St Augustine, Fl is another place to visit they have a beautiful beach, they are one of the oldest communities in the US and have some really interesting historial places to visit.

You can go to Islands of adventure one day and then experience the nightlife at CityWalk right outside the park.

You can also visit WinterPark, A very nice town outside Orlando. Do some shopping on Park Avenue. Go visit Art Museums at Rollins College. The Morse Museum actually houses the largest collection of Tiffany Glass. You also have to see 脺berbot, which is a comic and vynil toy shop in the Winter Park Village. At night you should check out the new and trendy, Tatame Tea and Sake Lounge. They usually have live local music and art shows in the evenings.

Also if you're into indie films and such, Check out the Enzian Theater [on Orlando Ave, as you're leaving witer Park and entering Maitland]

This is a very nice dinner theater that shows new indie films every month or so.

Some other things you could check out is WonderWorks, the upside-down mansion on International Drive.

Also in that Area, if you're there during the right time and are into comics, sci-fi and anime MegaCon is held at the Orange County Convention Center sometime in Feb-March [not sure when...]

Well I hope all of this helped, Have Fun!!We are off to Florida for the fourth time in feb 08. Done the parks and some other stuff what else is good?
go down to naples in florida and maybe do a bit of fishing, shopping, boat ride, rent a canoe, go scuba diving and relax.
I suggest Medieval times. The shows are great and there is no animal cruelty. My family and I went the last time we went to Disney and we had a great time. The actors really put on a good show. Also wet and wild, downtown disney, disney quest, and the Titanic Museum are awesome!



Best of luck and have fun!
Ybor City is a good night out but dont go on Sunday as it is quiet because everybody seems to get recked on Saturday night New York New York great meal if you like pasta or pizza (but also be careful as there was allegedly a shooting when we were there)
Have you been to Busch Gardens ? Or to an american football or baseball game ?
Hi we have been to Kissimmee 3 times already this year and many times in the past, one place we went to the last time was Cypress Gardens best value of the theme parks but great fun. ferris wheel, bumping cars,roller coasters,water rides,small water park plus shows, and no queues Kissimmee County Fair, is worth going if you are there when its on, not sure what dates but you can find out on the net. Also there is Silver Spurs Rodeo twice a year which is very good .We are from the UK and have a villa, take a look

I live in Florida, though the only vacation I have ever been on is Daytona Beach. If you like beaches check out Daytona. You may like Disney or Sea world, I personally have never been there but always great feedback.
You dont say if you have any children , but I did a champagne balloon flight whilst in Florida, a bit expensive but well worth it!

Also you could do a mini cruise to the carribean fom cape canaveral!

or a one day stop over to the Bahamas!

Clear Water is nice to sit and watch the sunset from the boardwalk, about a 2 hour drive from orlando!

Hope thats helped!
Try going downtown. Good dining and shoping. If u have young kids, you should go to disney of seaworld. Dont go 2 universal or busch. Too many teen rides.
No that's it...lol...if you have always been down in the winter could I suggest you try one of our summers...late mid July is the best...lol...have fun.
You can go to Weeki Wachee in Spring Hill, Fl or up and swin with the Manatees in Homosassa or to Silver Springs and ride the river in the glass bottom boats.
New Smyrna Beach is nice. There's the Dali museum in St.Pete's,St.Augustine,Tampa Bay, for a good night out locally try Kitty O'Shea's in Lake Buena Vista-they have some great bands playing.
Check out the site below for some "off the beaten path" ideas for things to do in the Orlando area

I'd also remember that all of the attractions in Orlando are constantly changing, so just because you've been once doesn't mean you would have the exact same experience every time you go.
Why do you keep going to Florida, if you have done everything?
Medieval times in orlando, Tampa has channelside, football/hockey games, it really depends on what U want to do, For a quiet holiday, go to the keys, for a loud, crazy one, go to Miami.
Go to the springs. There are a bunch around and they're fun for a day of picknicking and swimming.
go across to st petersburgh good fishing visit dew hummer show room and buy a hummer 2.
