Busch Garden is a theme park near Tampa. It has more impressive roller coaster rides than the African animals on exhibition.
We enjoyed the Christmas on Ice show, reminding one of the Radio City Music Hall Rockettes in New York City. However we dozed off during Katonga -- the African theme is just skin-deep over an entertainment form that is essentially American.
We had fun taking a rapid ride where people on a raft got wet or totally soaked based on your fortune.
The thrill rides are incredible here if you are into that type of things.
Avoid the train ride, which takes forever to get on and offers little to view.

This is a great restaurant with superb service. We went to the one on the International Dr. While waiting to be seated, you can order a drink, sit on the patio, and enjoy a performance of relaxing Caribbean music.

This is the main touristy avenue lined with shops and restaurants.
The Premium Outlets and Prime Outlets are two big shopping malls at each end of the road. A bus goes up and down the line and cost $1 per ride or $3 for the day.
The road is intersected by a couple of perpendicular roads and it is easy to lose directions. Signs are poorly posted in general. Oftentimes it goes through long stretch of rural areas that are pitch black in the evenings.

Orlando, FL was surrounded by marshland before Disney went in and started building theme parks in the 70s. This artificial imposition makes the place largely charmless, unless you come with kids or are entirely into theme parks. However, being in Florida, you can still relax and have a lot of fun.
The rest of the attractions are quite a letdown.
