Due to the nature of the attractions throughout Orlando (i.e. Disney, Universal, etc), this city is filled with gay boys. Although I have been to Orlando to go to the parks before (specifically for Gay Days at Disney), this trip I chose to stay downtown. If you are looking for more of the "city" experience, then downtown is the place to stay. If you are coming to Orlando to go to the theme parks, then I would definitely stay closer to those areas.
Although there are a lot of companies with offices in Orlando (this is the 3rd largest city in Florida), my feeling that most of the gay boys live in Orlando to work in the hospitality industry. There are a number of good bars in Orlando (including Firestone) and even a popular hotel/nightclub (Parliament House). I have not been to Parliament House in about 10 years, but last time I was there it was an interesting experience to say the least. It is basically an old motor lodge with outside walkways. The rooms all have large windows facing the walkway. The guest are all gay....and the place is cruisy as hell! When I walked around the complex, I saw everything from group orgies to guys jacking off in their rooms. If you are an exhibitionist, this is definitely the place to stay. There is also a nightclub attached to the motel, so guys go back and forth from the dance floor to the guest rooms. Like I mentioned before, I have not been there in about 10 years, but from what everyone told me when I was in Orlando, nothing has changed. It is still as cruisey as ever.
If you want somewhere to go for sex, then Club Orlando is a great option. I have not been here for about 5 years, but the one thing I remember is how nice a complex it is. A relaxing pool and hot tub outside and a pretty good gym inside. This makes for a nice Sunday afternoon experience. Of course, if you are horny, then there are plenty of places to take care of that too....this being a bathhouse.
If you are a gym guy like myself, then the LA Fitness on Colonial Drive is the place for you. This gym has it all....great equipment, hot guys (both straight and gay), and a pool if you want to swim. This is definitely the place to workout in Orlando!!!!
