Unfortunately, quite a bit of content on this subject was lost during the crash. Pending updating new information on kitebeaches, I will toss out some general comments here.
For folks visiting Orlando, most agree that the inland lakes are not particularly riding at given uneven inland winds. Cocoa Beach is about 1 hour by car to the east along Beeline Hwy. and Tampa/St. Pete are about 2 1/2 hours to the west.
For some content on Tampa/St. Pete, Jeff Weiss of kitemare.com had put together some good resources at:

Jeff also teaches in Cocoa and has prepared some information at:

Laitham Kelly, the FKA Cocoa AC could also help out with local information and precautions at:
laithamkellum@321kite.com
Lots of realtime, archived wind information and other related info appears at ikitesurf.com
an east coast weather site appears at:

Have a good trip!
