I really enjoyed Orlando, I had not been in a few years and mostly had experienced theme parks and specific events but this time we spent some time going to some of the smaller independently owned shopping areas and restaurants and really enjoyed it.

I primarily go to Orlando when I'm going to Disney, but there are a lot of dining and entertainment options, which is nice. I hate the traffic, the interstates and ramps all running through the city, but I know that's to be expected and unavoidable

We were there for the parks and stayed at Disney, Universal and Sea World. We couldn't believe how expensive it was to buy food in supermarkets, fast food, restaurants, hotels and parks. Used Lyft app. Really easy to use. Loved not dealing in cash

Orlando is a city with a lot to do, many hidden gems beyond just going to the parks. There's a Fallout themed speakeasy bar, diverse food offerings, amazing natural parks just outside of the city proper. It's a great option for a weekend vacation!

Always a great time with plenty to do. From shopping, eating and entertainment. We always make a stop in Orlando on our trips to Florida. But you might need a vacation when you're done because it is a very high energy, very busy place to be.

There's so much to do in Orlando, even if you aren't headed for the major attractions. The area around the hotel has several good outlet malls and plenty of restaurants. The weather is also so much nicer than many other places during winter!

If you don't know, have patience in traffic!! Traffic is very heavy because of people going to work, travel, theme park traffic. So plan ahead an extra 30min to transit to different areas especially on I-4 from north Orlando to Kissimmee.

Orlando has every chain restaurant you can think of, so there are plenty of food options along with Publix supermarkets if you choose to cook. There are always rain storms, but they can come and go quickly. Orlando is a super tourist town

Orlando can be a little scary, and the GPS can take you in circles, especially around International Drive. However, once you figure it out, you'll do fine. The area around the Orange County Convention Center is very neat and clean.
"My room key stopped working and I'd left my car keys inside, I'd had to walk all the way (they'd put me in Building F) across the campus which is a long way, security let me back into my room. What a hassle. The night time desk staff were kind of just.. meh about their job and it showed in the level of customer service. Place really is nice though."
