I'm up in the panhandle in the Destin, Ft. Walton, Pensacola Area if you need ideas.

I don't really understand your question.

In Orlando, we went to Ripley's Believe it or Not. We did that before we took a plane home.

There's TONS of stuff to do. I was in Disney while I was preggo, and although I'm a BIG ride person and I was bummed out because I couldn't go on rides, I was able to enjoy it very much. We went to Epcot, and I ate my face off. so much fun eating at Epcot and their firework show is amazing! There was also the Disney boardwalk..so much fun and so romantic! We actually stayed at the Swan which was right on the boardwalk. There's also Old Town, which is like a carnival type place. Animal Kingdom is great and you can go on alot of the rides (being that it involves animals) being preggo. There are tons of outlets too if you are into shopping..

are you limited to only orlando? or would you rent a car and venture to other towns?

There is so much to do in Orlando (even if you are preggo). You don't realize it until you get down there.. There's also Pleasure Island. It's NYE every night there! They have an outdoor club and tons of shops and stuff to do there. if you go, I strongly suggest you get tickets to Cirque De Soleil's La Nuba and dine at Bongo's (Gloria Estefan's restaurant).

Ft. Lauderdale is great too but there's more to do in Orlando. I enjoyed the Hooter's in Ft. Lauderdale lol they had great wings!

I think the water parks are open all year round.
Church street does have Howl at the moon and another dueling piano bar is at a place called Point orlando.
Pointe Orlando and Church street both have lots of resteraunts, bars and small little shops...cute for a afternon stroll.

I love Church Street, just pi$$ed that they took away the haunted house that they had over there..its the best one Ive ever been to

Pointed Orlando is cute too-they have stores and places to eat.

Outlet shopping is always good Chat Icon
