Orlando is a good place to get group rates because so many conferences come through there, but I'm not sure there's anything to *do* other than Disney.
Some years back friends and I went on an Orlando vacation and actually stayed in Kissimmee close to Old Town, which might appeal to buffistas who aren't crazy about the full theme park experience. It's more like a market bazaar with a Ferris Wheel and carousel in the middle. The prices weren't too high at the place we stayed either, we got a 2-bedroom suite for about $99 a night (back in the mid 90s).

MAGIC KINGDOM MAGIC KINGDOM MAGIC KINGDOM! Wheeee, Haunted Mansion with Buffistas!
(What? You people know my views on Disney parks. Even if Pete has said in no uncertain terms that we ARE NOT setting foot in a Disney part for at least 2-3 years.)
But this would be an exception, right? I have mad theme park hate and even I would make an exception for F2F.

I don't know. In the past three years, we've been to a Disney thing three times. Which is NOT ENOUGH for me, but Pete Has Views.
I have mad theme park hate
I expect all of you people to feel differently when I become insanely famous and the JilliLand theme park becomes a reality.
I thought there was a strong case a while back for having the next F2F in Salem, MA.
I have mad theme park hate
Going to Disneyland with Nilly is a sure way to cure that.
At least temporarily.

I'm in! Actually, now that you say that, I've always kinda wanted to go to Dollywood. And I *do* like some parks, with neat rollercoasters and fun rides and fizzy food. I just don't care for Disney. And long lines.

I would buy a lifetime pass.
