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.
A World of Orchids
Lovers of horticulture will enjoy touring this conservatory and showroom filled with thousands of orchids -- many of them rare -- that are magnificently abloom at all times and on display as well as for sale (shipping is available). Streams, waterfalls, koi ponds, and birds enhance the grounds. Also on the premises: a nature walk through a wooded area, aquariums of exotic fish, and a small aviary. Allow 1 hour, more if you're gaga over orchids.
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.
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.
Hampton Inn Lake Buena Vista
Location rules at this modern property, which is only 1 mile from the entrance to Hotel Plaza Boulevard on the northeast corner of Disney. It's not fancy, but the price is right and there are lots of nearby places to eat, shop, and party. Rooms on the fourth or fifth floors have microwaves and mini-fridges; request one and ask if the rate is higher than for a room on a lower floor.
Renaissance Orlando Resort at SeaWorld
This resort just goes to show that you should never judge a book by its cover. What appears to be a rather blah looking hotel from the exterior, is absolutely beautiful and inviting on the interior, with luxurious touches throughout. A glass-covered atrium can be seen high above the stunning indoor courtyard area filled with lush gardens, cascading waterfalls, and an elegant free-flight aviary. The tastefully decorated rooms are oversized, providing plenty of space to spread out and relax. You can't beat the location if you are a fan of SeaWorld -- the park is just across from the hotel. The entire pool area was recently renovated, making it even more inviting.Facilities: 3 restaurants; grill; 3 lounges; outdoor heated pool; kids' pool; golf privileges (fee); 4 lighted tennis courts, available instruction (fee); health club; basketball; volleyball; spa; 2 Jacuzzis; sauna; playground; arcade; concierge; tour desk; car-rental desk; transportation to all the parks for a fee; business center; shopping arcade; salon; 24-hr. room service; massage; babysitting; laundry service; valet.
