Here is a couple of ideas-

Entertainment Book

The 2004 Orlando Entertainment Book has a coupon in it for Trattoria del Porto in the Portofino Bay Hotel. It is good for one complimentary lunch or dinner entree when a second lunch or dinner entree of equal or greater value is purchased. Value is up to $16!

"Half-Price" Gift Certificates

Seven Orlando radio stations are offering "half-price" gift certificates for area restaurants, most of which are in CityWalk or the Universal hotels. This offer is worth considering if you will be eating at the sit-down restaurants there, including Hard Rock Cafe, Pastamore, NASCAR Cafe, Pat O'Brien's, Margaritaville, Latin Quarter, Motown Cafe, The Kitchen, etc.

Generally you pay $25 plus shipping and receive either two $25 certificates (which must be used at two different meals) or a $50 certificate. Obviously if you're buying one of the offers that includes two $25 certificates, you'll need to be planning two meals at that same restaurant for this offer to be worthwhile. (Note that the Hard Rock offers sometimes say you're getting one $50 certificate, but people report consistently getting two $25 Hard Rock certificates.)

Some of the gift certificates have various other restrictions (such as being good only at lunch), and they all have expiration dates, so be sure to read all the fine print carefully. Also, be aware that there is a shipping fee of $3.50, so you will actually pay a bit more than 50% of the value.

It appears that each radio station has different inventory, plus there is a main site. New offers are added each week and old offers stay on the site until the certificates sell out. So if you're looking for a particular restaurant and the first site you check is sold out, be sure to check the other sites. The sites to check are:
