in Orlando before (just not together), and we both have family here.
Well, since I have almost no idea what that might entail...yes! ![]() Erik Allen Elness
