1. Go to Universal Studios Orlando.
I've been to Orlando twice, but never to Disney World (maybe because I'm a Californian, and we've got Disneyland?). Both times, though, I hit up Universal Studios Orlando. It's way bigger and has got way more rides than Universal Hollywood (although it hasn't got the backlot tour), and if you're a Harry Potter fan, you could spend a full day just exploring Hogsmeade and Diagon Alley, and riding the Hogwarts Express.
2. Eat at Ethos.
It's not exactly cheap, but it is amazing. Ethos is a vegan restaurant, but even steadfast carnivores might enjoy it. See my list of top vegan restaurants.
3. Go canoeing - if you're not afraid of alligators :).
My family did this, and we actually saw an alligator!!! Unfortunately, we are afraid of alligators, and so our trip got a little bogged down (pun intended) by that experience.
4. Stop at Panama City on your way to Orlando.
Not Panama City, Panama - Panama City, Florida. It's the beach! Again, definitely not cheap, but great. The sand is so white there! I'd highly recommend the Holiday Inn at Panama City Beach. The first floor leads right out to the beach, and there's a great pool with dive-in movies, and a neat splash pad. The rooms are nice, too, and with a great view.
5. Go to Disney World.
Especially if you're not from Southern California. If you are and have been to Disneyland, maybe try Epcot? I've never been there, but it's probably less like Disneyland than the Magic Kingdom.
Hope you enjoyed these tips (NOTE: #3 is partially a joke - our canoe ride was actually quite fun, despite the alligator, and it didn't hurt us - you should try canoeing in Florida, but I'd get out if I were you if you see an alligator)!
