I live in Orlando Florida. I grew up in the Fort Myers, Sanibel and Captiva Island part of Florida though.
Orlando is actually a pretty cool place. We have Universal Studios Florida here. It is actually two amusement parks, Universal, and Islands of Adventure. They have a couple of badass rollercoasters here. The Hulk, and Dueling Dragons. Great restaurants on this site also. The worlds largest Hard Rock Cafe, which also boasts a concert hall, Bob Marley's, Jimmy Buffets Margaritaville, and Emeril's. I suggest you go here if you are ever in the area. My girlfriend and I have season passes, meaning we can get in for free any time we want. I got those through my job.
Disney World is here. Disney is for kids, but Epcot is cool, Animal Kingdom is cool and so is Pleasure Island. Downtown Disney is home to Orlando's House of Blues. This is where I saw the G3 concert and got to meet Yngwie Malmsteen, Steve Vai, and Joe Satriani. My girlfriend and I got our picture taken with Mr. Vai. I had each of them autograph a CD insert from one of their albums. Odyssey, Passion and Warfare, and Flying in a Blue Dream.
We have NASA about 45 minutes east. Kennedy Space Center. I love this place. Not as much to do as the above mentioned places, but I dig it. I love going to see the shuttle take off. It's one thing to see it on TV, but quite another to see it with your own eyes, and hear it.
And lastly we have our hapless NBA team, the Orlando Magic here. They have stunk for a couple of years now, but I somehow keep finding excuses to go to games. Orlando has a cool nightlife too.
