During your Orlando vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Skull Kingdom
As you wander the stone halls inside the Skull Castle, you'll be taunted and terrified by a cast of ghoulish characters second in central Florida only to the crew at Universal Orlando's Halloween Horror Nights, but this show runs year-round. The night show (after 5pm) on weekends is far more intense than the day show. In any case, it's not for children under 8. Allow about 30 minutes to walk through the castle. The Chamber of Magic dinner show (all-you-can-eat pizza and drinks) can also be combined with the haunted tour.
Water Mania
You'll find a variety of aquatic attractions in this 36-acre water park. You can boogie board or body surf in the wave pools, float lazily along an 850-foot river, enjoy a white-water tube run on Riptide, and spiral down the Twin Tornadoes water slide. If you dare, ride The Screamer, a 72-foot freefall speed slide, or the Abyss, an enclosed tube slide that corkscrews through 380 feet of darkness, exiting into a splash pool. You can climb the all new Rainrock Mountain (at an extra charge). There's a rainforest-themed water playground for kids; a miniature golf course; and a picnic area with arcade games, volleyball, and a beach. Note: This park has fewer thrill rides than Disney's Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach or Wet 'n Wild (listed a bit later), so it has fewer teens and young adults, making it more attractive to older adults or families with younger kids. Allow 4 to 5 hours. Tubes, towels, and lockers are all available for rent for a small fee and a deposit ($2 for a towel; $5-$6.50 plus $1 deposit for a tube; $4.25-$6.50 plus $5 deposit for a locker). A child-size life vest can be rented at no charge. A cabana with 4 towels, 2 chairs, 2 lounges, 2 tubes, a table, and 1 locker can be rented for $55 with a $10 deposit.
Titanic--Ship of Dreams
If you didn't get enough of the movie, news clips, and expedition, you will get that no-more feeling in this 25,000-square-foot attraction. It has some 200 artifacts (a deck chair, life jacket, stationery, and so on), movie memorabilia, actors, and even a replica of the great ship's grand staircase and re-created rooms. This one is strictly for ardent fans. Allow 1 to 2 hours.
Embassy Suites Lake Buena Vista
Set near the end of Palm Parkway, just off Apopka-Vineland, this fun and welcoming all-suite resort is close to all the action of Downtown Disney and the surrounding area, yet still remains a quiet retreat. Each suite sleeps five and includes separate living area (with a pullout sofa) and sleeping quarters. The roomy accommodations make it a great choice for families. Some of the other perks here include a complimentary cooked-to-order breakfast and a daily manager's reception.Facilities: Restaurant; cafe; lounge; indoor and outdoor heated pools; kids pool and play area; whirlpool and sauna; fitness center; tennis court; basketball court; business center; high-speed Internet access, laundry service; room service; free shuttle to Disney parks.
Villas of Grand Cypress
This is an exceptional place to retreat to at the end of the day, though it's definitely a splurge in the budget department. At its "modest" end, this Mediterranean-inspired resort starts with standard-size rooms with Roman tubs and patios, many of them backing up to ponds whose inhabitants include mallards, soft-shelled turtles, and largemouth bass eager for bread crusts or whatever else you can spare. Floor plans progress to elegant one- to four-bedroom villas that reach about 1,100 square feet on the top end. Some include kitchens, dining rooms, and patios. The resort shares a golf club and academy, racquet club, and equestrian center with the Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress Resort . Inside the resort, you're almost completely sheltered from Disney, which is situated only a few hundred yards away. Take some time to wander the lush grounds, which are dotted with lakes, bougainvillea, and hibiscus. There are also walking and jogging trails. Shuttle buses allow you to park your car and get around the resort and to the nearby theme parks without driving. Unlike its sister Hyatt property, this resort caters primarily to adults, but Villa guests with kids can use the Hyatt's childcare and other facilities -- even the pool.Facilities: 2 restaurants; 2 lounges; outdoor heated pool; 45 holes of golf; 12 tennis courts (5 lighted); health club; 2 racquetball courts; spa; watersports equipment; children's center(at the Hyatt); car-rental desk (Hyatt); arcade; concierge; free Disney shuttle, transportation to non-Disney parks for a fee; salon (Hyatt); 24-hr. room service; massage (in-room); babysitting; laundry service; valet; concierge-level rooms.
Hampton Inn Maingate West
Just 1 1/2 miles west of WDW, this welcoming motel is a good choice for the budget-conscious vacationer. The rooms are nicely decorated, but are a bit on the small side, making them a snug fit for four. While there are not a lot of frills, the property is well maintained and provides the basics with good taste. There's no restaurant, but a free breakfast is served in the lobby, and there are more than enough dining choices just a minute or two away to keep you from going hungry.
