Theme Parks and Shopping at the Outlet Malls. These are the things you go to Orlando for. I read is the city in the WORLD with most visitors every year.
There are 4 Disney World Theme Parks, 2 Universal Studios, Sea World, Several water parks, and my all time favorite Discovery Cove. I have been several times to Magic Kingdom, and Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure.
Recently I jumped out of the Skycoaster in Kissimmee’s Old Town. This was like a fair and there is a tower(300 ft tall) with steel cables. They release you and you free fall first and then fly as a pendulum!! crazy! it didn’t look safe at all! I did it with 2 friends! it was fun after we fell BUT when we were going up, the “park” lost power and the electricity went off! lucky for us this is a mechanical attraction and we were fine with no power. It was fun, adrenaline ride 100% but i was happy to get off the suit. Check it out at their website: http://www.skycoaster.cc

This has to be my favorite theme park in Orlando. I have been over 5 times in the past 5 years. Not much has changed in the park except that the Fast-Pass ticket is now $26! It used to be free for 3 attractions per person!
My favorite ride in the whole park is still HULK! This is one of the best roller coasters Ive been! I have to say, Sheikra, the new one @ Busch Gardens is my favorite. A 90 degree’s fall is the best and scariest. I love roller coasters. The dragon’s is also great! I like the feet loose. There are 2 different carts and they are supposed to be different rides but I cant really tell the difference.
Spider Man is a great 3-D adventure with LONG lines but is worth it! Jurassic Park is also great!!! a little different and with a good splash at the end! Its not the flyer cart located @ camp Jurassic! It is the river ride!
There are several shows, like Poseidon!! Which I think is great and Sindbad isnt bad either!
My favorite part of the park is the Dr.Seuss Land!! I didnt grow up with the Cat in The Hat story or watched the movie! But the place is incredible and I love the caro-Seuss-el!!! Is beautiful!! I still dont get the shirts/sweaters they sell at the park with a ball saying “Thing 1″ and “Thing 2″… how does it work???
Another great ride is the Doctor Doom’s Fearfall which I call “the tower”!!! I love it!! I get scared when I’m sitting there waiting for them to shoot me 150′ and then drop me back but it’s all good! At the end! 
Ever ride in this park is just great!! The Popeye is good too but get ready to get wet!! In summer is good to get wet but we have cold days in Florida too!! So I dont want to get near the water in December, January or February. Then March is spring break but the weather is perfect! Sunny but not too hot and it rains in the summer in Florida EVERY day so the roller coasters have to be closed while its raining.
The food is just the same you can get at the other parks… just average and expensive. Same as Disney! Although Epcot has great food!! The lines are LONG! Unless you have the Fast Pass and I dont know how short they get. Most of the rides have an hour wait and I usually have a 90 minute wait for Spiderman. I can never see the whole park in just one day! If you can get the 2 days for the price of one take it! Sometimes they have promotions. Or if you get 2-parks in 1-day you can finish the original Universal Studios Fast and then go back to Islands of Adventure!
Also, outside the parks is CityWalk with many restaurants, clubs, movie theatres, stores, Hard Rock Cafe and the Blue Man Group just opened a show last June. I have to go see them.

I was in Mass last Sunday and remembered that I had this picture to post. (Our pastor’s name is Father Paul too… I think that was the memory trigger!)

Lanita in front of the Hooters at Lake Buena Vista, Florida. Yes we ate there too! 20 Buffalo Shrimp with Medium Hot Sauce as always! Mmmmm the best Buffalo Shrimp on the planet! We had some fried dill pickles too that were scrumptious as well. This will be about the 10th time we have eaten as this location right next to Disney World and it’s always been great!
