A bit of the Arabian in Orlando!


Located along the popular tourist area of Highway 192, just off I-4, is Arabian Nights. This arena-sized restaurant is a hub of activity, including two nightly horse stunt shows, fun food and belly dancing. Appropriate for children of all ages, Arabian Nights offers a different type of entertainment than you typically find at Disney and Universal Studios. Yes, you'll be packed in close quarters with hundreds of others, but the ...

A little bit of nature in Orlando


I recently had the opportunity to visit Boggy Creek Airboat Rides. I had family come into town, and they are more nature oriented than theme park oriented. I found Boggy Creek Airboat Rides online, and found they are the closest airboat rides to the city of Orlando. They have two locations, Boggy Creek West - located off Southport Road, and Boggy Creek East - located just off Boggy Creek Road. ...

On a Quest For Fun At Disney?


Part of the reason you travel to Orlando is to see things and visit places you wouldn't see at home.

Take for instance an arcade. Sure your hometown probably has one and Orlando has several; none however can compare to DisneyQuest.

This isn't just an arcade; this is a one of a kind indoor interactive theme park. There are a total of five floors that showcase the latest in gaming technology; virtual ...

One of Orlando's Hot Spots



Citywalk is indeed one of Orlando's top ten hot spots.

Not only does Citywalk include restaurants and bars, but one can also enjoy nightly bands, shopping, a movie theater, boats, and scenic walkways.

Beautiful Downtown Orlando


The weather is so nice outside right now; you should go out and get some fresh air. And what better place to go out and experience the beautiful Orlando weather than downtown Orlando?

Lake Eola is my pick. Located at 195 N. Rosalind Ave, Lake Eola provides spectacular views of downtown Orlando, and is also surrounded by many restaurants and clubs. Instead of staying inside ...

Tuesday Twofers


Even though for us Orlando residents, International Drive conjures up images of insurmountable traffic jams and bewildered tourists it can be one of the best places to find a bargain. On Tuesday I went to meet some out of town guests and stumbled into that great place-the affordable Tuesday drinking and eating emporium..

 

Buffalo Wild Wings sits overlooking the Drive. It is situated on the Orlando City/Orange County Line and is ...

A little bit of Coney Island at Disney


Scattered around the Walt Disney World complex are little gems that are worth a side visit.

One of these is the Boardwalk Resort located near Epcot Center. The resort is right out of Coney Island in the early 1900’s complete with a boardwalk containing shops, a dance hall and several dining options.

The Flying Fish Café is an upscale restaurant serving expertly prepared seafood dishes ranging in the $30-$40 range. On my ...

We Have Liftoff


 

How many places in the country can you go and see a real piece of American history?

If you decide to make a short detour from your trip to Orlando, head to the Space Coast and Kennedy Space Center and you can do just that.

Located less than an hour away from the artificial world of Orlando, KSC has genuine pieces of Americana. It was there that man first soared into space, ...

Surfs Up!


When you think of Orlando, Disney comes to mind.

And while it’s certainly entrenched in the tourist industry in Central Florida, there is so much more that the Central Florida area has to offer, far from the artificial areas that cater to tourists.

 A short hop to the east of Orlando on the highway known as the ‘Beachline’ lies Cocoa Beach.

 You can spend an entire day, or an entire vacation in Cocoa ...
