If I go to Panama City Beach and stay there then how long will it take me to get to one of the major theme parks in Florida? For instance Disney Land or Island of Adventures. Also, will it cost me a arm and a leg to get in these parks? I ask this because I don't want to go to Florida for a stinking beach. This will be my firts trip to the state and I wanna have fun, not wasteing my time on some beach. So, please answer and thank you in advance.
Its about a 6-7 hour drive, depending on trafic and how fast you drive. Its about $50 to get into each park.
You can get into BGT, SWO, IOA, and USF for 14 consecutive days for $200.

I wouldn't exactly call a vacation on a beach a "waste of time." Last fall, I went to Florida and I stayed at Clearwater Beach. I was really only looking forward to the part of the trip where we went to the amusement parks. Beleive me, the beach is really fun. After a few days, it does get a little boring though.
From PCB, you're virtually standing on top of Miracle Strip Amusment park....nice collection of flats, good John Allen woodie (hand brakes), a shiny new S&S tower, and a new Reverchon spinning coaster.....
