    Yes, I have been in Orlando 3 times already and will possibly go for the fourth time april next year.

    Just wondering if anybody local know good, reliable and cheap condo rentals? I already have rented a condo 2 of the 3 times with no problems (my first visit was on a hotel :-( ).

    Oh, nope, sorry I can't help you much on that. I thought you might have been looking for tourist attractions or something

    Alligator safari in the everglades. No, I'm not kidding .

    Seriously, if you've seen as much disney as you can handle, make some calls and take a drive down into the everglades. Get on a big old air boat, and drive around the swamps looking for gators.

    Just don't get out of the boat. Never get out of the boat.

    That could be interesting but I think I have seen enough gators in Gatorland :wink:

    I am considering a helicoptor ride:

    a hot air balloon ride:

    or even a ride in a biplane:

    If you are near the beach, you could give parasailing a try. There are usually a good number of them near any local beach that is reasonably busy.
    I suppose if you head east of Orlando there should be plenty of possibilities there - try the yellow pages.

    Default You won't find any better fishing..

    I'm in Orlando - if you like fishing, you'll find some of the best in florida. I highly recommend it, especially mid-summer.

    well then, if you find yourself with nothing to do, you could come visit us and work on ServiceCenter

    heck, see what's going on in orlando during the time-frame you'll be here. check http://www.icflorida.com for the event calendar, or even the events on http://www.orlandosentinel.com .. perhaps there will be a festival or other event you'll want to see.

    I haven't been to it myself, but I hear "La Nouba" / Cirque du Soleil (sp) is a pretty good show.

    My sister - with whom I am going - have seen the show when it was in Denmark and she says is was fantastic so I know for sure she will want to see that.

    Does any of You that live in Florida, Orlando area know of good reliable photo shops with reasonable prices in Orlando / Kissimee or maybe even in Tampa?

    I hope I will be visiting Orlando in september and compared to the prices in Denmark I can save a whole lot of money on photo gear if I buy it in USA.
