Lorna Lambey is also reviving her act at The Red Fox in Winter Park as well. We are staying at the Peabody across the street from the convention center. Ill do some google map research and check these places out THANKS! And if you play your cards right and can make it over to the coast, the crotchety owner of The Storm Shelter might even make you a Mai Tai or two... Shoot him (me) a PM and I can give you more advise about things to do while you're here. There's much more than the theme parks! Very kind of you! We wont be renting a car so I doubt that I could make the 55 mile trip to Rockledge. But I just checked out your bar, looks AWESOME. :drink: Thanks SO much for the tips/ideas.
