Most everything around Orlando is geared for tourists. Great fun for kids...if dad has a thick, full wallet. But if you happen to be near Kissimmee
(pronounced "kuh-SIM-mee") on the weekend, you need to check out the "Saturday Night Cruise at Old Town". It`s on Hwy 192 just a mile east of I-4. You`ll see the ferris wheel. Free parking & admission. They start letting cars in about 4PM, and at 8:30 PM, they line them all up and cruise through the brick streets of Old Town. Lots of shops to browse or eat in. Usually between 200 to 300 pre-1972 cars every Saturday night!

If you're going next month during "spring break", motel rooms will be expensive and hard to find.
You may want to stop in Daytona to visit the speedway and NASCAR's "Daytona USA". Bike week is early in the month so don't go until after March 10 (unless you like the action).
