Orlando, things to do besides themeparks?

Midway Airboat Tours... See some local wildlife. Halfway between KSC and Otown.

 

Redlight Redlight if you're a beer snob. The place is walking distance from my in-laws. Sucks they don't open until 5pm.

 

I have had very good success finding sours and various other aged stouts there. I stay away from the hopped stuff at all costs.

 

lol. I'm flying down Saturday. Setting aside time to go to Redlight.

 

What do you like to do? Downtown Otown has a ton of bars centered around Wall St off Orange. Corona Cigar has a place there with lots of whiskey and cigars. Fuck I-Drive I hate that area. Only thing worth a damn is Texas de Brazil if you're a meat eater. And it's worth it.

Downtown Orlando Friday and Saturday nights there is so much tail on Orange ave they close the streets to traffic. Don't go there if you're married lol.

There's a bunch of smaller communities around Orlando that all have their own vibe and bars. The Milk District has some cool bars and it's the cafe bike hangout. Usually some cool bikes around. Then you have College Park, Winter Park, and Thornton Park. All are hipster havens if you're into the craft beer stuff.

 

Well, you could always hit Old Town in Kissimmee Friday night for the car show. That's always fun. Indoor go-karts are downtown also https://www.k1speed.com/orlando-location.html?gclid=CJrigKHrncwCFYMkhgodF74Kcw . Personally, I would go to Kennedy. Haven't been in a couple of years and where else can you stand under a Saturn Freakin' 5 !!! As mentioned, there's House of Blues, Citiwalk, downtown Disney, etc. If you feel lucky, hop in the car and about an hour or so on I4 towards Tampa is the Seminole Hard Rock Casino. Have fun!

 

Bass Pro Shops on International Drive and Howl at the Moon bar at night.

Ask for Lauren or Ashley, tell them Phillip sent you. Also a couple of the managers also ride.

On second thought don't tell them I sent you but still ask for Ashley or Lauren or Tabitha. Lauren has an 1199 and Tabitha rides a ZX10. Ashley just has exquisite bewbs. But so does Lauren. Hell maybe I'll meet you there!

 

Eating/ drinking at my favorite chain restaurant- the Bahama Breeze

 

All the cool stuff is like 40 minutes away. We are gonna uber it tomorrow. Corona Cigar bar looks fun. At Bear and Bull tonight. Stuffy but so far the food is good.

 

Paved bike trails and a few dirty ones too. Mostly around Longwood and Oviedo.

 

Ok I have an idea where you are now. I do a lot of corporate events around that area. Never go there for fun though lol. Yeah Corona is my fav place by far. If you're a meat eater I cannot recommend enough going to Texas de Brazil on I Drive. It will change your life. Fair warning; don't get full on the salad bar, wait for the meat. You'll also see the Orlando Eye if you travel that way. International Drive is all tourist stuff but you might like it.

 

Don't forget we have the Atlantis Space Shuttle on display now too!

 

Pics so I can drool... I'm in longwood

 

We have a Texas de Brazil at home so I'm familiar. Hanging out at the pool enjoying the sun and sights today. This is definitely tourist hell though!
