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.
Water Mania
You'll find a variety of aquatic attractions in this 36-acre water park. You can boogie board or body surf in the wave pools, float lazily along an 850-foot river, enjoy a white-water tube run on Riptide, and spiral down the Twin Tornadoes water slide. If you dare, ride The Screamer, a 72-foot freefall speed slide, or the Abyss, an enclosed tube slide that corkscrews through 380 feet of darkness, exiting into a splash pool. You can climb the all new Rainrock Mountain (at an extra charge). There's a rainforest-themed water playground for kids; a miniature golf course; and a picnic area with arcade games, volleyball, and a beach. Note: This park has fewer thrill rides than Disney's Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach or Wet 'n Wild (listed a bit later), so it has fewer teens and young adults, making it more attractive to older adults or families with younger kids. Allow 4 to 5 hours. Tubes, towels, and lockers are all available for rent for a small fee and a deposit ($2 for a towel; $5-$6.50 plus $1 deposit for a tube; $4.25-$6.50 plus $5 deposit for a locker). A child-size life vest can be rented at no charge. A cabana with 4 towels, 2 chairs, 2 lounges, 2 tubes, a table, and 1 locker can be rented for $55 with a $10 deposit.
Harry P. Leu Gardens
This 50-acre botanical garden on the shores of Lake Rowena offers a serene respite from the theme-park razzle-dazzle. Paths lead through giant camphors, moss-draped oaks, palms, cicadas, and camellias -- the latter represented by one of the world's largest collections: 50 species and some 2,000 plants that bloom from October through March. There are 75 varieties of roses in the site's formal gardens, as well as orchids, azaleas, desert plants, and colorful annuals and perennials. The attraction also has palm, bamboo, and butterfly gardens. Businessman Harry P. Leu, who donated his 49-acre estate to the city in the 1960s, created the gardens. There are $7 guided tours of his house, built in 1888, on the hour and half-hour (advance reservations suggested). The interior has Victorian, Chippendale, and Empire furnishings and pieces of art. Admission is free Mondays from 9am to noon. It takes about 2 hours to see the house and gardens.
Homewood Suites Orlando
These moderately priced family suites are less than 2 miles from Disney, located near Downtown Disney. This hotel is a good choice if you want a little home-style comfort and the chance to perform do-it-yourself stuff in the fully equipped kitchen. The hotel is only 7 years old, so everything is still in good shape. The two-bedroom suites sleep up to six offering a decent amount of room. A social hour (hors d'oeuvres, beer, and wine) is held Monday through Thursday.Facilities: Mini-grocery; outdoor heated pool; exercise room; Jacuzzi; game room; concierge; car-rental desk; free shuttle to Disney parks, transportation to non-Disney parks for a fee; business center; babysitting; laundry service; valet; safe deposit boxes; pizza delivery.
Holiday Inn Nikki Bird

And it's only a mile from the WDW entrance to boot. Thanks to the great landscaping, you'll never know its located along one of the busiest stretches of highway around (the location's a big plus, as the dining and entertainment choices in this area are practically countless). Kid Suite rooms offer a separate children's sleeping area, video games, and an additional TV.

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.
