Shame about the French toast but the rest looks lovely. You can see from the picture there is no cinnamon. Love the last picture of Steve. In all honesty when you said it was 8 years ago you last visited I thought really...... have I been reading Gina's reports for that long! It doesn't really seem that long ago
I know! Hard to believe our first Orlando trip was almost 10 years ago . As the old saying goes, time flies when you're having fun .
I used to love the Cracker Barrel, but it seems like their quality has diminished over the past few years. I do still love their Cornbread, though. I am enjoying the Gatorland write up. We have quite a few alligators where I live, so I don't know if I would pay money to see them!
I'm not sure I've ever had their corn bread . Always their biscuits!
I can totally see Gatorland holding little to no appeal for those from the southern states.....we feel the same way about Blizzard Beach (why would we want to go somewhere "snowy" ... even fake snowy! ... when we have way too much of the real thing?). Definitely not too many gators in our neck of the woods, though one was recently discovered in Lake Michigan:

Pretty sure he wasn't there "naturally", though .
Hi Gina thanks and I will ask any questions I need too. I was thinking that this trip report will be exactly what I need to help plan. I am interested in Gator Land also, I have heard good things about it. I won't make it there this trip but will put it in the idea basket.
Gatorland is a fun park day without the chaos of the bigger theme parks. Definitely keep it as a possibility for a future trip . It's worth a visit!
While I agree that Gatorland's train isn't a must do, I do hope you tried the new swamp buggy ride. It's silly but a lot of fun!
We didn't do the swamp buggy this time.....I asked Steve if he was interested, but we did the Adventure Hour instead. Sounds like we have a reason to go back again, then .
I need to visit Gatorland someday! I still have never gone
Really? Grab those fun friends of yours and plan a visit! It's a cute day out . Though living in Florida, gators aren't really novel to you, either, like they are to us.
That is so funny. Our family always has savoury French toast with butter and salt and pepper and spices. Cinnamon, yuck.
I've never heard of it being served savory before . Perhaps its a regional delicacy? Maybe I should have skipped the syrup and tried it your way!
Yep- love Kohl's!! I have some Kohl's cash to spend this weekend!!
Love the Gatorland pictures! We've never been there! We're not gator fans(they are terrifying!!), but I think we'd enjoy a visit nonetheless. Seems like a fun place!
Patty, did you get your socks?? I hope so!
I'm poised to drop some serious $$$ when Kohl's Black Friday sale starts tomorrow . I plan to be up early to get my order in before I go to work!
Gatorland has helped me learn to appreciate those jawsome creatures. I've always been quite fascinated by them, though, and am incredibly intrigued by their behavior. You'll have to give the park a try sometime!
Gatorland looks like it would be right up my kids alley. I would imagine it's a half day park?
Depending on the season you visit, you could probably make it a fairly full day if you wanted . They have some fun features that kids would love to spend some significant time in: a water/splash pad, the train rides (which are unlimited when you purchase a ride pass), a petting zoo, and several really great shows. Add in the gator areas and you could easily spend 6 hours if you wanted. There's more to enjoy there than you think!
