For Party Types
Downtown Orlando offers more than a dozen nightclubs, all within walking distance of each other along Orange Avenue, Central Boulevard and Church, Magnolia and Pine streets.  Try the stylish Ybor Martini Bar or laid-back Wall Street Cantina, or for live music head to The Social.  Hip Sky 60 has a South Beach vibe with cabana-style booths and Latitudes features live reggae. Both rooftop clubs have a great view of Orlando’s skyline. A unique hideout is Eye Spy—look for a British telephone booth on Washington Street (that’s the front door). Live comedy is on tap at Orlando Improv on Church Street and at the nearby SAK Comedy Lab, a training ground for new comedians.
 

The International Drive area has its share of nightspots, including POSH Ultra Nighclub, Glo Lounge Orlando, Howl at the Moon Orlando, Backstage at the Rozen Plaza and JJ Whispers.  Or, head to The Cricketers Arms at The Mercado for British cuisine with 17 beers on tap and live entertainment.
 

Downtown Disney’s Pleasure Island has seven clubs, ranging from rock ‘n’ roll to comedy—and one cover price gives admission to all.  Just a short walk away at Downtown Disney West Side is the House of Blues and Bongo’s Cuban Café where a lively Latino band often plays.
 

Universal CityWalk has plenty of after-dark options, from Hard Rock Café and Hard Rock Live to Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville and Bob Marley—A Tribute to Freedom.  For dancing, head to the groove or Latin Quarter.

Dinner for One or Two
If it’s dinner for one, take a seat at the sushi bar at Wolfgang Puck’s Grand Cafe at Downtown Disney West Side, or at the countertop in front of the exhibition kitchen at Flying Fish Cafe at Disney’s BoardWalk or Emeril’s Restaurant Orlando at Universal CityWalk.  The ethereal bar at Todd English’s bluezoo at the Walt Disney World Dolphin hotel is another perfect place to dine solo.
 

Singles and couples appreciate the lively bar at Seasons 52 on Sand Lake Road, the perfect place to wait for a table in the popular restaurant.  Or, venture to Thornton Park’s ultra-chic HUE – A Restaurant for cool, creative dishes, or to Dexter’s of Winter Park with plenty of wines by the glass to pair with the casual fare.
 
Serious Shopping
For Burberry, Gucci, St. John, Tiffany & Co. and more world-class shopping, head to The Mall at Millenia with nearly 150 stores and seven full-service restaurants.  The Florida Mall has 270 stores, from Nordstrom and Saks Fifth Avenue to Pottery Barn.

The curtain rises regularly on Central Florida’s theatrical and dance performances, and there’s no better place to begin than the critically acclaimed Cirque du Soleil’s “La Nouba” at Downtown Disney West Side.  The 90-minute show combines theater, dance, live music, acrobatics, elaborate costuming and gravity-defying stunts in a surreal tale produced only on the Orlando stage.  Nationally touring shows share the stage with dance companies at the Bob Carr Performing Arts Centre; and local productions at Mad Cow Theatre, Orlando-UCF Shakespeare Festival and other venues broaden options. In addition, avant-garde theatre is at its best each spring when the city welcomes the internationally acclaimed Orlando International Fringe Festival set for May 19-29, 2006.

Just Plain Fun 
Consider the ease of a day flying solo in the theme parks, especially if visiting for the blockbuster attractions like Test Track at Epcot or Revenge of the Mummy—The Ride at Universal Studios Florida. Many offer a “single rider line,” making it much quicker to board. Take a swim with the dolphins at Discovery Cove, where singles can join a group for the dolphin experience, spend a lazy afternoon under an umbrella on the sandy beach or snorkel with stingrays.  Or, experience the vertical wind tunnel sky diving experience at SkyVenture Orlando.  If enjoying sports in the Florida sun is the choice, golf courses and tennis centers pair up singles with foursomes or partners.

And Don’t Forget to Relax
To wind down, singles can head to a number of world-class spas, from the exclusive Canyon Ranch SpaClub at the Gaylord Palms Resort & Convention Center to the expansive Ritz-Carlton Spa at Grande Lakes Orlando.  The Spa at The Buena Vista Palace in the WALT DISNEY WORLD Resort serves up an impressive menu of massages, facials, body treatments, as do the Mandara Spas at the Portofino Bay at Universal Orlando and Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin.  The spa at Omni Orlando Resort at ChampionsGate is a perfect way to relax after a round of golf.
