Things to do in Florida April 1, 2, 3, 2011

There's a bunch of Things to do in Florida April 1, 2, 3, 2011 - but what if it rains? Rain in the SUNSHINE STATE,... how could that be?? Well at the time of this posting the weatherman says no, but after Monday's non-stop drizzle in the central part of the state it must at least be considered a possibility. Yes it does rain even in Orlando but judging from the crowd at Islands of Adventure, even rainy days on Mondays don't get Florida tourists down. Armed with umbrellas and Harry Potter Panchos (say that three times fast), they looked like wandering droves of white dementors but everyone vowed to have a good time even if it required gillyweed to do it (Potter joke). The old theme park wizard himself, Walt Disney somehow knew how to bring out the kid in us with other parks like Universal fashioning their own spin on the same formula. But even if the things you plan to do in Florida April 1, 2, 3, 2011 have nothing to do with a theme park or sampling a mug of Butter Beer, if it rains just try to take it like a kid - like those drowned rats skipping through the puddles at Islands of Adventure with Luna Lovegood expressions on their faces. (OH,..READ THE BOOKS!) And while your reading, here are some other things you might like to do in Florida April 1, 2, 3, 2011.
