Kiss Me in Kissimmee

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Kissimmee Tourism. All opinions are 100% mine.

As my loyal Roxiticus Desperate Housewives readers know, I think New Jersey is a terrific place to live...except maybe in February. Rex, London, Maddie and I like to get away to someplace warm and sunny during the worst of the snow and cold; in the past, we've taken 10 days and travelled to the West Coast. However, as the girls begin third and fourth grade, taking a week off from school is not as sensible as it used to be, so we're thinking about sticking to the East Coast and taking off only the MTES-authorized Presidents' Day long weekend this year.

As much as London and Maddie love Disneyland in Anaheim, California, our family has never been to DisneyWorld in Florida (I went with my parents when I was a kid), and from what our friends tell us, Kissimmee is theme park heaven. On top of the DisneyWorld Magic Kingdom, there's Epcot (pictured above), as well as Disney's Animal Kingdom, and Disney's Hollywood Studios.

If we didn't use up our entire long weekend there, check out the image on the right of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Islands of Adventure. London and Maddie would just love it!

Later in the day, we've heard that Old Town, a shopping, dining, and entertainment complex, is the place to be. After all the day's excitement, we can relax over dinner before heading back to our room at Disney's All Star Music Resort.
