After going to Orlando last year (against my better judgement) & loving every moment, we have booked to go again next year.

Doing all Disney parks, Discovery Cove, Sea world & Kennedy Space Center.

Mrs wants a couple of days shopping, any suggestions as to good shopping venues?

If you took 'the car', you'd be there in three hours.
Apart from the fact we'd have to make 4 trips & have to refuel every 20seconds!!

Have you ever actually visited the City of Orlando and the environs to the north and east of the metro area, versus the tourist hell that is Kissimmee/Davenport/Lake BV? It doesn't sound like you have.
I'd love some pointers as to places to go in the city for a day trip

Give me some idea of your circumstances/interests and I'll try to help if I can. I'm English, but have lived in metro Orlando for the past 13 years, so am reasonably familiar with this area.

So, are children involved? Day and or night? Relaxed or action-packed? Driving or public transport? Indoor or outdoor? Arts/Sports/Dining/Boozing?

What are you looking for?
Looking to go for a day, through to the evening, taking in a bit of "non mall" shopping, somewhere nice to eat, with my 10 & 13 y/o daughters & my wife
