I'll be in Orlando from the 21st until the 25th, with only 1 day of things planned. What should be my goals of things to do while there?

I plan on going to bars/clubs one night, and then one day of contests, but other than that I think I am free...

I figured i'd hit up orlando studios or something like that, but don't know what would be good and such...

So suggestions on what to do while there?


Oh, and i didn't ever mention, I am going for DECA business club, presenting my web page I created...

Stop by my parents' house and give them all your money. )

Oh...and YEAAAAAAAA for DECA...I was a guru in Business Services Marketing (I think I did other events as well, getting ready to take the walk with my B.S. in hand...high school is a distant memory). Best of luck!

Orlando Studios, ride the Hulk and Dueling Dragons. I freakin HATE rollercoaster, or I used to anyways, and I got on both of these and it is so amazing. The Hulk is really fun, Dueling Dragons you are going to fast, and you are turned around so much you really do not know where you are. Plus, its a feet dangler, and you hit a upward curve the same time as the other coaster, so it looks like you are going to smack legs with them

Agreed, I visited my parents a little while ago and we went there, it was a lot of fun.

go to the ucf area. There are tons of bars that love giving people free alcohol.

Disney is more for kids, in my opinion

Islands of Adventure in Universal, its a seperate park right next to it, its the one with all the roller coasters (ie, the hulk, dueling dragons, etc.) Universal is more like the sit down and watch a big screen while something goes on a track.

Thats all I got as far as orlando.. I dont go there too much anymore.

def. IOA in Universal Studios. If u never been to Disney World, u should at least go once. Its not the summer so it should be a lot less crowded.
If u like roller coasters, I highly suggest taking a 2 hr drive to Tampa's Busch Garden.
For night spots, check out Pleasure Island.

My brother came back from a week in Orlando yesterday...
he bought these tickets online for universal, it was an amazing deal.
It was about $85 for a 7 day ticket with park hopper (you can go from one park to another in the same day)
It was some special...A regular ticket is like $65 or something.

And when he was there, there were people in the middle sponsoring visa. They said if you signed up for their credit card, you get a free express pass for the day which lets you cut all the lines...That's like $75.

And as far as his Disney tickets...He got them from a timeshare program for $5. It took two hours of his time, but he had nothing planned the first day he was there, so it was no problem. He sat through this thing that they explain and try to sell you a timeshare, then at the end just say no and you get your Disney tickets.

I posted a link with an eBay listing a week or two ago asking if it was real...I guess it was b/c my brother said it was really easy.

Also, when I went two years ago with him...We went jet skiing the first day, then we went to universal studios twice, blizzard beach (Disney) once, and Magic kingdom Twice.

I think Magic kingdom is the only good Disney Amusements park, epcot and the others aren't as good...Epcot's like universal studios (the studio one, not islands of adventure) but for Disney...I think Universal Studios is better. The animal park is a waste of time. Blizzard beach, the water park, was good though...

And universal studios as well as islands of adventure were both amazing.

Hope this helped =)

Since your age says 19...

If you are 21 then go to Pleasure Island...it's Orlando's nightspot. It costs something like $20 to get in then you just barhop. I don't know if you'll have a vehicle to get around, but UCF is actually a little ways away from downtown Orlando.

I've always liked Epcot...it's more educational, but they've got some cool bars that are country/culture themed...so, you can get a Guinness in Ireland and a glass of sangria in Spain.

Jellyrolls is fun too. It's a comedy club/piano bar in downtown Disney.

Have a good time!
