Moving to Florida
Despite my best efforts, my 14-year self-imposed exclusion from FL is coming to an end. The uberboss is sending me to a conference in March for a few days.
So, given than one or two of you live out there, what's good in Orlando these days? Anything non-Disney worth seeing? Decent veggie restaurants?
Oh yeah, almost forgot - What kind of veesah do I need?

If I were you I'd get a car and bugger off out of there during your down time.

If you empty the contents of your wallet onto the counter you can go and watch dolphins jump through hoops at Seaworld and a big wham bam production called Shamu which involves a whale. There are plenty of veggie restaurants, just ask them to omit the burger as you drive thru.

One of the fun parts of Epcot for me is the World Showcase - little countries (China, Japan, Canada) - so you can have breakfast in a French cafe, lunch at a British pub, and dinner at a Morrocan souk.
Plus, of course, if you ever leave the US, you know you'll spend the rest of your life having to explain that although youl ived in Florida you didn't go to Disney ....

It was even better when it was a one donkey village called Jerrigan ...
The name was changed to Orlando in 1857 to honor soldier Orlando Reeves who was killed by an Indian arrow while on duty as a sentinel. The U.S. Postal Service recognized the city on July 21, 1875. Its population was only 85.
