Can you imagine working the drive-through window of a Brevard County McDonald's, when a limo pulls up, the darkened rear window rolls down and Whitney Houston reaches for your burgers?

Houston and Bobby Brown surprised and delighted fans across Central Florida while vacationing here for a long weekend. They spent Friday at Universal's Islands of Adventure with daughter Bobby Christina and Brown's look-a-like son, Landon.

"If she had been out there by herself with that hat pulled down and those skinny legs, she would have been harder to spot," said Kissimmee's Sherry McFadden, who was at Islands of Adventure with her kids, Chelsea and Joshua. "But with Bobby and the kids -- you just knew it was them."

She said the two singing stars signed autographs and posed for photos -- more so for the younger ones who asked -- until such a crowd formed that they had to move on.

Friday night, the couple stunned R&B's Gap Band and the throngs who gathered for its Mardi Gras concert at Universal Studios Florida. Houston and Brown not only went on stage to be introduced and hug the band members, but they sang with them.

"My knees were just shaking. It was so cool," said Patsy Bouzianis of Sanford. "Everyone just went nuts"!
