During your Orlando vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Peabody Ducks
One of the best shows in town is short but sweet, and, more importantly, free. The Peabody Orlando's five mallards march into the lobby each morning, accompanied by John Philip Sousa's "King Cotton March" and their own red-coated duck master. They get to spend the day splashing in a marble fountain. Then, in the afternoon, they march back to the elevator and up to their 4th-floor "penthouse." Donald Duck never had it this good. Allow 1 hour.
Harry P. Leu Gardens
This 50-acre botanical garden on the shores of Lake Rowena offers a serene respite from the theme-park razzle-dazzle. Paths lead through giant camphors, moss-draped oaks, palms, cicadas, and camellias -- the latter represented by one of the world's largest collections: 50 species and some 2,000 plants that bloom from October through March. There are 75 varieties of roses in the site's formal gardens, as well as orchids, azaleas, desert plants, and colorful annuals and perennials. The attraction also has palm, bamboo, and butterfly gardens. Businessman Harry P. Leu, who donated his 49-acre estate to the city in the 1960s, created the gardens. There are $7 guided tours of his house, built in 1888, on the hour and half-hour (advance reservations suggested). The interior has Victorian, Chippendale, and Empire furnishings and pieces of art. Admission is free Mondays from 9am to noon. It takes about 2 hours to see the house and gardens.
Orlando Museum of Art
This local heavyweight handles some of the most prestigious traveling exhibits in the nation. The museum, founded in 1924, hosts special exhibits throughout the year, but even if you miss one, it's worth a stop to see its rotating permanent collection of 19th- and 20th-century American art, pre-Columbian art dating from 1200 B.C. to A.D. 1500, and African art. Allow 2 to 3 hours.
Embassy Suites Hotel
This is another hotel with a run-of-the-mill exterior hiding an impressive interior atrium highlighted by brick and wrought iron accents, palm trees, and lush foliage. Eight floors of suites surround the atrium, some with balconies overlooking the courtyard below. Suites are fairly spacious, with separate living and sleeping areas. This is one of the few hotels to offer both an indoor and outdoor pool. Another big advantage: The proximity to I-Drive's nightlife, restaurants, and shops. There's a complimentary reception in the evenings.
Holiday Inn Sunspree Resort Lake Buena Vista
Just a mile from the Disney parks, this inn caters to kids in a big way. They can check in at their own check-in desk, watch a movie at the theater in the lobby area, or have fun at Camp Holiday, the supervised activity center (one of the best around). The hotel's 231 Kid Suites have beds for up to six and themes (an igloo, a space capsule, castle, and more); however, standard rooms are also available. If you like sleeping in, ask for a room that doesn't face the pool area. Kids under 12 eat free in their own restaurant, though fine dining it isn't (kids won't care about that anyway). The resort also offers plenty of other dining options. Recent renovations have spruced up appearances throughout, and additional improvements are scheduled.Facilities: Restaurant; food court; mini mart; outdoor heated pool; kids' pool; fitness center; Jacuzzi; playground; supervised children's center (fee); family activities; children's movie theater; arcade; Guest Services desk; free shuttle to Disney parks, transportation to non-Disney parks for a fee; limited room service; laundry service; valet.
Staybridge Suites
Like its Lake Buena Vista cousin, this hotel is friendly, well run, and neat as a pin. Price and spacious one- and two-bedroom suites (the latter 550 sq. ft., with beds for eight) are two of its biggest pluses. The hotel attracts both leisure and business travelers. Courtyard rooms have balconies. The property is across the street from the Mercado shopping village and its restaurants, and just up the road from Pointe Orlando and its offerings. A free expanded continental breakfast is included daily.
