During your Orlando vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
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.
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.
Crowne Plaza Orlando-Universal
This sleek 15-story high-rise is conveniently located a block east of I-Drive and caters primarily to business travelers. Although it's closer to Universal Orlando and SeaWorld (about midway between them), getting to Disney is no problem because the hotel offers free shuttles to the major parks. It's also close to the I-Ride Trolley, which saves shoe leather for those interested in exploring International Drive. The subdued rooms (most inside the Crowne Wing, along with the hotel's meeting space) are well appointed and offer floor-to-ceiling windows. Some of the pricier rooms (with Jacuzzi tubs) are in the circular Atrium Tower, where you can climb to the top in high-speed glass elevators. Facilities include a state-of-the-art fitness center.Facilities: Restaurant; cafe; lounge; heated pool; fitness center; game room; concierge; tour desk; free transportation to Disney, Universal, and SeaWorld; business center; limited room service; babysitting; laundry service, valet.
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.
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.
