Most, if not all of our Orlando Vacation home renters visit our area to go to Walt Disney World. Well what is there to do when it is raining outside?

Here are a few suggestions:
1.)  Wonder Works Comedy Magic Dinner Show:

Wonder Works is an “upside down attraction”.  At night they provide an improv comedy and magic routine that is family friendly.  The menu is a highly sophisticated offering of all you can eat pizza, salad, popcorn and dessert with a side of beer and soda. Reservations recommended to guarantee Seating!

2.) Orlando Science Center:

This is an excellent vacation day for kids and one of the few cheap things to do in Orlando.  As of February 2010: Amazon (Feb. 20), Frogs- Beyond Green, SkyWatch and many more.

3.) Titanic The Experience :

This unique Titanic museum offers an amazing opportunity to tour a replica, with actors dressed in period costumes working as tour guides to enhance the experience. Take the adventure back in time!

4.)  Medieval Times :

Spend you evening being taken back into the 11th century with the No. 1  Dinner attaction and Tournament show in North America. The unique combination of medieval banquet and thrilling competition between Knights captures the imaginations of all ages.
