Just 12 miles south of Highway 192 on Poinciana Boulevard lies a peaceful farm filled with horses. Though the farm sits just off busy Poinciana Blvd., once you saddle up on your horse and begin to ride through hundreds of acres of untouched beauty, you'll forget about traveling by car at all.
The farm boasts several dozen horses, each of which are well suited for any level of rider. If you've ...

‘When the moon hits you're eye like a big pizza pie...that's amore!'
Every time I hear that Dean Martin classic I can only think of one thing; Italian food!
And when I think of Italian food there's only one place that in my mind can satisfy that craving Buca Di Beppo. This isn't your average Italian joint. This nationwide chain, which boasts 95 locations nationwide, features restaurants that are less dining and ...

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.

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. ...

There is one subject where it is always best to ask the locals: where to eat. There are tons of unique restaurants and bars in Orlando, but there are also the same chains you have in your hometown. The question is though "Which chain location is the best?"
Take Cici's Pizza for example (http://www.cicispizza.com). There were at least five locations that I knew of in Orlando.. and then I searched ...

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 my favorite restaurants in Orlando is right in the heart of the tourist district, along International Drive. Bergamo's is a cozy Italian restaurant that packs a big surprise!
Along with the excellent cuisine you'll eat, your server is secretly harboring a Broadway-worthy, powerful voice. Every evening beginning at 7 p.m., these servers will entertain you along with bringing your food. Once the show starts, you can look forward to ...
