My company is sending me and my team on vacation from Oct-5th-7th for a Dinsey vacation.
Not being a Disney fan, I am thinking Epcot and Universal for me possibly. Any advice on must sees and must do'?
Anyone got any recomendations on what to do? Museums, nighlife, vegan dining?

Thanks in advance

I live in orlando, epcot is cool but i recommend islands of adventure, great park!!.....downtown orlando has a good nightlife....if ur into the bar scene check out makos, big belly brewery, tabu and antigua just to name a few!!

just came from a company thing in Orlando. We spent a night at Universal and that crazy Spiderman ride was nuts. That whole Marvel section is uber cool....

the Mummy ride was pretty cool too....

then the Shrek 4D show was pretty rad....

I used to spend a lot of time in Orlando and oddly enough the hospital there had an almost entirely vegetarian/vegan menu, burgers, corn dogs and open until 2 am...

Heard it's changed a bit but not sure--

I live in Tampa and Orlando is fun to goto every once in a while. But my girlfriend and I make it a point to goto HHN every single year. It's amazing, really.

Downttown Disney is pretty happening, lots of clubs, bars, restaurants, Im sure some are vegan friendly, cirque du solei, Disney Quest. Its all good. And if you arent too into the mickey mouse thing I would stick to Epcot, Islands of Adventure and Universal Studios

DINNER THEATER!

Years ago I saw the American Gladiators dinner theater show. Real tv gladiators singing and dancing thier way into your hearts as well as competing in the tennis ball cannon thing. Nothings really topped that but I make a point of going to one dinner theater place whenever im down there.

yeah dude, Dolly Parton's Dixie Stampede. They have ostriches!!!

what?! that is great, abe.

I want american gladiators to sing and dance their way into my heart!

Aside from the tribute to the Xfiles, I think the highlight of the show was when the sound guy came out randomly and sang "The Greatest Love of All"

BEAT THAT DISNEY!

Thanks for the info folks, with that in mind and seeing I am a key part of the number one center in our corporation as soon as I turned in the keys in today, I got the promotion and transfer I was wanting.

Life is good for a change

Congrats!
Promotion = More Kaiju
