Anywhere must go in Orlando?

My girlfriend and I are going to Orlando for the weekend to check out a few houses that we want to invest. Other than that, we pretty much have nothing else to do. Anywhere that we must go visit or go eat? What's the best car I can rent at the airport? (We're both not 25 yet so I guess no premium cars for us) Thanks guys.

Any of you guys live around the area we can have a little meet and chat, too. Feel free to PM me any kind of information if you don't want to post in the public thread.

A couple of top C63 members live in Orlando (i just drive a lowly C300). Rentals are abundant around here. You shouldn't have a problem finding an OK car. Hertz near the airport rents luxury cars (BMW, Jaguar, Mercedes).

As far as things to do- CityWalk at Universal is nice. Lots of restaurants and clubs.

If you or your girlfriend like to shop- Mall at Millenia is nice.

Dr. Phillips area is nice (close to City walk and Millenia). There are some great restaurants in that area and it is close to where Shaq, Tiger, and the rest of the celebrities live.
Hope that helps. Enjoy your trip.

Just got off the plain. The best car I could rent is a Mustang convertible since I'm not 25 yet. I'll PM Jon and ask him. Thanks a lot for all the information.

Gloria Estafan's club is supposed to pretty good. It's called Bongos, I think. It's right in the middle of Downtown Disney.

There's a few little clubs all together right there. Probably a decent and safe place to go on a Friday/Saturday night.

Oh man it was awesome. My girlfriend loves it. The wine list was so cool and the food was so tasty. She especially love the rose they gave her.

Whew.....thanks for the feedback......I can stay on the board.......they used to have an awesome veal chop........the rose is a nice touch and always helped me with the ladies......glad it was up to par.......but finding independent places makes trips more fun....if you like seafood try Oceanaire near the convention center.....a small chain like about 10 or less locations, but really good...
