what of
holes in the walls kinds of places that aren't on the Disney
A list types of public places ?

Although not technically a space thing, the highlight of my trip to
Florida last spring was a joy ride in a WW-II training aircraft, a North
American AT-6. Despite never having touched a control stick, they had me
flying wing-overs, loops and other aerobatics within minutes of taking
off. See http://www.warbirdadventures.com/ for details.

If you do this, get the pictures. $20 for a short roll of film may seem
steep, but the pictures are worth a lot more than what they cost.

We started to do a Cuban Eight, but my stomach started complaining.
Rather than getting airsick, we did some simple stable flying for a bit
and I got in the pattern to land behind, so help me, a P-51. (The real
pilot took over all the controls at this point.)

If you've got the bucks, you can have a joyride in that P-51 from the
same airport: http://www.stallion51.com/home.cfm

At the same airport is a fascinating museum that restores old airplanes:
http://www.warbirdmuseum.com/. This alone is worth the trip from Disney
World.

To get back on-topic: go to MGM/Disney and ride Tower of Terror. Short
of renting the Vomit Comet, it is the best way most of us will have to
experience Zero-G.

Disney and Universal have something called Express Pass -- use it or
spend hours waiting in line. Better yet, get and read The Unofficial
Guide to Disney World. Follow its advice and save many many hours of
waiting in line. I went to Universal's Men In Black ride and saw the
sign that said the queueing time was two hours. Ninety minutes later,
following the book's advice, I had ridden the ride three times!
