Have you ever been to Sea World? FYI, not much on reefs. The only reef tank is in a gist shop

I HIGHLY recommend going to World Wide Corals!!!!!!!!! As for a place to stay- Gaylord Palms(My absolute favorite) and Floridays

sweeeeeeeeet, ohhh i just cant wait, when we went there in the third grade my brother got a blue pearl that was about the size of a marble ( we had it mounted in a ring for my mother and what does she do... she looses it grrrr) and i got two pin ones that we had made into a set of ear rings and one big white one made into a necklace
i would go just for that little stand, i also remember while i was there a guy started screaming in the stingray tanks where you can touch them and feed them, he was screaming they stung him, then i was petrified to go near the tank after that but now i know all the procautions they tank and they do not sting ( sell most ) they

You guys golfers? There is a great course called Orange County National that isn't too expensive.
I didn't do this but heard there is a "street" or a "walk" at Disney World. Sorry I can't remember the name can someone else chime in? It is a bunch of restaurants and bars that is separate from Disney World. Anyways I hear the night life at the bars is pretty wild.

try universal and Islands of Adventure. It has city walk.

There's a restaurant in Downtown Disney called rainforest cafe which has some pretty impressive fish tanks.

It really depends when you will be there. I'll be moving back there soon and will be going down myself in a few weeks to get my house and job lined up......
Since you will be in the Orlando-kisseemee area, there is really too much to describe to do. There is always Disney and Universal Studios, and golf courses. But you could shoot across 528 and visit Cape Canaveral, visit Siliver Springs and see or swim with Manatees, visit a Gator farm and eat some gator nuggets!! (smile) The strawberry festival just ended which is very good. Spring training is still in session but will be ending soon. I can go on and on but the choices are endless so I know you wont be disappointed in any choice you make.
