skydiverbrian 0 #2 January 31, 2003 Where the hot spots are depends on whether you're travelling with adults, children, or adults who act like children. I tend to fall into the latter category, especially when away from home. In that case, I'd suggest heading out to PI or IOA. Touristy, yes, but the recipe for a good time is there: nightclubs, strangers, and alcohol!

Phil 0 #3 January 31, 2003 we are serious skydivers and act like skydivers, always facing the danger of death or worse... so tell me wtf is PI or IOA is that the short version for Disney World? ... .. . how high can you fly with broken wings ... life's a journey not a destination Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skymama 35 #4 January 31, 2003 It took me awhile to figure that out too, and I live here! PI would be Pleasure Island, a set of nightclubs on the Disney property. IOA would be Islands of Adventure, a theme park at Universal Studios. Basically, there's Disney and all of their parks and clubs, Universal and their parks and clubs, many shopping areas where you Europeans would get a bargain with the way the exchange rate is these days, and the beaches. I always like to suggest to visitors that you take an airboat ride, and get the true flavor of FL away from the tourism industry. Gator hunting in an airboat is a lot of fun. There's a great rock climbing center that I love to go to also. Kennedy Space Center is a neat place to visit if you're into that kind of stuff. The manatees have come into the springs for the winter, and they're pretty cool to see too. That stuff should give you a good start. Of course, the really hot place is always wherever I am, Phil!

skydiverbrian 0 #5 January 31, 2003 PI = Pleasure Island -- scroll down to "Nightlife" IOA = Islands of Adventure In a world full of people, only some want to fly... isn't that crazy! --Seal Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wmw999 2,120 #14 January 31, 2003 Because of the large international community, you can find a pretty good range of food there. I saw more Brazilian restaurants in Orlando than there are in Houston, for instance. Wendy W.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Enrique 0 #16 January 31, 2003 Go to Bennigan's (about a block away from the tunnel), have a beer, and order a "Death by Chocolate".......... Man that's a nice dessert. As for places to visit, whatever you do DON'T GO TO JUNGLELAND! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
