In central Florida. Obviously, the Cape, the new ( Since the

holes in the walls kinds of places that aren't on the Disney

Some have been listed here before, but I didn't think to
save those lists. Silly me.

My trip is likely to start in a tad under two weeks.

Thanks, Andre

Hmmm... (Been saying that a lot lately.) These are probably too far for
the time you have. But, off the top of my head:

Weeki Watchi, Spring of Live Mermaids (probably too far north)
Ross Allen's Reptile Institute (probably too far south)

Also, Weeki Watchi is a tourist trap, of course. If you remember that
scene from "The Right Stuff" when Gus (?) went swimming in the hotel tank,
you'll get the idea.

There are a lot of things to see in the close vicinity of Orlando. More
tourist traps (like the wax museum) as well as historic sites. A Web search
would turn them up, I'm sure. (Probably you've already done that.) As for
advice on bars and restaurants, I'll defer to locals. It's been eight years
since I spent time in Florida.
