anyone have any ideas of where i can go when i go to orlando.

Besides Epcot Center!!! Never been to Orlando! Maybe someone else will reply. But I know personally from what people have said that Epcot Center is very nice.

Church ST. if your looking for a party place with all the bars/rest

Haven't partied in Orlando much, plus it was quite a while ago, so I'm not sure about the nightlife. The clubs I've been to probably aren't even there anymore.

But if you're looking for entertainment, Medieval Times is pretty cool. My fave theme parks are Epcot, Universal and Islands of Adv. City Walk at Universal is a pretty happenin' place at night.

Now this I can help you with :) --- too bad TS doesn't have an Orlando section ;). City Walk is a must do!! http://www.universalorlando.com/cw_index.html

It can take days to experience the City Walk, and it's worth every minute. (It's not truly part of the park, so there is no admission to the Walk, only individual covers may apply). During the day, you can shop around the complex, wander around the stores and cafes, catch a movie in their huge theatre. At night, the place transforms into a huge party, with street performers, live music, walk up drink stands. Grab a hurricane at Pat O'Briens, wander around and check out Bob Marley's, Margaritaville, the Latin Quarter (one of the restaurants has a tequila menu). For dance clubs, try The Groove; I think they do theme music nights, when we were there it was 80's music. If you are thinking martinis, try Red Coconut, or the Velvet Lounge at the Hard Rock. And check out the cigar bar at Cigarz.

For dining there's a bunch of choices; there's an Emerils, but make reservations!! The PastaMore has wonderful calamari, but not the best Pasta Puntanesca. Nascar cafe (for the redneck in all of us ;) ) is a great lunch... Basketball fans must check out NBA City. Not only is it the best sports bar (note: Basketball only) I've ever seen, the food is unbelieveable. Wander around the floors and learn the history of NBA (and WNBA), watch Hardwood classic games, and shop your favorite team gear in the NBA Store.

Disney has something similar called Pleasure Island, but in all truth after being at City Walk a few nights, we weren't too impressed by PI and didn't spent much time here. If you do go, please let me know what you think!

So how was your trip to Orlando?

My family and I just returned from Orlando yesterday! We did the Universal thing, stayed at the Portofino Bay on the property and had a blast! We've done Disney and Universal now, and I agree Trishben, Citywalk is WAYYYY better than PI... but of course that's an adult viewpoint. I thought Universal was better too -- but again -- it may all seem diff through the eyes of a 7 year old.

Best part of our stay: Portofino was VERY nice, and the express passes meant we never stood in a line for more than 10 minutes.

Welcome back, WWWill... glad you enjoyed your vacation!

Did you do happen to go to SeaWorld? I'm a SeaWorld junkie...

didn't make it to seaworld, we were exhausted.
I wanted to go, but ran out of time ... that's always the way it seems.

Isn't that always the way.... make it by NBA City? I always feel like I'm missing something if I don't get by there, but I'm a basketball junkie...

Got anything fun planned for Vegas?
