Cool!

FL is a great place to be. I'm in Kissimmee, which is a tad bit south of Orlando. Hope you are having a good time!

BTW, Disney is in Kissimmee, not Orlando.

Kis-simm-ee :)

Millenia mall is very nice, but from what I understand, it is super expensive and pretty exclusive to the wealthier group. I myself have never been in it, but I drove by it not too long ago.

I work in the Florida Mall, and its probally a much more casual enviroment, but its very busy.

Not that great. Its pretty small.
Although the name suggest high scale, its surrounded by ghetto neighborhoods.

Used to also be the largest McDonalds.

Yep. It's a pretty nice looking mall, but pretty damn expensive as well. Burberry, Jimmy Chu, LV...all sorts of designer stores in there. Worth it just to take a look around, though.

Other than that, I'd recommend Universal Studios/Adventure Islands. They also have that citywalk thing at night with the whole IMAX theater and all...pretty cool stuff. But yes, very expensive. I think a one day ticket to Adventure Islands was around $40-50. Yeah, we only went for one day.

"Oh no" I said, "Disneyland burned down."

They cried and cried. I was about to take them to the real Disneyland, but it was getting late.

I went there today and actually had pasta :D They have a bunch of other foods there besides the regular McDonalds fare.

Oh, I also ordered a water with my meal, then I forgot when I went up to the soda fountain and got a diet coke. I felt guilty for a few minutes then remembered I paid $9.00 for my meal :)

Which one did you go to ?? The one with the big fries on the outside or the upscale one ??
If you got pasta, I'm guessing the upscale one ??

Our franchise came up with the PANINI concept for McDonalds.
The Corp. is studying it to see if its feasible to place them in other McDonalds.
Did anyone of you tired the PANINI ?? Its actually very good but pricey.
When ever people hear $5.XX for just a sandwich, they immediately think its to much.
But if you ever stop in any place that sells PANINI( like Panera Bread), they cost more and do not taste as good. And I'm not being bias.

Yep, my wife had that. It was pretty darned good! They'd have to market McDonalds totally differently to make that stuff fly though. Probably have to sell it under a different name. Anyway...yes...it was really good!
