I used to live in Orlando, and my family and I go back there frequently for vacations, so whatever you want to know about themeparks, shopping, or the like, I can tell you. However, I'm having a problem with the wording of your question. By "one week in Orlando place that we do not know", do you mean that you've never been to Orlando, or that you're looking for something you've never seen before on a previous trip to Orlando?

If you could clear that up, I'd be more than happy to make a few suggestions for you.

With a week, be sure to take a day or two and run over to Daytona Beach and see the ocean.

My mother is flying up from Orlando to meet me in NYC (I'm coming in from Europe for a business trip) and got roundtrip nonstop air (Orlando-Newark and back) for $200 on Spirit. Do they fly into Philly?
Can't recommend hotel, but if you like ribs, the Sonny's chain has great ribs and is a fav. with the locals. Cheap, too.

Dear Sirs/Madams
I thank you all for your kindness.
Especially to Mr ? Ravenbriar, I would say :" I have never been in Orlando before, I've never seen it." So please give some some suggestions if you can.
Thanks again.

Off Disney recommendation is:
Holiday Inn Family Suites
This hotel has two bedrooms, kitchenette, two swimming pools, transportation to Disney parks, and full breakfast buffet included for appx. $120 a night.
On Disney try:
Port Orleans or Dixie Landings
If you can find a good price, I'd highly recommend:
Wyndham Palace Resort and Spa

Hi,

It looks like you need a lot of information about Orlando. I don't know if you are asking about the major parks or something a little more specific on the land. My best advice is for you to go to a site that has a unique system. www.theorlandowebsite.com and check out their info page.
Good luck... ...Price

Nam-my Le,

Do not bother with the www.orlandowebsite.com website. It is just a cover for another sleazy timeshare sales presentation. To the scum that keep posting for this website, advertising is not allowed on this forum and you are in direct violation of the rules. Do not fall for this scam there is nothing free on this website even the offer of free information has an $8.00 charge for so called postage and handling (What exactly is handling)?

BEWARE and Lucas P. and your buddies, we are onto you.
