yep i've been last couple of years.

try the following restaurants, you may have to do a bit of travelling for your nearest, but they are worth it!!

Sam Seltzers
Lee Roy Selmons
Cody's Roadhouse.

amazing food at all three!!

sounds like yopu will be in the orlando area.

plenty to do.

OUTBACK for great steaks

waterparks are excellent

if possible try and avaid International Drive, it gives a poor display of what Orlando is really like. I'm not saying it's bad, but there are better places if you get the choice.

SEAWORLD is great, very interesing and we never get tired of going

The Space Center is also worth a visit.

From a 'car guy' point oif view, downtown on a saturday night is good

Find a 'Golden Corral' Restaurant

All you can eat $15 and loads of Fat Americans in there, gives you a taste of REAL america!!
(Food is mint though)

HI Robert

We were there last July - it was stunning (and too fucking hot for me!)

Right now a great time to be going due to the exchange rate! Even Disney seemed cheap!!!

Do go to Epcot, and eat at some of the restaurants there in the world showcase. But Disney now operate this pre-paid scheme for their hotels that means that they get booked up mega quickly. Some of the best ones include the Restaurant in France section, the Chinese restaurant in China section, and the Mexican in Mexico.

If shopping is your thing, then there are two Malls near to the disney complex - the Florida Mall, and Millenium Mall. The florida is kinda cheap stuff and normal yankee shops, but the Millenium Mall is lots of designer stuff! - Very affordable compared to UK right now - good for bargains.

Finally, Jewellery is waay cheaper over there right now. We saved up for wifey to get some diamond earings that in this country would have cost closer to £1k. We paid about £300!!!! Seriously!!!!

The rest is personal taste!
