We are going to Orlando in May 2008 - we haven't been since 1999 - so imagine it will have changed a lot since then!
When we went before we didn't try anything in the evenings (usually too tired after the theme parks in the day) so would welcome any information about the best things to try at night - we are both in our late 50's - but still fit and active.
Have heard that the fireworks displays are really good, what time do they start and finish etc. and which are the best.
Haven't tried Downtown Disney or anything like that, what's actually there.
I am so excited, just like a big kid, can't wait to go back.
The fireworks are really good!
Magic Kingdom at 10pm (which always makes me cry)
Epcot 9pm
MGM I think its about 9pm and 10pm or 9.30pm and 10.30pm...forget
Downtown disney is really good with lots of bars in Pleasure Island and night clubs...comedy clubs.
If you have the ultimate pass for the disney parks the clubs / comedy are all free!

The best club we went to in December was 8-Trax - it plays 70s and 80s cheesy music and i loved it - we went here on my 21st birthday and they put my name and "happy birthday" on the big huge screen! And i was constantly up requesting songs like "Hey Mickey" from the 80s, just for a wee blast from the past! Its well worth a visit! But watch those cocktails - i only had 2 and i was giggling like a mad woman lol
We liked Cafe Tu Tu Tango on I drive they, the walls are covered with art and they have acts and dancers through out the evening.
Also on I drive was Bahama Breeze that served very good food, and the 24 hour diner at The Peabodys Hotel was great fun, you could sit at the counter or in a booth. The food was first class. It is like a 50s film set.
We also went to Hooters because the children had seen it on TV, and my husband liked being served by young girls in white running vests and orange hot pants.
There is also a very nice Italian restaurant called "Antonio's" just around the corner from Columbia and I'm sure you won't be disappointed with the food or service there either.
Celebration is designed to be very pedestrian friendly with many shops within easy walking distance for you.
I am of a similar age and normally have no interest in bikes or cars - but this is a great evening and the proud owners are constantly polishing their bikes and old cars. Parking is also free!!
The mercado is also quite lively on a night-that's on I drive.
I give a big thumbs up to Bahama Breeze on I drive.
Was disappointed with cafe tutu tango on last vsit last year-food was not as good..
Citywalk is also very good-but at Universal is a bit further out.
My son used to like the proper 'clubbing' clubs down on orange avenue.
JT's is a bar where people tend to gather to shoot a bit of pool.
But Celebration is a good choice as is Old Town-if you are in to semi precious stones-don't miss the huge store that I did.
Fab in there!!!
Try the Orlando Ale House at Lake Buena Visita...we had good food and there was good atmosphere there..
Is it sitable for 13,11, 9. year old kids or will they get bored.
As for kids getting bored-they might like to play in the fountains, walk round the lake, sit and have a soda and watch the world go by.
There's also a little cinema with 2 screens.
At weekends there's often a craft market (sundays I think.)
Just a nice chill out place.
