Orlando FLA on Business for a few days WWMD

[Dhelihiker]

The place looks like hell on earth. Is there anything redeeming?

I like beer, buds and food, what a revelation~~

Mid Dec if that matters

[jmars]

Cable wakeboard park?

[Bobcat Sig]

Kill yourself.

The beer + boobs route sounds like a solid bet.

[DasBlunt]

nothing....quite the abysmal "city", ahem, I mean sprawl.

if you golf and it is not raining, it is OK.

Cable wakeboard park?

OWC is a good time. They've got a get up guarantee with a short lesson, equipment and a 4 hour pass for $59.
If your good, Shaun Murry teaches there and he's a top notch coach and very nice guy.

Tons of water ski schools in the area and Ron Scarpa has a really good barefoot school.

I actually like Orlando.

Avoid International Drive if you can. Eat at the Ravenous Pig or Cask and Larder if you can. Good Asian food in the Mills 50 area. Never been to OWC but it skiing is what you're after there's no shortage. If you can get out of town, KSC is worth a visit if you've never been, and you can stop by Playalinda Brewery afterwards for some really good and unique beers. Only about an hour away if you take the 528 toll road.

Ditto on the fishing charter, and if you wanted to go diving you could make that happen too. If you want to see some nature, renting a kayak at Wekiva Springs SP is cool. Just don't go swimming outside designated areas; some lady got her arm bitten off a little while back around there.

On the whole, Orlando kinda sucks. I'm plotting my escape as we speak.

[ex-powderbroker]

right in the middle of maybe the worst state in the nation. at least it's only a weekend?

[plugboots]

When I got shipped there for meetings, I'd always take a day or 2 and flyfish on the East Coast, or near St. Pete, or drive down to Naples and fish out of Chokoloskee. My cousin lives near there and has a share in a DC-something and skydives.

[St. Jerry]

Use your Fast Pass for Space Mountain and Pirates.

[strawjack]

I was just there for business. Bring edibles, drink a shitload of tequila and head to Seaworld with your fishing pole

[Dhelihiker]

OMG it sounds worse than I expected. Im going to make some cut off jeans so I fit in.

[Steven S. Dallas]

I was there about this time last year, staying near the amusement park and without a car, and let me tell you it was straight garbage. I found one pretty good restaurant (Hemingway's) and had a decent meal and good beers at the Flying Dog brew pub, but the greater Disney zone is generally a strip mall hellscape.

On the plus side there will probably be a lot of high school girls who are pissed off at their parents for dragging them on family vacation and are looking to act out.

[Viva]

There are 30+ year-old women out there still acting out. Fun for a night, though.

[DJSapp]

Find some bath salts, see where it takes you. When in rome, right?

[hitek79]

Rocco's Tacos and Big Fish. The rest sucks.

[Millsie]

Go bass fishing. Plenty of lakes around the area. find a good guide and spend the day. Closer than going to the coast.

That's what I was going to say. Not a bad way to spend a day. Bass fishing then kill yourself.

[Dhelihiker]

I caught you a delicious bass.

I guess it could be worse, Im not sure how, but I guess....

[abraham]

Bass fishing then kill yourself.

Is that called a Hemingway?

Well, you could live here. Trust me, it's a lot worse than visiting.
