During your Orlando vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
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.
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.
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.
Celebration Hotel
This hotel is as picture perfect as the town that surrounds it. Its three-story, wood-frame design is straight out of 1920s Florida, as is its interior. A beautiful dark wooded bar is set just off to the right as you enter, and the lobby is filled with antiques and artwork, creating a warm inviting atmosphere. The beautifully decorated rooms have incredibly comfortable beds; to enjoy a soothing view, ask for a lakefront room. The upscale ambience caters to adults, especially those seeking a romantic getaway. The only drawback: you'll have to deal with the traffic on U.S. 192 to get anywhere.
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.
La Quinta Inn Lakeside
The hand-painted exteriors, lobby, and common areas of this hotel give it a unique charm not found in its hotel brethren. Just up the road from the Disney entrance, this 24-acre resort looks deceptively small when you first pull up (most of the accommodations are hidden behind the lobby area), but amenities include numerous recreational options (pools, playgrounds, and so on), a food court, good-sized convenience store, and bountiful free breakfast. Rooms are standard in size and offerings, but are nicely decorated and will comfortably sleep four. Other pluses include a childcare facility and free transport to all the major theme parks.Facilities: 2 restaurants; food court; 3 outdoor heated pools; 2 kids' pool; small mini-golf; 2 tennis courts; exercise room; Jacuzzi; playgrounds; kids activities; Guest Services desk; free bus to Disney, Universal and SeaWorld parks; laundry service; valet.
