As part of our AirTran Free Recession Buster Getaway Contest series, I'm travelling to sunny Orlando for a few days next week. Home of Disney World and the Convention Capital of the southern United States, I'm setting out to find the other side of Orlando; the hidden gems of cultural, culinary and visitor-worthy distinction.
Every winter and spring, hundreds of Wisconsinites flock to the coastal beaches of Florida for a warm vacation or spring break. But, what about landlocked Orlando? Boasting the same sunny weather, where would you visit if you had a couple days in Orlando?
So, aside from Walt Disney World and the surrounding theme parks, what are your visitor's suggestions for Orlando? Let me know and we'll see where I end up next week on my mini-vacation.
OnMilwaukee.com staff writer Maureen Post grew up in Wauwatosa. A lover of international and urban culture, Maureen received a bachelor’s degree in sociology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
After living on the east side of Madison for several years, Maureen returned to Milwaukee in 2006.
After a brief stint of travel, Maureen joined OnMilwaukee.com as the city’s oldest intern and has been hooked ever since. Combining her three key infatuations, Milwaukee’s great music, incredible food and inspiring art (and yes, in that order), Maureen’s job just about fits her perfectly.
Residing in Bay View, Maureen vehemently believes the city can become fresh and new with a simple move across town.
