I-Drive
Hey there guys I was just wondering if those of you with any experience of I-drive could maybe recommend anything worth doing over there?
My folks are staying there for quite a few nights while we're all over there ya see and we figured we should really give it a go and spend some time over that way with them rather than just expecting them to always come to us...any cool stuff to try? We have zero experience of that whole area, so any help greatly appreciated, thank you

There's quite a lot to do there. Pirates Cove adventure golf is fun, there's Wonderworks, Ripley's Believe It or Not, the Orlando Eye, Aquatica and Sea World, loads of places to eat, this link will give you tons of ideas .internationaldriveorlando/things-to-do/

Yes they are, or at least they are to me, what we've done in the past is buy a weekly pass for the I Trolley that goes up and down I Drive.

I can recommend the Orlando Eye.
And if the weather is terrible there is always the 24-screen Cinemark @ Artegon Marketplace, 5150 International Drive (across the road from Bed Bath & Beyond). This place has undergone a major restoration and by all accounts this cinema is a fantastic place to go if you don't want to go to the cinema at Universal. There are also restaurants in the complex. And don't forget the local Lynx buses that go up and down I-Drive are just as good...more frequent and less crowded than the I-Ride trolley buses.
