Going to Orlando. What to do?

Sure can do my friend, sure can do.

 

Sea world is small, not much to do there. But they do have this ride called manta it's pretty sweet. If you go to bush gardens bring a bunch of quarters or don't bring a backpack or girlfriends purse, you have to get a locker for every coaster and they are 50 cent everytime. It adds up after awhile. I would say Universal has the best rides if that's what you're into.

 

^^Thanks for the heads up! I like aquariums so I want to go to Sea World. Maybe I can squeeze Universal Studios in there too. Would that be a place that would take up more than 1 day?

 

I don't see "Under the Sea."

I'll be in Orlando on Monday. We both agreed after our last trip that Universal Studios was more entertaining than Disney.

 

You could do both parks in 1 day if it's not crowded. But you can spend 2 days there if you wanted. The Hulk ride is awesome I could ride that thing all day.

 

Sea World might be a zoo (no pun intended) after that trainer got killed down there yesterday.

 

That's if it's even open.

 

Hmm.....I guess no aquarium for me. Will let you guys know how it goes.

 

Wait...the Nemo and Friends is a part of Disney and not Sea World right? I'm a little confused.

 

Oh ok. I understand now. It used to be called "Under the Sea." Someone mentioned it in one of the previous posts.

 

I'll be going in April....6-11th to be exact....what's the weather like around that time? From the earlier posts, I've gathered that Universal is worth checking out....we'll be staying at Disney's Coronado Springs....how's that resort? is there anything non-disney nearby in case I don't feel like blowing a wad of dough just to eat or drink?

 

your missin out if you dont go to Universal Studio's that place is awesome and you could go to Gator Land, we went there when i was like 8 and i still remember it was the HOTTEST place ive ever been too, i felt like i was in a oven

 

Im live in tampa fl.

about an hour and thirty min from orlando.

tons of shit to do in orlando. great night life

 

I hit up the classic car show at old town. It's on 192 near celebration on Saturday nights. Or I head to a sports bar a buddy of mine works at.

 

Thanks for everyone's suggestions. I had a great time down there. I wish I was there longer. I didn't have enough time to make it everywhere. I didn't go the beach either.

I went to Disney, Universal, and SeaWorld, one day each. As I was talking to my friends they were asking me.....did you do this, did you do this, how about this ride? My reply was no, no, and no. Then they were like, "So WTF DID you do? I managed to make it to 3 out of 4 theme parks at Disney. I mostly walked around for sightseeing and didn't really bother to wait in too many lines to go on rides. Same thing with Universal.

At SeaWorld I manage to do everything in one day. I went on the only 2 rollercoasters that were there. Got there early and 1 line had a 10 minute wait and the other had no lines. I also saw 5 out of 6 shows that were going. Sadly the dolphin show was better than the killer whale show (I think we all know why). It was fun I saw plenty of animals which I wanted to do.

For night life....all I did was go to Citywalk, twice!

I like the fact that you can drink alcohol while walking around any of those theme parks. I never thought about it until I ran into a bunch of college kids "drinking around the world" at Epcot. I decided to do the same myself (only had about 5 beers though). Turkey and whatever dark beer that the Germans had was an awesome combination. Tasted DELICIOUS!!!

At first I never really cared to go to Disney for a vacation, but now I want to go back so badly. lol I think I'll take another trip there next year.

 

sounds like fun. I'll be down there end of April for training. Lookin at going to Daytona Beach to see the speedway. I'd love to do that.

 

This was at City Walk outside of Universal. If you decide to go there, you should go after 6 PM so parking would be $3 (prices may change based on the sign there). There's one of those passes that you can pay for $11.99 + tax that will get you into all the bars there w/o paying cover. Paid $25 for 2 people. Cover was like 7 or 8 dollars for some bars. I managed to make it to all the bars/clubs.




Universal Studios. My girlfriend likes to be eaten.
