Niagra falls 100% like Blackpool with a waterfall

Disney World Orlando.
Thankfully we have relatives in Cocoa Beach so can just take ourselves off there to chill out.

Ditto San Francisco! I've been twice - once in the mid nineties as a solo traveller. I felt it was a bit past its best then. But returned a decade later (hoping for better things) with young family and it felt downright dangerous as well as ruinously expensive

I love the actual falls themselves, been several times, but yeah, the rest is just tacky central. Can't understand anyone who reckons they need more than a couple of hours there.

Key west. It was like Blackpool with sunshine.
After such along drive it was disappointing

Like Blackpool with drainage issues 😂 and a rip off.
