This is all getting a bit worrying and too repetitive!

Sadly a shooting in the US is hard to link to shootings anywhere else in the world as they are so common. 2 killed in a shooting in Florida is a pretty common occurrence unfortunately.
I'm going Orlando next month and whilst not worried myself this stuff needs to stop.
.
we had heard that the night club gunman had stalked out Disney Springs before targeting the night club. Not sure how true that was though
cheers for your reassurance AMcC.

Lol. I did play golf with a native and he had only recently given up working at Disney. He did say that all their parks are very well patrolled with plain clothed security staff, allegedly doing normal Disney duties but are continually monitoring the area and reporting in plus loads of cctv. He said you would never see them unless you knew what to look for and where to look.
cheers for your reassurance AMcC.

You'll be fine, be vigilant and use common sense. Go and enjoy your holiday, I know I will when I go in September.

whereabouts did you play over there?
Legends at Orange Lakes, was ok but nothing special, greens were pretty poor.
Had 3 games at Celebration, much better course all together, good condition friendly staff as well.
After our first game which we paid $49 for golf, buggies and lunch ! we got a bounce back voucher for a game with 2 weeks at £29, no lunch that time. Just ask the boys who take your clubs off the buggies, they normally have some to give out.
Looking to get a round booked the next couple of weeks, i've heard Orange Lakes isn't as great as its hyped up to be.
Looking in to either Celebration which isn't far from our apartment or one called Royal St.Cloud Golf Links which is highly reviewed!
Royal St Cloud is a good 35 mins+ away, I always tinker with playing it when I go but havent went yet.
Celebration is a nice course but like most Orlando courses it will be wet in August. That said im sure you'll enjoy it.
I should add, don't book just yet, you'll get a deal on golfnow.com nearer the time, even just a day or so before.
staying in Kissimmee mate so only 20 mins ish for us.
I know we'll get good deals but i need a specific tee time due to family itinerary!
I've emailed the pro there so i'm hoping he can do a good deal for me.
If your near Celebration of be surprised if you get close in 20 mins, genuinely.
Where are you staying?
Leave plenty of space in your suitcase and pay a visit to one of the outlet villages. Huge bargains to be had. Stock up for the next few years :thup: . We bought quite a bit but next time I would be more prepared, both in terms of money taken and space in the suitcase.
Have you been to Florida before? Are you doing the parks?
Fantastic. I went two years ago for the first time, aged 44 with my wife and two kids. Best holiday ever. I'm sure you know most of what to do, seen tips etc but the one I would give is to make sure you see the fireworks display at the end of the night at the Magic Kingdom park. It doesn't matter how old you are, it is fantastic and a great way to end a day. (oops, second tip. Go to the Mall at Millenia near the parks and eat at The Cheesecake Factory. Share a main course, huge obviously, and leave space for cheesecake. A pudding from another planet. Totally wonderful and an essential visit made even better if you watch The Big Bang Theory) Enjoy.
