Everyone has got to love International Drive. International Drive is the place to be if you are in Orlando Florida. It is a long strip of fun, food, shows, people, and events. We went everywhere on the Drive and it took us our entire 2 and a half week holiday. Our hotel was big and very comfortable. If we did not like something in it, the staff made sure that they fixed it right away. They were always there when we called and provided many items that we need. Toothpaste, shampoos, and shower gel were all free. Outside of the hotel we had our choice of a wide array of things to do. We played mini golf which is harder than it sounds. We say weird things in the upside down building. We got absolutely soaked at the water park called Wet ‘n Wild. We rode down slides that extended for ages and rode rubber doughnuts down small tubes. To get to places that we could not walk around we took the I-Drive trolley that opened at 8am and closed at 10:30pm. When we stayed out longer we took a cab (taxi) that was ready available and cheap. We ate food at a restaurant that had hanging cars and ate at TGI Fridays. Everywhere we ate was cheap and even better when you thought of the conversion rates. Our favorite set of clubs, shopping, and food was Pointe Orlando which was an entire entertainment villiage. It had movie theatres and great places to walk and take photos and the amount of people was never overwhelming. I-Drive had all of our holiday pleasures from sling shot rides to quite evenings by the pool and driving up the road for beach fun. All you can eat buffet and colorful wonders. We must keep going back.
