On first impressions, Orlando appears to be a fairly uninspiring city. It seems to consist solely of theme parks and major highways. Major highways that are lined by the usual American suspects - McDonalds, KFC, Starbucks, Tim Hortons etc. Add to that tempting mix, a diverse range of hotels, a series of tacky gift shops, lots of small dodgy looking amusement parks and huge numbers of neon lit all-you-can-eat restaurants, and that is Orlando. If you are into theme parks and eating a lot of crap, then Orlando may be the place for you, but from my first impressions, I wouldn't recommend it. But, I will get out and do some exploring over the next few days, you never know what you might find when you dig a little further beyond your first impressions.
