My husband and I are planning to celebrate our anniversary in Orlando next year. What are the attractions should we see? What hotel is the best place to stay? I am thinking of Hilton Hotel but maybe it will be expensive? What food should we try?

You could go to themeparks, which Orlando has a ton of. When I went I went to the two by Universal Studios. I forget the names but one had more rides than the other. I also went to the Epcot Center in Disney World and didn't enjoy that as much as a kid. We didn't get to see the other parks because we were so poor and couldn't afford them. I think Busch Gardens would have been cool to. Not sure if they have a SeaWorld around there. We stayed in a timeshare so no hotel advice from here. I forgot what we ate too. Sorry I can't be of more help.

Thanks, this is helpful. I have seen that Epcot thing but I don't know what to see there. What can we see in the Busch Garden? I search it and I have seen animals. Is it like a zoo or something?

I think that you might like to spend on week in Orlando and another week in at the coast. In Orlando you might like to visit Disney World, Bush Gardens and Universal Studios. You could stay in a cheaper place than the Hilton Hotel perhaps. Maybe you could try eating out a few establishments in Orlando. Good luck with your trip.

So, you are planning to go to Disney world, or the sea world in Orlando right? I been there with my best friend on summer time, and it was awesome. Although we didn't bring much money with us, but it was worth it. We didn't stay in expensive motel or hotel though. We only stay in Best Western, and we had blast there. I would definitely want to go there one more time.

The two parks at Universal are Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure--since you are going to focus on Universal, make sure to see both--they are very different and lots of fun! And don't miss the new Harry Potter section, although expect long lines there. There are often combo ticket passes that include Universal and Seaworld or Busch Gardens--I would suggest one of those, since it means Seaworld is basically free. Busch Gardens is about 1 hour away, in Tampa, so it you are not renting a car, it is a long hike & tough to get to. Seaworld, on the other hand, is very close to Universal. Plan on one full day for wach of the parks, if not more. And, fyi, you can go to Downtown Disney (shopping area, restaurants, movie theater, jazz clubs, etc.) for free--you do not need to buy any park admission ticket first. I highly recommend it to get at least a "taste" of Disney, but make reservations at one of the restaurants ahead of time--they get crowded quickly.
