[QUOTE=OrangeBlossomBaby;2461182]I have to do something in Orlando next week in the evening, so I figured I'd go for the day. I don't have any specific things I want to see, but I'm on a budget so not interested in 5-star restaurants, or anywhere that requires more than a couple bucks to get in (maybe an art or science museum or two).

Another vote for Winter Park. Specifically, Park Ave where it intersects with Morse Blvd. Plenty of restaurants many with outdoor seating. Plenty of shops.
Would recommend spending an hour on their scenic boat ride which launches about 3 blocks east of Park Ave on Morse Blvd.

The tuition for Rollins College in 2025 is as follows:
Undergraduate Programs: $60,580.

These figures reflect the costs for the 2024-2025 academic year.
