I hear ya! Oh-- we used to have fun staying there as a kid!!! It wasn't a trip to Disney without a stop at South of the Border (plus all of the signs)--- we stayed there once, but made sure to at least stop each time. I just talked to my dad, and he told me to avoid it now(he's also over-protective with me and the boys though, I think it comes with being a Philly police officer for 35 years). Thanks though!!!! I used to love South of the Border--- they had cool little rides there!

I actually think we're gonna stay (like Rob said) in Florence, SC on the way home. But I think on the way down-- we're gonna try to get into Georgia (maybe Savannah area) or maybe even cross into Florida, so we only have 5-6 hour drive the second day (I want to do the Candlelight Processional Package that day, since it's the final day for it).
