Firkin and Kegler

The Firkin and Kegler Family Entertainment Center is tucked away behind the Waterford Lakes shopping, dining and entertainment center on the east side of Orlando, just a few miles south of the University of Central Florida campus. Although Firkin and Kegler does have its own restaurant and pub, the real attraction here is the electronic bowling alley, arcade, and golf simulations.

The bowling alleys are state of the art, plenty of HD flat screens around to show the latest sports games. In keeping with the British pub atmosphere, there is a wide selection of domestic and imported bottles and draft beer, as well as wine and cocktails. The arcade uses plastic cards that can have a certain dollar amount programmed onto them and are swiped through a special electronic reading device before the beginning of each game. Any points (which can be redeemed for prizes) are also tabulated on the card, so there are no coins, tokens, or tickets required at Firkin and Kegler.

For the adult crowd, Firkin and Kegler has an upstairs dance floor, and there are private party rooms to accommodate birthdays, corporate events and other special occasions. Best of all, Firkin and Kegler’s location in Waterford Lakes ensures that guests can go shopping or even catch a movie as they round out a full day of entertainment for their family.

Orlando’s very own Darden Restaurants

While casual dining establishments like Olive Garden and Red Lobster are familiar sights in other parts of the country, they are particularly abundant in Orlando, where the corporate headquarters of Darden Restaurants is located. Through subsidiaries, the Company owns and operates more than 1,700 restaurants including Red Lobster, Olive Garden, LongHorn Steakhouse, The Capital Grille, Bahama Breeze and Seasons 52. Another Darden restaurant chain, Smokey Bones, was sold off in 2008. The restaurants are still in the Orlando area under different ownership.

In and around Orlando, especially in the tourist areas and the Florida Mall, Olive Garden and Red Lobster restaurants can frequently be seen located in close proximity to each other. Olive Garden specializes in Italian fare (especially the lunchtime soup, salad and breadsticks) while Red Lobster is the world's leading seafood restaurant company. The newly acquired Capital Grille is located at the Pointe Orlando shopping, dining and entertainment center on International Drive.

While Red Lobster, Olive Garden, the western-themed LongHorn Steakhouse and the Caribbean-inspired Bahama Breeze cater to a family-friendly all-ages crowd, The Capital Grille and Seasons 52 are decidedly more upscale and best suited for adults. Seasons 52 has locations in Altamonte Springs and the Dr. Phillips neighborhood of Orlando, and both restaurants need reservations well in advance. Seasons 52 is beast known for serving up seasonal dishes paired with an extensive wine list, featuring a new menu every week.

ICE! at Gaylord Palms

Now through January 3, enjoy the coolest exhibit in the Orlando area as ICE! returns to the Gaylord Palms and Convention Center in Kissimmee, FL. This holiday attraction is carved from nearly 2 million pounds of ice. The colorful and crystalline sculptures of ICE! are carved by a team of 40 artisans from Harbin, China, who spend more than a month in Kissimmee creating this one-of-a-kind attraction.

To save time and money, tickets can be purchased in advance online. Dress warmly as well—bring hats, gloves and closed toe shoes because the exhibit is kept at a frigid 9 degrees Fahrenheit. Long blue parkas will be provided, especially for anyone who wants to slide down the ice slides. Other highlights include a frozen carousel, colorful ornaments and other characters, Santa Claus, and a beautiful nativity scene. At the end of your journey through a Winter Wonderland, kids can have their photos taken with Santa and enjoy a cup of hot cocoa at the Gaylord Palms atrium lounge.

For more information, visit the Gaylord Palms Web site.

New Year’s Eve at Walt Disney World

If you venture out to Walt Disney World on New Year's Eve, be prepared for larger than usual crowds. Any of the Disney restaurants requiring reservations will be booked well in advance, and getting a Fast Pass for your favorite ride as soon as you get past the ticket gate should be a top priority if you don't want to spend more than an hour in the standby line.

Another thing to keep in mind is that the parks—especially Magic Kingdom—sometimes close down for additional guests if the park reaches maximum capacity--so come early. Reservations at one of the restaurants does not guarantee admittance if the park reaches capacity before you get there. Park hopping is not recommended on New Year's Eve.

Magic Kingdom (which is open until 2:00 a.m.) and Epcot (open until midnight) will have special fireworks displays on New Year's Eve, and Disney's Hollywood Studios (also open until midnight) will have evening performances of their famed Fantasmic light and sound show, which is full of Disney's most beloved heroes and heroines as well as their most memorable villains. Animal Kingdom will close at 8:00 p.m. and does not have any fireworks displays (because, quite frankly, the resident animals would not like it).

Other popular places to spend New Year's Eve at Walt Disney World include Downtown Disney and Disney's Boardwalk. No matter where you ring in the New Year, you'll always be at the center of the action if you spend it at Walt Disney World.

Walt Disney World during the holidays

The best part about visiting Walt Disney World during the holidays is enjoying the warm temperatures in Central Florida. The average high in Orlando during the month of December is 73 degrees Fahrenheit and the low is 51 degrees—not bad when you consider that there are other parts of the country that are buried under a blanket of snow with sub zero wind chill factors during this time of year. Even the Blizzard Beach water park is open from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. throughout the month of December, although Typhoon Lagoon is close for its annual refurbishment (only one Disney water park is open during the winter months).

The only downside to “doing Disney” during the holidays would be the crowds. With schools out all over the country during the last two weeks of December, Walt Disney World is in the middle of one of its peak tourist seasons (spring break and summer break are also peak periods). Florida resident season passes usually have a blackout period during the week between Christmas and New Year’s Day. Being out of school isn’t the only reason why people are attracted to Disney during the holidays, however, events like Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party at Magic Kingdom, Candlelight Processional at Epcot and the Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights at Disney’s Hollywood Studios (pictured) are annual Disney World traditions that draw residents and visitors to the parks every year.

All Walt Disney Characters

All Walt Disney characters have a place at Walt Disney World, although the characters you may find depend on the overall theme of the park. All Walt Disney Characters are well-represented in Walt Disney World gift shops, especially at places like The Emporium at Magic Kingdom or the 12-room World of Disney store in Downtown Disney’s Marketplace, which is the largest Disney character store in the Walt Disney World Resort—and on Earth. World of Disney is the best spot to find all Walt Disney characters in various forms of Men's, women's and kids' apparel, Disney character merchandise, collectibles, arts and crafts, plush toys, trading pins, watches, and much more.

For character greetings, the best place to find them is at Magic Kingdom. This is where you will find the most Disney Princesses—plus the Disney Fairies, Mickey & Minnie, Toy Story’s Woody & Buzz, and many more Walt Disney characters. Princess Tiana from The Princess and the Frog, the newest Disney Princess, is currently in a parade at Liberty Square with a meet and greet behind the Liberty Tree Tavern. And of course, there is always the Cinderella Castle for character dining. Disney character dining with the Winnie the Pooh characters can be found at the Crystal Palace.

Dining with the Disney Princesses is also available at the Akershus Royal Banquet Hall in Epcot at the Norway pavilion of the World Showcase. In the Future World area of Epcot, visitors can explore The Seas with Nemo and Friends. Other than those attractions, there are not as many Disney characters at Epcot (unless you count Figment, who does have his own character meet and greet).

At Animal Kingdom, the Tusker House offers Donald’s Safari Breakfast and all of the characters from The Lion King are well represented in The Festival of the Lion King live performances. The Camp Minnie-Mickey greeting trails include Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, and other Walt Disney characters. Lesser known characters like Jiminy Cricket and Pocahontas can also be spotted for character meet and greets at Rafiki’s Planet Watch.

Disney’s Hollywood Studios is the go-to place for Pixar characters at the Block Party Parade, the Little Einstein characters from Playhouse Disney Live, plus live performances based on The Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast. This is also the hot spot for non-animated Disney characters like the cast of High School Musical.

At Walt Disney World, it’s all about the characters, and no matter where you go, you are sure to find them, whether it is at a character meet and greet, dining experience, or purchasing a souvenir at one of the many gift shops. Make your Walt Disney World vacation more fun, check out what is happening at the Walt Disney World Resorts .

Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights

Now through January 4, the Streets of America at Walt Disney World’s Hollywood Studios comes to life with music and lights as part of the Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights. The festivities begin after the sun goes down around 6:00 p.m., as crowds gather to wonder in amazement at the millions of twinkling Christmas lights that have been a tradition since 1995.

The Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights started modestly in Arkansas as a single home's annual Christmas display. Every year, Jennings Osborne and his family set up an elaborate collection of holiday lights until the assortment became large enough that Walt Disney World Resort offered to become the new permanent home for their holiday display. Now sponsored by Sylvania, the Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights also includes flurries of snow (on the warm Florida breeze) plus plenty of excitement as Disney visitors enjoy the multicolored lights synchronized to the tune of their favorite Christmas carols.

Christmas shopping in Orlando

If you've scheduled an Orlando vacation during the holidays, save your Christmas shopping for the outlet stores and shopping malls that Orlando has to offer.

Orlando has some of the best outlet shopping in the state of Florida. Prime Outlets is the largest outlet mall in the southeast, with 175 shops, and is located on the north end of International Drive. Prime Outlets features brand names like Saks Fifth Avenue OFF 5TH, Neiman Marcus Last Call, Gap, The North Face, Columbia, Bass Shoes, Gymboree, Juicy Couture and many more. Prime Outlets is located just north of Festival Bay Mall, home of Orlando’s only Bass Pro Shop location.

On the south end of International Drive (8200 Vineland Avenue, Orlando) Premium Outlets offer some of the same stores as Prime Outlets, with even more parking. There are 150 shops at Premium Outlets, with brand names that include Anne Klein, Banana Republic, Calvin Klein, Burberry, Giorgio Armani, Kenneth Cole, Lacoste, Nike, Polo Ralph Lauren, Salvatore Ferragamo, and Tommy Hilfiger.

If retail indoor mall shopping is more to your liking, the two malls in town that cater mostly to tourists are the elongated Florida Mall near the Orlando International Airport—anchored by Dillard’s, Sears, JCPenney, Macy’s, Nordstrom and Saks Fifth Avenue—and the decidedly upscale Mall at Millennia, with Bloomingdale’s, Macy’s and Neiman Marcus as the anchor department stores. Mall at Millennia is located next to Orlando’s only IKEA store, a Swedish-based home furnishing retailer.

Of course, there are plenty of theme park souvenirs to be had at Downtown Disney or Universal CityWalk—or even Orlando International Airport for a last minute before you catch your flight out of town. Either way, there will be plenty of choices and some surprisingly good prices for anyone who does their Christmas shopping in Orlando.

Space Mountain reopens at Magic Kingdom

After seven months of refurbishment, the long wait is over for fans of Space Mountain at Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom. Space Mountain officially reopened right before the Thanksgiving Day holiday after its first major renovation since the ride was launched in 1975.

The new Space Mountain has a recalibrated track, it is darker inside the mountain and Disney Imagineers also installed video games for guests to play while waiting in line. Space Mountain at Magic Kingdom theme park features 2 rocket-shaped vehicles consisting of 3 seats per vehicle that blast off from 2 separate tracks. It is the only version of the attraction that contains 2 separate tracks (Space Mountain has a counterpart in Disneyland that underwent even more extensive renovations).

Space Mountain is located in the Tomorrowland area of Magic Kingdom, and riders must be at least 44 inches or taller to board this ride, a Disney Fast Pass is highly recommended, especially now that visitors will want to see what’s new and different about the classic Space Mountain indoor roller coaster
