Disney has a great way of disconnecting one's brain from their wallet. I experienced this first hand when I took my wife and three kids there while at the MLB Winter Meetings. "How much is that Coke?" "Are you kidding?"

When you go look for all inclusive packages so you don't get "nickled" and "dimed" to death. At the Marriott World Center a beautiful hotel they nicked me $8 every time I came and went into the parking lot. The hotel was awesome but I thought that $8 dollar parking deal was nuts!

Let middle school kids know that they can go to the go-kart tracks, putt-putt and bungy jump on the strip and they are ready to go to Panama City also.

And for obvious reasons, my high school kids love Panama City in the summer.

Be very choosy when booking your hotel room. You certainly get what you pay for and there is a wide range in accommodations.

Panama City is called the Redneck Riviera for a reason. You probably don't want your young kids at a hotel where the "redneck" activities are permitted to get out of hand.
