i wanna go to orlando how is Wyndham Orlando Resort

Posted 2 years ago.

Champ Weasel (View Champ Weasel's trips)

wyndham orlando resort was fine. shows its age a bit and is very spread out (we drove from one end to the other and then walked on I-drive to cut down on the walking time).

It was worth the $85 or so I paid as a special price on either hotels.com or tripadvisor. Its certainly functional with a nice pool -- but I wouldnt call it world class!

It sounds like a great trip...but you are completely missing and driving by The Hickory Holow Barbecue in Ellenton Fl. USA Today ranked it in the top ten in the nations barbecue places. Family owned and operated, this NC style BBQ is not to be missed. I am sure all of these places that are shown are very good, but I have found my favorite and continue to let peopple know where to find the good stuff.....Ellenton Fl, The Hickory Hollow!!!
