During your Orlando vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Forever Florida
The 4,700-acre Crescent J Ranch is a nature preserve that offers a chance to see native wildlife, Florida flora, and a working cattle ranch by guided tour. Options include touring by horseback (must reserve at least 24 hours in advance) or by Safari coach, a funky buggy that puts riders on a perch 10 feet above sea level. Allow a half-day or longer to get here, take the tour, and see the grounds, which also include a pony riding ring, hiking trails, and a petting zoo.
Holy Land Experience
Battles to get tax-exempt church status and smaller-than-expected attendance caused this tourist attraction to add a parking fee and boost rates by $13 in its first 2 years. But backers still believe Jesus Christ and John the Baptist can go head to head with (or at least play second harp to) Mickey Mouse and Woody Woodpecker. This $20 million, 15-acre attraction near Universal Orlando is trying to court more believers by offering exhibits focusing on Jerusalem between the years 1450 B.C. and A.D. 66. Instead of thrill rides, visitors get lessons about Noah's Ark, the limestone caves where the Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered, 1st-century Jerusalem, and Jesus' tomb. The trimmings include a display of old Bibles and manuscripts, a Bedouin tent where biblical personalities tell Old and New Testament stories, and a cafe serving Middle Eastern food. New additions include a multimedia production of music and art giving an overview of worship through the ages; a small play area for kids; and the Oasis Outpost, which features a rock wall and archaeological dig, misting station, and a small refreshment spot. The attraction has caused some controversy: Orlando-area rabbis, among others, say they believe it's a ploy to convert Jews to Christianity. Allow 3 to 4 hours.
Ripley's Believe It or Not! Odditorium
Do you crave weird science? If you're a fan of the bizarre, here's where you'll find lots of oddities. Among the hundreds of exhibits: a two-headed kitten, a five-legged cow, a three-quarter-scale model of a 1907 Rolls-Royce made of 1 million matchsticks, a mosaic of the Mona Lisa created from toast, torture devices from the Spanish Inquisition, a Tibetan flute made of human bones, and Ubangi women with wooden plates in their lips. There are exhibits on Houdini and films of people swallowing coat hangers. Visitors are greeted by a hologram of Robert Ripley. Allow 2 hours.
Hard Rock Hotel
You can't get any closer than this to Universal Studios Florida. Opened in 2001, this California mission-style resort sports a rock-and-roll theme with rates a shade less expensive than the Portofino . The atmosphere here is also more casual (though with an air of sophistication) than that of its Universal Orlando sisters, and it's the most kid-friendly resort, too. The collection of rock memorabilia found scattered throughout the public areas of the hotel is impressive. The pool area, however, takes center stage here: A tremendous oasis of palm trees and rocky landscaping surround a large freeform pool whose most unique feature is a first-rate underwater sound system that makes sure you don't miss a beat. The rooms and amenities at the Hard Rock are a cut above. The rooms are very comfortable, with a sophisticated modern decor. Unfortunately, though the rooms are fairly soundproof, a few notes seep through the walls, so you may want to ask for one that's away from the lobby area. Tip: One of the biggest perks of staying on Universal property is that guests get no-line access to almost every ride at Universal's theme parks, and seating privileges for shows and restaurants.Facilities: 3 restaurants; grill; 2 lounges; outdoor heated pool; kids' pool; fitness center; playground; kids' club; arcade; concierge; free water-taxi transportation to Universal Studios, Islands of Adventure, and CityWalk; free shuttle to SeaWorld; transportation to WDW parks for a fee; shopping arcade; 24-hr. room service; babysitting; laundry service; valet.
Hawthorn Suites Lake Buena Vista
One of the features that is most appealing about this 5-year-old property is its floor plan. Its 500-square-foot standard rooms have four areas: a living room with a pullout sofa, chair, and TV; a full kitchen with a dining room table for four; a bathroom with vanity; and a bedroom with a recliner and TV. Two-bedroom units are also available. The extras here are a big plus, too. The Hawthorn offers a free hot American breakfast buffet daily, a social hour (hors d'oeuvres, beer, and wine) Monday through Thursday, and a complimentary light meal on Wednesday evenings. The atmosphere is friendly, the service is good, and it's just 3 minutes from Hotel Plaza Boulevard.
The Reunion Resort & Club of Orlando
This luxury resort community not just a resort, is still in its early phases (with a completion date set for some 10 years into the future). Currently, only the villas and some vacation homes (both available for rent to visitors) are open. The spectacular villas feature a rather unique layout. Bedrooms are located on the ground level, with the main living area and additional bedrooms on the second level (making it less likely you'll have to drag your luggage up a flight of stairs). Some of the villas have private patios or balconies; some of the vacation homes have their own private pools. Scheduled to open just as this book hits the shelves is an extensive on-site water park (in addition to other resort pools located throughout the property). Two championship golf courses are already operational. A kids program offering a variety of supervised activities is set to begin in 2006 as well. On the downside: The property charges an exorbitantly high "gratuity" fee.
