i don't gamble so i think the day trip would be good for me....

i think the airport option is definitely good....will have to check if kingfisher has a counter at the train station....

this would have been a great option if we were going to disney from the w....but good to know....

everyone i have spoken with has suggested a day trip....i think we would probably get bored if we were staying longer....thanks for the opinion....
