Where to go after Florida?

[Peach201]

We are thinking about booking Disney/Florida for 7 days and perhaps doing another 7 days elsewhere.

Looking for recommendations of flights/cruises from Florida/Miami to other areas of US or perhaps Caribbean

We are a family of 5 if that makes a difference (eg not sure if cruises would have room for 5 people). Kids are aged 11, 9 and 5. What are your recommendations please?

Last year we spent 7 days on the gulf coast before we headed to Orlando. We did Anna Maria Island, Naples and Hollywood Beach (Miami). It was beautiful and we had a great time exploring.
Next year we have a weeks cruise booked on the new Icon of the Seas ship, it looks amazing for kids, we can’t wait!

That’s great thanks will have a look. Do cruise ships have rooms for 5?

I’m not sure, we’ve had to book connecting rooms as there’s 6 of us.

We’ve stayed in Clearwater after Orlando before and also gone to The Keys.

The Florida keys are just absolutely stunning and somewhere I would love to go back to. I was about 13 when we went and I still remember if quite clearly.

Could you rent a car and drive down? You could stop somewhere along the way and see The Everglades.

We are leaving Thursday for Universal, after that we are going to do 3 days Coacoa beach, driving across to the Everglades then 5 days Siesta key. I have a thread on it here, it has some great advice on.

I have previously done the other keys, spent a week down in key west. Absolutely amazing.

could you tell me how to find your thread on this please? Thanks
