I have been to Luray Caverns several times in my life, and they are always very impressive, but the price continues to creep up. $23 per adult is a little steep, so use your Giant Bonuscard if you have one to save $11.50 on one adult admission.

We were just there at the end of July 2011, and they used a guided tour. The headsets were only given to those who would rather hear the tour in a different language.

You walk about 1.25 miles while down there, but it is not too difficult. Most of the time you are on a flat, brick pathway. There is lots to see, and my 5-year old was never bored.

Your admission ticket includes entry to the antique car museum, which is pretty cool, and another museum that focuses on early farm life (just so-so, no interactive exhibits). At the farm museum you can mine for gems and fossils at $7 per bag. It looks like they are building another section that is not ready yet.

There is also a giant hedge maze, but we didn't go into that.

I definitely recommend Luray Caverns for a good family activity. Bring a light sweater or jacket if you get cold easily because it is a constant 52 degrees down there.

We just at at T-Rex for the first time and highly recommend it. As others have said, the food is pricey, but you are paying for the atmosphere. We sat in the "ice cave," which turns colors from purple to blue every few minutes. There are giant animatronic dinosaurs everywhere as well as wooly mammoths. A meteor shower happens every 20 minutes or so.

This is owned by the same folks who do Rainforest Cafe, but I think is just a touch nicer than Rainforest. There is a dinosaur fossil dig section outside of the gift shop where kids can unearth pretend fossils. You can build your own dinosaur as well.

This is the kind of place that makes you want to splurge and blow your whole budget while visiting Orlando. For example, the alcoholic drinks cost $13 but come in Very Cool glasses that you can keep. (I got a less expensive, non-alcoholic drink in a giant dinosaur foot). Some of the glasses even lit up and sparkled!

If you stay at a hotel in the Downtown Disney vicinity, they will give you a coupon book with a coupon for this restaurant good through the end of 2011. Book early through Disney's reservation system (407/WDW-DINE) to obtain a reservation.

I agree with what others have said... when the meteor shower happens, small children may be frightened of all the noise and movement. But my 4-year old loved it.

My 3-year old daughter sat through this show completely fascinated. It is such a spectacle of bright colors and amazing special effects, done in true Disney style.

Before the show begins, kids will enjoy searching for Nemo, who appears in various bubbles periodically on the left and right sides of the stage. Then the performance begins. At first, it is a little disconcerting because you can see the puppeteer dressed in black, standing right next to Nemo (or whichever character he is manipulating), and the puppeteer is obviously using his voice to make the character speak (not like a ventriloquist, who tries to hide the fact that his mouth is moving). But a few minutes into the show, you simply get caught up in the amazing theatrical performance and forget all about the puppeteers even being there.

This show is truly Not To Be Missed when you are at the Animal Kingdom. Do whatever you have to do to arrive early and get a good seat. You and your children will be very glad you did!

I just wasn't that impressed with Old Town. The area is getting a little seedy and the rides seemed cheesey - sort of like a miniature Las Vegas/carnival style. It's a lot of glitz and glamour at night, with big flashy lights, a huge ferris wheel and one of those Sling Shot rides where you're dropped suddenly from a great height. There are go-karts, a carousel and a teacup ride, as well as some shops and restaurants.

On weekends, they host some antique and specialty car shows, so the streets will be very crowded, and Thursday nights are motorcycle night. Weekends also feature bands and live entertainment, so it gets a little noisy.

Yes, there are some rides for young children, but when I was in Kissimmee, I just didn't want to expose my 4-year old child to this type of environment (older kids will probably love it). If you do decide to go, definitely look around in advance for money-saving coupons. You can find them in the local tourist guides, brochures and magazines.

If you've never eaten at a Rainforest Cafe before, your first time will be magical. This one is located just outside the gates of Disney's Animal Kingdom. You are supposed to have a reservation, but we just walked in after a long day at the park (in early December) and were seated with just a short wait.

The atmosphere at this restaurant is amazing. There are huge aquariums brimming with sea life. There are jungle creatures, lush plants and vines, rocks, etc. Every 15 minutes or so, the animals "come alive" as a "thunderstorm" washes over the cafe, complete with lightning and a mist of water. (As a previous reviewer noted, very small children may be scared by the lightning and thunder.) Near the section where we were sitting, the monkeys/gorillas started beating their chests and making monkey sounds. Each episode only lasts a few minutes, but it is a very unique atmosphere that most kids (and parents) will love. Bring your camera!

The food, in my opinion, was quite good, and generous portions were served. I had no problems with the wait staff. It is a very busy place, and you can drop a lot of money here, but when you are vacationing at Disney, it's all worth it.

Oh, and by the way, there is a large gift shop that you cannot avoid. Good luck getting out of there without buying the kids something!
