I am going on vacation in the next 6 months to Orlando. I know the usual Disney World Magic Kingdom is a gimme. I like anything thrill rides. What would you see as can't miss attractions or rides when vacationing there? Let me know what you enjoyed or post up some videos of cool stuff. Thanks!

As a resident of florida, this place is horrible.

But, if you're visiting:

  • Downtown Disney has a ton of nightclubs, shopping and it's totally free. Boardwalk at Universal is also pretty nice. (Albeit Universal costs parking)

  • Themeparks, as you'd expect. Universal, Sea World, Disney, etc. If you're a thrill rider guy, try Islands of Adventure and Disney Hollywood Studios IMO.

  • There's a world's largest McDonalds in Orlando. Like I'm running out of stuff to suggest.

  • I think the world's largest checkers is across the street. Not even joking.

As someone who's visited Florida, that place is horrible.

But, I liked Universal better than SeaWorld and Disney. It's worth checking out if you can afford it/have the time.

((I didn't know there was a giant Checkers there. I might have to go back... :( ))

Stay off the Orange Blossom Trail after it turns dark. That's not a section of town you wanna be in.

As somebody who grew up in Florida, Orlando is basically the worst major city in the whole state, as far as I'm concerned. It's a bunch of strip malls around theme parks. Hit the parks, have a good time with those, but as far as the city of Orlando goes, it doesn't have anything you wouldn't find anywhere else. Night clubs are about the only other thing to do there.
