We were thinking of going over to the gulf, since nobody in my family has ever seen the Fla west coast from the ground. Keeping in mind that we'll need to drive back to Orlando for the flight home, what would you suggest? I was thinking of trying to mooch a free meal at Electromethod's restaurant, but aside from that, I'm wide open.

Ideally, I'd be looking for a 2-bedroom suite to handle the 4 of us, so if anyone can recommend a property, appreciate it.

Also, since it's been about 7 years since the last ill-fated Disney adventure, anything new worth seeing there?
The Expedition Everest (Animal Kindgom) is worth the wait most definately. Are you staying in the parks? In terms of rides I prefer Universal, but if you don't have a rental car you're stuck. There's also some new dinosaur restaurant that just opened in Downtown Disney.-kids liked it.

If you have, or know someone who has timeshare properties try Sannibel island (I don't recall seeing many hotels if at all there). Peaceful, quiet, little to no traffic. There's also a great Hyatt resort in Fort Myers - The Hyatt bonita Springs - which is really relaxing.
