Fellow NT's School me on Orlando

[Moheezy]

Sup NT fam,

I've been a long time lurker here and I don't post often, but when I do, I try not to embarrass anyone...

Anyway, I live in Canada and Ive been planning a trip to Orlando with my wife at the end of March. I have never been to the states and I would love to hear your thoughts on the place.
Other than the main attractions, what are the places that I should check out in my time there? Local restaurants (preferrebly Halala)? Shopping centres etc...
Do I need to rent a car or is the transportation system sufficient?

Some of the things that I plan to do would be to visit Universal sutdios and watch Orlando vs Toronto (My fisrt NBA game); other than that, I don't have anything else planned out. I kinda like to go with the flow when it come to these things, my wife is the exact opposite though.

The reason I am asking NT is because I grew up reading this thread on a daily basis since 01 back when I lived in Saudi Arabia (Moved to Canada in 0. I would very much appreciate your advice on your experience there.

Thanks in advance!
