So posters from NYC don't like you, and now posters from other places in the South don't either. You sure know how to make friends.

Listen when you get off the heroin and venture outside your perfect little "Southeast" Kingdom, do yourself a favor and travel a little bit. Orlando defines podunk. There is no city in the world worse than Orlando, a 14 year olds getaway over hyped garbage city. People from other countries probably save their life's worth of money to visit America and when they have a family they end up in Orlando. Disappointed to go back home and say "I saw America, and there was nothing special about it", because they spent their time in an irrelevant podunk that shouldn't exist.

People want Disney? Go to LA/OC, far superior city, more amenities, better everything than that flat wasteland Orlando. Orlando the most irrelevant podunk I have ever had the displeasure to step foot in.

My vote is for San Antonio, far more of a real city. Good history, fantastic Mexican food, superb shopping, and something Orlando will never have- a attractive downtown.

Orlando recieves more tourists than San Antonio and is a bigger destination but becasue of Disney World. If Orlando didn't have theme parks what is there to do? San Antonio has so much history and culture. San Antonio has something for everyone and Orlando on a much lesser scope.

Orlando is the Vegas for Kids!
Who is trying to emulate the river walk?

lol, I think it is more of a pond than a ditch.


I wonder how many tourist visit SA multiple times?

I mean, you can say nonsense like Orlando is just Disney, but the fact of the matter is you can visit for a whole week once a year for years and still be anxious to go back, but for San Antonio, well you can visit the Alamo and the Riverwalk in an evening an be done with the city. Most people come out from the Alamo saying one thing "i didn't realize it was so tiny.

trust me, Orlando is a top five destination for a reason. people want to go back.
Like some one said before, SA is a destination for McAllen folks

Ahh, thought he meant on a national level. San Antonio riverwalk for what it is worth has a distinct look.

I've been to San Antonio twice, and yes the alamo is rather small.
