I have 2 JetBlue vouchers that expire in May.  JetBlue only has a few destinations out of DC, most in Florida, so unless they add some more desirable locations in-between now and then I'll probably go.

I went to Kissimmee once 9 years ago, but it was just after the team had broken camp.  Is there enough to watch to keep you occupied for a full day, or is it only a few hours a day?

I would like to go back. It was fun. This year of course it was cold and rainy but they played anyway. I was weird seeing them play in a different place other than Minute Maid or the Dome.

I'll likely be going.  Can't wait for it either.  I've always wanted to go and finally I have the financial means to be able to.  The people I've talked to said it's pretty fun.  I might also go check out some other nearby teams while I'm at it.  Is there anyone close to Kissimmee that isn't the Braves?

We'll be there!  The wife made her first trip this past March so obviously she'll be back, this time towing our 1 month old baby in an Astros Jumper.  We'll stay near Disney for a week and split time at Osceola and Winter Haven.  Let's plan a OWA gathering somehow down there.

I go most years - took my 4 yr. old son this year.  We saw two games in Kissimmee.  Unfortunately, he got sick at one but we saw one entire game (started by Dave Burba!  That seems like a long time ago).  He got 3 autographs, including two stars of the 18 inning game: Burke and Ausmus.

I love it and can't wait to go again.  Kissimmee is one of the easiest and nicest places to go in FL.
