During your Orlando vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Flying Tigers Warbird Restoration Museum
If you're a fan of vintage flying machines and their restoration, this working museum displays and restores aircraft from the World War II through Vietnam eras. Owner Tom Reilly offers guided tours through a museum full of hands-on exhibits. The outdoor showroom includes changing exhibits of birds that have been or are being restored, such as a 1909 Martin M-1, a 1944 B-17 Flying Fortress, a 1944 P-38 Lightning, and a 1965 MIG 21. Plan on spending 2 hours. It's interesting and a must for aviation buffs, but the show here is almost entirely visual. Note: The museum sustained hurricane damage in the summer of 2004 and is currently in the midst of rebuilding. At press time, they weren't running actual tours yet, but the museum is open and is currently accepting donations in lieu of an admission fee for those who would like to take a look around.
Wet 'n Wild
Who knew people came in so many shapes and sizes? Stacked or stubby, terribly tan or not, all kinds come here, so there's no reason to be bashful about squeezing into a bathing suit and going out in public. The 25-acre Wet 'n Wild is America's third most popular water park (behind Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon, respectively). Disco H2O, the park's newest addition, debuted in 2005; it's an enclosed flume ride where a four-passenger raft sends you flying through the sights and sounds of the '70s, complete with mirrored lights and disco tunes blasting in the background. Other options include The Flyer, a six-story four-passenger toboggan run through 450 feet of banked curves; the Surge, which is one of the longest (580 ft. of curves) and fastest multipassenger tube rides in the Southeast; and Black Hole, a two-person spaceship-style raft that makes a 500-foot twisting, turning voyage through darkness (all three rides require that children 36-48 in. be accompanied by an adult). You can also ride Raging Rapids, a simulated white-water run with a waterfall plunge; Blue Niagara, a 300-foot six-story loop-and-dipster that also has a plunge (48-in. height minimum); Knee Ski, a cable-operated half-mile knee-boarding course that's open in warm-weather months only (56-in. height minimum); Der Stuka, a six-story, free-fall speed slide; and Mach 5, which has a trio of twisting, turning flumes. The park also has a large kids' area with mini-versions of the big rides. If you enjoy the water, plan on spending a full day here.Note: In addition to the admission prices below, Wet 'n Wild is part of the multiday FlexTicket package that includes admission to Universal Orlando (which owns this attraction), SeaWorld, and Busch Gardens in Tampa.
Gatorland
Founded in 1949 with only a handful of alligators living in huts and pens, Gatorland now houses thousands of alligators (including a rare blue one) and crocodiles on its 70-acre spread. Breeding pens, nurseries, and rearing ponds are situated throughout the park, which also displays snakes, toads, insects, turtles, and a Galápagos tortoise. Its 2,000-foot boardwalk winds through a cypress swamp and breeding marsh. There are four shows. Gator Wrestlin' uses the old "put-them-to-sleep" trick, but it's more of an environmental awareness program. The Gator Jumparoo is a crowd-pleaser in which the big reptiles lunge 4 or 5 feet out of the water to snatch a hunk of meat from a trainer's hand. Up Close Encounters is a new show that features a variety of wildlife, including some venomous snakes. And Jungle Crocs of the World showcases some of the world's toothiest carnivores. Younger kids will enjoy the new train ride through the park; Lilly's Pad, a wet and dry play area; and Allie's Barnyard, a small petting zoo. While you're here, try the smoked gator ribs or nuggets in the open-air restaurant, or grab a gator-skin souvenir in the gift shop. Allow 4 to 5 hours. Tip: Look for additional parking, a whole new facade, and additional landscaping to be added as the park undergoes an extensive million-dollar renovation in 2005 -- its largest in over 10 years.Note: Gatorland's new Trainer for a Day program lets up to five guests get up close and personal with the gators for a day (or two hours in this case). The $100, 2-hour experience puts you side by side with trainers and includes a chance to wrangle some alligators (minimum age 12). Advance reservations are required, and admission to the park is included.Tip: Printable discount coupons and special Internet ticket prices are available at the park's website. Be sure to check it out before you leave home.
Comfort Suites Maingate East
Set back from the main drag, this fairly new and welcoming hotel is one of the nicest in the area. The lobby and accommodations -- consisting of studio and one-bedroom suites -- are bright and inviting. The main pool and the children's pool, with an umbrella fountain to keep everyone cool, are open around the clock. For entertainment, Old Town (a small-scale shopping, dining, and entertainment complex) is next door, and a great miniature golf course is located just in front of the property.
Portofino Bay Hotel
Universal's first hotel is as grand as Disney's Grand Floridian and is a perfect getaway for couples and adults seeking a romantic, upscale atmosphere. This 5-year-old resort is a replica of the village of Portofino, Italy, complete with a harbor and canals on which boats travel to the theme parks. Old World ambience is carried throughout the public areas, restaurants, and rooms. The luxurious rooms are large (with sleep space for five). The beds have Egyptian-woven sheets, and the pillows are so soft you'll want to take them home. Ask for a view overlooking the piazza and "bay" area. Hypoallergenic rooms are available. The Portofino doesn't just have swimming pools; its beach pool has a fort with a water slide, and the villa pool rents several private cabanas. The resort's privately run Mandara Spa (www.mandaraspa.com) features a state-of-the-art fitness center and full-service spa. The drawbacks: There are stairs everywhere you turn (be prepared for some exercise), and the sheer size of the resort can make it difficult to find your way around.Note: Guests enjoy special privileges at the Universal Orlando theme parks, including front-of-the-line access to rides and preferred seating at shows and restaurants.Facilities: 4 restaurants; deli; 3 lounges; 2 outdoor heated pools (1 for concierge and suite guests only); kids' pool; bocce courts (concierge and suite guests only); fitness center; spa; watercraft rentals; playground; supervised children's center; activities; arcade; concierge; tour desk; free water-taxi transportation to Universal Orlando parks; free shuttle to SeaWorld; transportation to WDW parks for a fee; business center; shopping arcade; 24-hr. room service; babysitting; laundry service; valet; concierge-level rooms.
SpringHill Suites Orlando Convention Center
Like the Sierra Suites, this property offers another chance to stay near but not in the middle of the I-Drive crowds and traffic. Clean, very spacious suites (about 700 sq. ft., with beds for five and a separate living area) and reasonable rates make this all-suite property worth considering, though you'll have to pay to get to all of the theme parks.
