Avant-guide Disney World And Orlando: Insiders' Guide to Progressive Culture

Treats the world's number one travel destination as a city unto itself, with distinct neighborhoods, world-class resorts, cosmopolitan nightlife, and top-rated dining, Avant-Guide Disney World and Orlando covers all Disney and Universal theme parks as well as Orlando and other area attractions. Geared to veteran Disney travelers looking for a new approach to their favorite destination, and to those with or without children looking for fun and relaxation in a world full of postmodern "guilty pleasures," the guide details recreational activities, including underwater diving with sharks (in a protected cage of course); driving real stock cars on the Walt Disney World Speedway; and participating in an authentically retro Polynesian luau. Inside tips on Orlando's overlooked dining, entertainment, and cultural offerings, from the many quaint and historic neighborhoods to glitzy, cosmopolitan nightlife and shopping, are offered.
