what to see and do in florida
« on: April 01, 2015, 11:24:04 AM »
Planning to go to Orlando and wanted to know what things I need to see while there.   Only limitations is I won't have a rental car and the trip is kinda short. Still wanna check things out though.  Any suggestions?

sorry to say that orlando is really spread out
without a rental car, it's going to be difficult to get around

i went on a tour of the kennedy space center and it was pretty awesome
but as you know, i'm kinda nerdy, so those kinds of things get my people excited

you can skip the magic kindgom if you've been to disneyland
epcot is pretty cool, but once again the nerd factor comes into play

talula went with his family recently
he can pipe in more

We stayed for ten days and did almost all the tourists stuff. My entire family would agree that the best thing was the airboat ride through the swamps and Mac is correct you definitely need a car. If you have a chance try looking up the zombie 3gun shoot.

Every ones a good person. You just might be catching them in a bad time of their life.

Try to catch a gun show. You need to spring for a rental car. Everything in Florida is at least 20 miles from everything else. Kennedy is very cool but about 50 miles from Orlando. There's the Old Town car shows in Kissimmee, if you're into cars. I grew up there so I'm jaded when it comes to theme parks. I will say Universal is best if you are over 5 years old.

Universal studios rocks. They have the best rides. Gotta do the Simpsons. Will blow your mind.

Epcot is cool to. Do your space mission ( g-forces are crazy ) then drink your way around the world.   :D

I can vouch for that.  I mentioned the words algorithim, longitude, and anaphylactic in the same sentence and Mac passed out right there in the action bay.  True story.  :geekdanc:

No one is coming, it’s up to us.

Legislation should never be about depriving law abiding citizens of something, but rather taking those things away from criminals.

Well, at least you are going there before summer.  Last time I was there, in late June or so, the heat and humidity made Hawaii seem downright cool and dry.  Tried to tough it out in a hotel with the AC off, but no could do.  Miserable weather.  And the bugs.

The guys are right, everything is too far away to not need a car.
