They'll have to take my laptop (and a bar of chocolate) out of my cold dead hand someday, I fear!

On a recent visit, inspired by cheap airfare, we found that price tags were lower than those of Miami, from drinks to transportation. While you can find excellent restaurants (Fort Lauderdale was recently added to Michelin coverage), posh hotels, and lively nightlife, it’s a more low-key feel. “Even the luxury side feels more casual here,” says Ebony Tyre, PR manager for Visit Fort Lauderdale . “It’s a calmer vibe.

We heard the shrieks for Shrek long before we entered the recently opened DreamWorks Land at Universal Orlando Resort . The place was buzzing with little tots. The make-believe trolls — Dopp, Tiny, and the twins, Satin and Chenille — twirled, climbed, and dipped on the Trolls Trollercoaster; kids lined up to talk with Po on a digital screen, and to learn a few of his kung fu moves, and played in Shrek’s Swamp for Little Ogres.
