Jennifer Hiles says
My kids have never been to Orlando before. We really want to take them someday though. My whole family would love to visit Kennedy Space Center and Seaworld but Walt Disney World is a must for anyone child or adult! I had the pleasure of visiting there several years ago (before I had kids) and I had so much fun. I would love for them to experience the magic too!
