@Jim – There’s always stuff to do in Orlando beyond the theme parks. Check out Orlando’s great neighborhoods: Winter Park, College Park, Downtown & Thornton Park. There’s a new-ish Zip Line here if you’re feeling adventurous, a nice boat ride through Winter Park’s Chain of Lakes, lots of Farmers Markets, etc. Here’s a link to our newspaper’s Event page: http://findlocal.orlandosentinel.com/events-and-festivals, and of course, you can always check back here for more info. Enjoy your stay.

I know this article is old and not sure if anyone will read this, but find myself in Orlando Mid April and do not want to do the Theme parks, I remembered seeing Samantha Brown’s show on it and so went searching for the episode.

The wine bar sounds great, but are there any other things to do? Are there any festivals, or other things? Thanks.

@Mark I agree completely with you. I've never heard of Eduardo's. What sort of food do they have?

the show was nice, but needed much more. I lived in Orlando for two years( worked for the mouse ) and I always tell my wife I want to move back. I consider it home. No one ever believes me that life down there was fun without spending 24/7 in the parks. I loved exploring the little towns that surround Orlando. Anyone ever eat at Eduardo’s in Mt.Dora? Awesome, if it’s still there.

@Veronique If you can believe it, I still haven't been to the Wine Bar. I think I'm afraid I'll love it too much, and spend WAY too much money. @Gustavo I agree, both about Samantha being awesome and about her covering more area in Central Florida. There are so many great neighborhoods and sights to see that weren't even featured. Hey...maybe next time she's in town she should meet-up with myself and klynn, and we'll show her around?!?!?

Samantha is awesome! The show was pretty good, though I wish they would have included a blurb on Thornton Park.

I love the Wine Bar and go there whenever a visiting friend/relative comes into town. It’s also a great place to hang out after the Movies in the Park deal that WP does on Thursdays. They have a neat Mike Ditka wine and a Dan Marino wine, how wacky!

Cliff:

I nearly fell out off my couch when I heard her say that! I thought it was so funny, especially coming out of her mouth.

Best line of the show was at the Wine Room, “If I pass out on the floor, be sure to put a little salami in my mouth”

I actually liked the episode. Sure it’d be nice for a longer show about the non-theme-park stuff in Orlando, but all of Brown’s “Passport” shows are 30 min. I think she did a good job of presenting a cross-selection of other cool stuff to do in town when visiting.
