Does anyone know if there is an Apple Store in Orlando?

I bought some triners at premium mall last night got a good deal at the nike shop and also in he timberland shop it is on vineland road junction 68 I think off of the I4. Hope this helps.
Am in florida for a few more days so let me know if there is anything else you want to know.

I used a website called www.thedibb.co.uk it is more uk based than the diss so more relevant to us brits. Most of the people on ther have been to florida loads of times and know the place inside out.
Hope that it helps some of you.

Yes there is 1 at either Florida Mall or Mall at Millenia.

Thanks I checked on Google Maps and there's one in each and another one in Orlando. So three.

Hi everyone, we are planning to take the kids back to Florida in February 2010. I'm going to use airmiles for the flights and I quite fancied doing the villa thing because it's cheap but hubby loves being on the resort so I'm trying to book that too.

Does anyone know where I can book the disney hotels without flights other than the official disney.go site? I'm struggling to find somewhere.

How about expedia? They definitely do them and you can use Nectar points as well.

Also www.hotels.com

Ok

We looked at Netflights and definately going to hire a car- for 75 quid for the basic, it will definately be worth it, we can take the Iride when weve had a cocktail or two :beer:

We would like to keep the accomodation costs as low as poss, and been looking on hotels.com and see a number of "basic" motels for around the 15 quid a night mark. Im happy to pay up to 30- but this end has to have some level of value added.

Has anyone got any particular recommendations for the budget end? I guess the best place would be international drive? Or would it be kissimmee? Wed like to be able to get out to some real nightlife- we have no kids so can stay out as late as we like

Kissimmee looks like the place for nightlife- plus of course all the others like city walk, PI etc.

Decisions, decisions- can anyone help
