1. Go to the beaches. Cocoa Beach is very nice and only 45 minute drive from Orlando.
2. They have really great outfits, so the clothes are cheaper. It won't cost as much as regular shopping. Cocoa beach is also really nice and its a really clean beach. You could also go mini putting that isnt expensive and there are a whole bunch everywhere you go. Hope I helped!
3. I think without the theme parks orlando is boring
4. When i was a kid/teen, we used to love to visit Old Town in Kissimmee every time we went to the Orlando area. Its a really neat old town Americana place where you can just walk around and check stuff out. They used to have a gem mining thing there that was my favorite thing to do. They also had a place at the end of the street where you could buy a Coke in a glass bottle for 30 cents and if you returned the bottle, you got a quarter back. http://www.old-town.com/ Old Town stores are open 365 days a year, from 10:00am-11:00pm. The amusement rides are open from 12:00pm-11:00pm Monday-Sunday (Rides usually stay open later on weekends and may vary seasonally). Bars are open until 2:00am.
5. hunting alligators,lol just kidding well, their is alot of national parks that have camping and different activities. there is this park which i love, in apopka fl. its called kelly park and its a crystal clear natural river. just pay one buck per person, also their is a cruise boat, called sterling casino in cape canaveral, its free, all u can eat and drink, but u have to call and make reservations. their is also downtown disney and citywalk for nightlife adventure. u could also go to museums, they are not expensive. u could go to st.agustine historical town. fl. has alot of places u could go for a few bucks and even for free, besides theme parks.
