  • located just east of orange ave. in downtown orlando is lake eola park. lake eola is an oasis in the middle of the city. pictured is the lake eola fountain which is a landmark of the city. a nice place to visit during the day to jog or just relax and have a picnic lunch. however lake eola park should be avoided after dark due to orlando's large homeless and drug dependant population.

  • by doug48
  • Send Photo to a Friend
  • the most interesting thing to do in downtown disney is the cirque du soleil-la nouba. the story line of la nouba (to party) is the clash of cultures between the circus people, (cirques) and the urban people, (urbains). there are a number of acts using the high wire, trapeze, cycles, trampoline and more. la nouba is a fascinating artistic display of acrobatic skills. the tickets are expensive ranging from $60 to $100 a seat however it is a worthwhile experience.

     Hi Doug! My boyfriend and I will be in Orlando next week and I thought I had picked out all the fun spots for him to see. I've spent a lot of time there but forgot some of the great sites you have on your page, guess I have to rework the itinerary.

     I do not think I have seen a VT site with more top 5 rankings, but I like best that you took the time to do a great job writing about Orlando.
