Visiting Orlando in February from Boston was a dream come true.
The temperature in Boston was in the teens (16-20F) our entire
trip. It is also a off season for Orlando with the
exception that some of the East coast school vacations were in
session.
The off season also meant relatively short lines at many
of the attractions. The evenings were a bit cool in the 40's which
meant many of the Floridians were donning heavy coats and sweaters also
the crocodiles were very sedate due to the cool temperatures.

KSC was a good attraction to do once. You need to
plan for it to take most of the day because seeing all of the sites
means traveling and waiting for buses that transport you from site to
site. Several IMAX movies are included in the admission price
which is a great value if you can actually see the ones you like.
So my advice is to plan ahead and make sure you can hit the show times
during the day. The food court is located at the main site (the
entrance) so if you are on the bus track keep in mind the time and
transit so you are not caught far from decent food during the lunch
hour. The eco-exhibit is not that exciting just a homage to the
fact that KSC is surrounded by protected park areas. If you are
into wildlife there are lots of birds around the property so plan on
pulling over to catch some nice photo opportunities.

La Nouba
La Nouba was a great show located at Downtown Disney.
Having seen many Cirque du Soleil shows La Nouba is good but not
tops above "O" or Mystere both of which are in Las Vegas.
La Nouba meaning "to party" had many acts but several stood out
and stole the show. The chinese girls with their yo-yo
spinning tops, mountain bike rider and closing trampoline act.
The transition between acts seems a bit longer than other CdS
shows this may be due to the design of the arena and space to
move acts around. La Nouba fills this time with several
clowns that are like commercials in between acts. The good
seats are about $116, 80, and 65 respectively.
