It says right in your hotel literature that you have to supply your own tips.

:Angel:

Lol....You must be the funniest person you know:nah:

so i take it that nobody has been to Orlando then............

Guess not. Or maybe they figure as it's your honeymoon, you won't have much time for sightseeing. ;) BTW, its sure looks like a nice hotel you've chosen.

Yep my parents live in Florida...Are you planning on going to any theme parks? If so skip Disney (unless you have little kids) Universal is awesome both of em. What are you looking to do? Errrr well what type of sights are you looking to see?

We're planning on hitting all the parks, disney, seaworld, universal, Islands of Adventure as well as Discovery Cove. We are there for two weeks and want to get some insider tips on where to eat, shopping etc....

I'll email a few of my cousins who also live down there and ask em where to go. :) I can't remember names of places we went to other then the parks, lots of good places though! Congrats on your upcoming wedding/honeymoon!

Oh I forgot!!! Downtown Disney is awesome! If you can go to The Cirque De Soleil show while your there I believe it always runs there. I've been to all the different Cirque's and each one is better then the next! A lot of clubs and different places to eat. Downtown Disney is a lot of fun...I'll keep asking but I wanted to post this while I remembered.The show is called La Nouba...:)

I would love to be of some help, but it has been years since I have been to the Orlando area. There are certainly lots of places to shop & eat, but cannot recall them now. Besides the attractions you are planning to hit, maybe you could hit Gatorland. Not a big attraction like to rest of them, but as I recall it was worth it. Enjoy your honeymoon. Congrats.
