No southern-style breakfasts here! I quote from the Lonely Planet Florida:
Bagels. A bagel is a disk-shaped bread product made from heavy dough that
has been boiled and then baked. The result is a substantial and chewy roll
with a uniquely textured coating -- the closest comparison would be a real
Bavarian Brez'n. They are usually offered in plain, sesame, poppy, onion, and
garlic. They're available in any diner and most restaurants that serve
breakfast.
Two other Lonely Planet attractions that I missed:
Reige's Firearms, Orlando. Foreigners will be aghast at the
ease with which this shooting range rents handguns and semiautomatic weapons to
anyone -- anyone -- over age 21. Children over 10 can play, too, as long as
they're accompanied by an adult. Rent the range for an hour ($6) and a gun
($6). Choose anything from a Glock to a Smith & Wesson .44 magnum.
Semiautomatics cost a bit more. They'll give you a basic training on safety,
and then it's all up to you. Blammity-blam-blam!
Holy Land Experience. Orlando's only Christian theme park!
It's designed to look like Jerusalem circa 33 AD, and staff (most of whom are
Israeli imports) wear flowing Bedouin robes and hawk Middle Eastern treats like
mint tea, tabouli, and the best felafel I have ever eaten. There aren't any
rides, despite obvious Old Testament candidates like teh Parting of the Red
Sea. My favorite part was the Wilderness Tabernacle, which takes you back 3400
years to see the nine different ways Moses' older brother sacrificed sheep to
God, complete with a light-and-sound spectacular reminiscent of Raiders of
the Lost Ark.
