Go onto I-Drive which runs parallel to I-4 and has a bunch of tourist attractions. On there you have places such as Wonder Works and Wet n' Wild which is around that area. If you want to play tourist, you need to go through this area. I also find it funny to go to all of the gift shops since every one is the worlds "largest/biggest/hugest" gift shop. That is me personally though. Another thing you could do is head north on I-4 and go to the Mall at Mellinia which has an Apple store in it .

Old town is one of the biggest rip offs there is. It's a huge tourist trap. Granted it's a lot of fun but the only thing of value in that place is the 25cents for a pepsi. Eric, what is this SR192 you call it? It has 4 names, State Road 192, 192, Vine Street, Irlo Bronson Memorial High Way

Citrus world is fun .

As for an apple store, you could go the Florida Mall on OBT. It's closer.

Theres things like Gatorland, and Airboat rides (I've always loved those expecially the one in SouthPort, it's a bit out of the way but it's beautiful). You could go to the historic districts of Kissimmee and St. Cloud.

It might be in the big tourist books, but Cypress Gardens is pretty fun, if you like nature and simple rides.

If you would of been in FL a week later you could of gone to Mission Mayhem .

I'll be attending FIT (9 more days!) so if you want to drop by on your exploration day (if they let you) just send me a PM.

If I think of anything else I'll send you a line.
