When I come back to Orlando in the future, I will hopefully have kids by then as I know that they would love it! It was so much fun and I even got to meet and get my picture taken with Mickey and Minnie Mouse which was a lot of fun really. There are tons of places to eat out and a great choice to and most staff expect you to tip at least 10 percent of your bill which I didnt really think was necessary myself. The nightlife in Orlando is very good and you are sure to have a good time there. There are lots of things to see and do and you can always lie and relax out in the lovely sunshine and get a tan while you are there if you like to take it easy. You may even need a holiday to recover from your holiday! Have a wonderful time!

There was so much for my partner and I to see and do in Orlando that we had trouble trying to fit it all in to be honest! There were lots of great theme parks like Disneyland and Seaworld. The parks were very expensive but a lot of fun but tend to be very busy all the time so leave yourself enough time to go and visit them all if you can do. There are lots of places to eat out, not all of them very healthy. You can get food cooked to your specifications which is good but can be akward depending on where you are dining. There were not any beaches near my hotel which I would like to see more of when I come back to Orlando in the future at some point. We felt like big kids coming here with all the attractions. We had a ball and I am sure you will too if you come to Orlando as well.

Orlando was great, I had a blast. It was all I had ever expected it to be and more besides. The weather is really hot there so make sure and bring light clothing and sun cream with you. The cost of food and drink is average and there are plenty of places to eat out at. Portion sizes in Orlando are huge so if you want a light bite, you may get a really large plate full instead! The theme parks are brilliant but insanely expensive so make sure that you have allowed for this before you come. There are lots of things to see and do in Orlando so you are sure to have a really good time. Kids would love all the magic of Orlando as it is a wonderful place. You may not have enough time to do everything but I would recommend Disneyland and Universal Studios the most. Enjoy your time there!

Kissimmee itself is primarily spread along the 192 highway. It has a large assortment of resturants and shops with large stores like Pubilx, Target and Walmart along the route. As a location I personally feel that it is perfect for families with transport and surpasses I drive which is noisier and the food more expensive for the captive tourist market.
Probably the main reason for going to Orlando is to visit the theme parks and the motel is ideally located for ease of access to these.
Whilst our family were there we toured down to Miami and the Keys together with travel to the space coast/ Daytona and the Gulf coast (Tampa and St Pete's). We found that the location was excellent as it was central.

Take a closer look though, and you’ll find plenty of all-American touches. For starters, the dining scene is brilliant. For a sit-down meal, head to the Compass Grille – a supersized menu features national favourites like clam chowder, slow-roasted ribs and chocolate peanut butter pie. Or grab a bite to eat by one of the three pools. Rum Runners snack bar serves up a host of cocktails and simple snacks. The pool area itself is huge and just footsteps from the beach. A spacious terrace makes for the ideal sunbathing spot, with a scattering of palms providing a little shade. The star of this show though is the stage – live music is put on here throughout the day.

Florida City review
"Fairway Inn Florida City"
resort to a friend
The Fairway Inn is located right off the Turnpike heading to the Florida Keys, 32 miles from Miami Intl Airport, and minutes from Everglades National Park and John Pennekamp State Park. The property is secluded from the main road for a relaxing night sleep, but still accessible to many area attractions most within minutes. Hotel amenities include a waterfall pool surrounded landscaped grounds. Complimentary continental breakfast is served daily and parking is free to guests.Local restaurants include Gustos Bar and Grill, Monday thru Sat hours are 11:30AM until 4AM. Sunday hours are 11:30AM until Midnight and Capri Italian Restaurant.

Orlando review
"International Drive, Orlando"
resort to a friend
We enjoyed the area we stayed in, although we was only there for the "Disney Experience" with our Grandsons. It was quite close to all the parks. We had a Fab car which was supposed to be included with our holiday .......but it cost us more than if we had rented one direct from Alamo cars ourselves.

I had a wonderful time in Orlando and I really enjoyed it and would love to go back again at some point in the future if I had the money. There were some nice beaches in Orlando that were nice but they were not very close to my hotel that I was staying in so this was a pain trying to get to them. There are plenty of places to eat out at in Orlando which was good and the choice of food was very good and there was a lot of choice. There are plenty of things to see and do in Orlando which was good and the cost of food and drink was quite reasonable in my opinion. There was a good nightlife and I had a lot of fun in the bars and clubs. I must have went out almost every night when I was in Orlando. I had a wonderful holiday here and would recommend it to everyone.

My husband and I spent an afternoon shopping at Lincoln Road Mall on our trip in January. There are so many restaurants and shops to visit - its definately worth the trip! There is a relatively cheap parking garage ($1/hr) directly across the street to the south of the convention center and from there it is less than 1 block to get to the shopping on Lincoln Road. Remember you can definately barter while you're there; my husband got jeans and shoes for 50% off of the asking price, plus some of the alterations fee taken off for the jeans. Some of the restaurants are fantastic here as well! If you're in Miami, make sure you take a few hours to check out Lincoln Road mall!
I want to come to Orlando every year now for a holiday as I had such a great time while I was there before. The weather was amazing. It was actually so warm I could hardly sit out in it for more than half an hour and I love the sun! There were not many beaches but plently of great attractions, theme parks, water parks and rides. There is a bus called I Ride which will take you up and down International Drive so getting around the main parts of Orlando is easier and it is very cheap. There are lots of restaurants to eat out but most of these are fast food with not a lot of fresh meals though. I enjoyed going to Dairy Queen and Perkins on International Drive and the I Hop was very good for pancakes too. You will have a blast in Orlando. I sure did!

There were a lot of things that I really loved and enjoyed about being in Orlando and I have to admit that I am keen to go back again at some point in the future if I can ever afford it. There seemed to be a lot of tacky souvenir shops in Orlando that I didnt really want to waste my money in and not enough proper clothes shops to my liking. The premium outlets are good as are the prime outlets but I expected there to be a better quality of shop overall really which I didnt see in Orlando. It is a great place however for children who are sure to find the Disney and fairytale animals really magical. This is though a holiday of a lifetime I think that everyone needs to take at least once and I do fully recommend it to everyone.
