Open Wide! Proud Parents Feed Their Chick at SeaWorld Orlando

A tawny frogmouth chick, hatched April 11, gets fed by its mother, while the father looks on. In less than a year, six chicks have been hatched at SeaWorld and all are now thriving.

Until recently, the population of tawny frogmouths in North American zoos was facing extinction -- and breeding programs were largely unsuccessful. SeaWorld worked with the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) to develop a program to sustain the species' growth.

SeaWorld aviculturists have bred an unprecedented 24 chicks over the past 10 years. Typically as a part of this program, chicks are hand-reared by aviculturists to ensure they receive the best care during their first few fragile weeks. Through years of research, SeaWorld has made it possible for this chick to be raised by its parents.

Tawny frogmouths are native to the forested savannas and open woodlands of Australia. When fully grown, the insect-eating birds will be between 9 and 21 inches tall. To discover SeaWorld Vacation Packages

Brits Flock to New York, Orlando and Bangkok this Summer

With the summer shaping up, cheap flights comparison site Skyscanner looks ahead to see which are set to be the most popular destinations with U.K. travelers. Spanish hotspots Alicante, Malaga and Palma hold on to the top three places; Portugal's Faro and Dalaman in Turkey both remained solid at 4th and 5th; whilst Tenerife (6th) and Ibiza (7th) both moved up a place.

Perhaps marking the move out of recession, all three new entries to the top ten are long-haul destinations. New York entered at 8th while Orlando, home to Universal's highly anticipated Harry Potter World, took the 9th spot. Despite political unrest in Thailand, flights to Bangkok are still very popular with British tourists, with the city entering in 10th place, the only Asian destination in the top ten.

Barry Smith, Skyscanner Co-founder commented: "Last summer there were no long haul destinations in the top ten, and Spain took seven of the top ten places. This summer, it looks like budgets are a little bigger with more people taking flights to New York, Orlando and Bangkok. So far the ash doesn't seem to be putting people off from traveling further afield."

Disney's Star Tours closing for renovations

Disney World is planning another "reimagining" of a popular attraction, this time Disney is closing down the Star Tours simulator ride at Disney's Hollywood Studios by the end of the summer--it is tentatively scheduled to close on September 8--with plans to reopen the ride with new special effects sometime in 2011.

Star Tours opened in 1989 at Disney's Hollywood Studios (at the time the park was known as Disney-MGM Studios). George Lucas, director of the Star Wars films, actually assisted in the development of the ride, which simulates a flight to the planet of Endor. Star Tours can also be found at Disneyland in California and the international Disney parks, and will also be closing down for renovations.

The updated ride system will consist of a High Definition, Disney Real-D 3D screen, an improved motion simulator as well as several other special effects. Star Wars fans will more than likely see more similarities to the newer Star Wars films (episodes 1 - 3) as well.

SeaWorld cares for 303rd turtle this year

Caring for SeaWorld’s 303rd endangered turtle patient this year is no small task for park aquarists. The recently rescued reptile is a three-foot, 270-pound loggerhead, found in the waters of San Carlos Bay near Ft. Meyers, Fla. on May 6.

The large male was seen floating to one side for several days. Emaciated and covered in barnacles, his condition was most likely caused by ingesting a foreign object.

Immediately upon his arrival at SeaWorld’s Animal Rehabilitation Center, aquarists began removing the barnacles and treating him with antibiotics. Veterinarians performed x-rays in search of internal injuries. The animal has begun to eat on his own as the Animal Rescue Team hopes to eventually return him back to San Carlos Bay.

SeaWorld is a global leader in the rescue and rehabilitation of endangered se turtles. This year the park has rescued 304 turtles and released 245. Now through August is loggerhead sea turtle nesting period, a critical time period for the preservation of this species. Discover SeaWorld Vacations

Captain EO returns to Epcot this summer

The King of Pop might be gone but he is not forgotten, the Michael Jackson 4D experience Captain EO is returning to Epcot on July 2 for a limited engagement. Captain EO is replacing—for the time being at least—the Honey I Shrunk the Audience attraction, which has already been shut down for renovations.

The original Captain EO show was at Epcot from 1986-1994, when Michael Jackson was at the peak of his popularity. The 17-minute sci-fi adventure film followed Captain EO’s journey to turn a colorless planet into a world of happiness with the power of music (not to mention, expertly choreographed dancing).

Captain EO is also returning to other Disney parks around the world this year. It has already reopened at Disneyland in California (there is even a Caption Eo @ Disneyland Facebook page for diehard fans) and is scheduled to open at Tokyo Disneyland and Disneyland Paris this summer.

Gas Prices Expected to Drop

With the price of crude oil dropping for the second time this month, expect retail gasoline prices to be lower this week, AAA said, adding that the downward trend should continue with the possibility of lower prices by Memorial Day weekend.

Crude oil closed Friday at $71.61 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

"Motorists may be very happy this Memorial Day weekend since retail gasoline prices will most likely be lower than expected," said Jessica Brady, manager of AAA public relations. "The economic uncertainty in Europe coupled with a strong U.S. dollar and ample supply of crude equal a formula that lowers both the price of crude oil and retail gasoline."

The national average price of unleaded regular gasoline is $2.87 per gallon. Florida's average price is $2.86 per gallon, both reflecting a four-cent decrease from last week.

In Orlando, a gallon of self-serve regular currently is $2.79, down 6 cents from a week ago.

Florida's largest independent hotel chain

Rosen Hotels & Resorts, Florida's largest independent hotel chain with seven properties totaling 6300 guest rooms and suites in Orlando, has just announced that it will rebrand three of its four leisure hotels as of Oct. 1, 2010.

The hotel group recently completed a $30 million room and property renovation on all four leisure hotels and would like to reflect this upgraded quality and increased value in its hotel brands. This fall, the Quality Inn Plaza and the Rodeway Inn International will become Rosen Inns and the Comfort Inn Lake Buena Vista will become a Clarion. Rosen Hotels & Resorts also owns three award-winning Orlando convention properties: Rosen Plaza, Rosen Centre and Rosen Shingle Creek.


"For the last 36 years, Rosen Hotels & Resorts has built a reputation for superior quality and service in the hospitality industry, so we felt it made sense to draw upon the Rosen name in marketing our leisure properties as we have successfully done in promoting our convention properties," said Harris Rosen, President and COO of Rosen Hotels & Resorts. "We feel fortunate to have the long-time support of loyal clients and industry partners, and we want our supporters to know that these name changes signify our ongoing commitment to providing exceptional service to the leisure traveler with competitive rates, but now with even more value, so that we may continue to exceed their expectations."

Quality Inn Plaza, soon to be called Rosen Inn at Pointe Orlando, recently earned the AAA Three Diamond Award, and Rosen expects that the other three leisure properties will soon earn this designation as well. The hotel, which features 1,020 guest rooms in six high-rise buildings, will enjoy a close partnership with the Pointe Orlando shopping, dining, nightlife and entertainment complex which is located just across International Drive and within a short walk of the hotel. Hotel guests will receive special offers for discounts at many of Pointe Orlando's restaurants, retail and entertainment locations.

As the Comfort Inn Lake Buena Vista takes on the name Clarion Inn Lake Buena Vista, it will remain a Choice Hotel brand, but will reflect the more upscale Clarion name and reputation. The hotel features 640 rooms in four high-rise buildings near Downtown Disney. An interactive children's splash park is set to open late this July in an annex to one of the hotel's two swimming pools. The 315-room Rodeway Inn International will soon be renamed Rosen Inn, and will be the closest Rosen Inn to Universal Orlando, better promoting its minutes-away access to the popular theme parks, Universal Studios Florida and Islands of Adventure.

There are currently no plans to rename the 728-room Quality Inn International, which was the first hotel that Harris Rosen purchased on June 24, 1974.

Extensive renovations at each of the four hotels was completed this year, with every guest room receiving all new furniture that was made in America, as well as new carpet, window treatments, upgraded art work, luxurious pillow-top mattresses and stylish, yet comfortable bedding. Private bathrooms now feature granite finish vanity and modern decorative lighting. Additional renovations were made to each hotel individually, including items such as signage, designer landscaping, repaved parking lots, new pool furniture and decks, updated elevator interiors, and environmentally friendly lighting. Refurbishments have also made the hotels more eco-friendly. These practices include, but are not limited to, water conservation measures by installing low flow plumbing fixtures and implementing a linen reuse program, and energy efficiency achieved by installing compact florescent (CFL) bulbs in all guestroom lamps and light fixtures, among other improvements.

The three International Drive properties offer guests complimentary, scheduled shuttle service to Universal Orlando®, SeaWorld Orlando®, Aquatica® and Wet 'n Wild Orlando® (reservation required). The I-Ride Trolley stops in front of each hotel, providing low-cost transportation to more than 75 stops in the International Drive attractions area. The three hotels are conveniently located off I-4, on International Drive, in the heart of the attractions area and just 12-15 minutes from Orlando International Airport.

The Comfort Inn Lake Buena Vista offers guests complimentary scheduled daily transportation to Walt Disney World Resort® theme parks, Universal Orlando, SeaWorld Orlando and Aquatica. The hotel is located just off I-4, approximately 20 minutes from Orlando International Airport.

With a vision of “evoking the tastes of the new American palate featuring fresh and innovative cuisine with Mediterranean and Asian influences,” Crave has an extensive sushi menu, Monday night burger menu, specially crafted cocktails, and elaborate desserts.

Crave uses the highest quality, freshest ingredients available. All of the meat is either 100% natural or free range raised, and all of the dressings and sauces are made from scratch on the premises. Since Crave supports locally owned, independently operated farms and businesses, the Orlando Crave menu differs from the Minnesota locations. The lunch menu includes appetizers such as Chicken Satay, Gingered Beef Egg Roll, and Citrus Ceviche. Lunchtime entrees include a selection of pastas, pizzas, flatbreads, and sandwiches, plus locally inspired entrees such as Blackened Florida Grouper, Grilled Petite Tender, and Mango & Prawns.

For dinner, the menu selection is expanded to include Grilled Rib Eye, Crab Crusted Filet Mignon, Tuscan New York Strip, and Pan Seared Sea Bass. The Sushi menu includes Crave’s twist on a few American classics, including specialty rolls with names like Caterpillar, Godzilla, and…Mexican. Most intriguing, however, is the Monday night burger menu, featuring a Truffled Mushroom Burger, Fried Egg Burger and Peanut Butter Burger (with bacon).

Whether you are planning a romantic dinner for two, a business dinner, a social celebration or a corporate gathering, Orlando’s newest restaurant is guaranteed to have something that everyone will Crave.

Magic fever strikes Orlando

Magic fever is spreading across Orlando…you can see it with the local residents wearing dark blue T-shirts at Disney World, or the banners draped across the downtown buildings bordering I-4. Orlando has never had a reputation as a big sports town, but the one professional team it does have in town—the NBA’s Orlando Magic—has done pretty well for itself during its relatively brief franchise history.

Founded in 1989, the Orlando Magic drafted Shaquille O’Neal in 1992, who led the team to two division titles and one conference title. After Shaq left Orlando for LA in 1996, the team took several seasons to regroup, but a new generation of Magic fans look up to Dwight Howard as their Superman.

Last season, the Magic went all the way to the finals before losing to the LA Lakers, and this year Orlando seems poised to take on another championship run. This fall the Amway Arena (formerly the TD Waterhouse Center) will be replaced by the brand new Amway Center as the new home for Orlando’s favorite pro team, where fans are eager to see some championship banners hanging from the rafters.

The Museum features educational kiosks, story boards, a theater, hands-on room and 250-seat lecture hall. A breed barn, contiguous to the Museum, features live horses from around the world. All combine to educate students and visitors about the social history of the horse and the importance of the carriage in developing civilizations.

Guests may tour the grounds in horse-drawn carriages or golf carts. They may picnic under ancestral oaks, or enjoy lunch in the Tea Room.

The resort is a “Bed and Barn” where guests vacation with or without horses in the temperate climate of Central Florida. It features 24 well-appointed residences and 12 barns with adjacent paddocks.

Fantasy of Flight to Give One Lucky Dad the Rare Chance to

Fantasy of Flight, home to the World's Greatest Aircraft Collection featuring rare and vintage aircraft, has set out to find the World's Greatest Dad just in time to give him the thrill of a lifetime this Father's Day weekend.

Fantasy of Flight is asking children and adults to submit an essay of 50 words or fewer describing why their dad is the "World's Greatest Dad." The winning dad will receive the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to take a 30-minute ride over Central Florida in one of only four Fieseler F1-156 Storch airplanes in the world.

Fantasy of Flight's Storch is still in top-notch flying condition and still has its original German Argus engine. The doting dad will also receive tickets for the family (up to four people) to Fantasy of Flight on Father's Day, June 20, as well as four Fantasy of Flight annual passes for the family to visit the attraction as often as they'd like for a year, a VIP Tour including behind-the-scenes accessibility of Fantasy of Flight led by Storch pilot, aviation historian and restoration specialist Ken Kellet, a special Father's Day lunch (for up to four people) at the Compass Rose Diner and a special Fantasy of Flight gift basket for Dad.

Second prize in the contest is a package for Dad and his nominating (and now "favorite") child including a pair of tickets to Fantasy of Flight for this Father's Day, two Fantasy of Flight annual passes, a special Father's Day lunch for two at the Compass Rose Diner and a special Fantasy of Flight gift basket for Dad. The third place winner receives the second prize winner's package, other than one annual pass instead of two.

Responses are due Tuesday, June 8 by 5 pm and may be submitted online at www.fantasyofflight.com under the homepage link, "World's Greatest Dad;" by mail to Fantasy of Flight, "World's Greatest Dad" 1400 Broadway Blvd. SE, Polk City, Fla. 33868; or in the attraction's lobby no later than 5 p.m. on Tuesday, June 8. Winners and winning entries will be announced and posted on the Fantasy of Flight website on Friday, June 11 at 5 p.m. Prize winners must be available to visit Fantasy of Flight on Father's Day, June 20, 2010 in order to claim all prizes. No substitutions or exchanges.

And, Fantasy of Flight is offering free general admission to all fathers when accompanied by a paying guest from Thursday, June 17 to Sunday, June 20, 2010. Any paid youth, senior or adult admission ticket qualifies as the accompanying paid admission. Offer valid Thursday, June 17 - Sunday, June 20, 2010. Not valid with any other offers or discounts.

This marks the first time that Fantasy of Flight has held a contest where the winner was awarded a ride in the extremely rare Storch, designed by Fieseler in 1935 and generally considered to be thebest vintage liaison (or L-Bird) airplane ever designed. Liaison aircraft were small, slow flying and usually unarmed aircraft used in World War II to observe enemy artillery or transport commanders or messengers. With its high-lift wings and fixed slots, it can take-off and land in less than 200 feet and has a stall speed less than 25 mph. It proved its worth throughout World War II, when more than 4,000 were ultimately built. Used on all fronts, its engine had a tendency to overheat, and the side cowls were generally left off in hot climates. Fans of vintage liaison planes prefer the Storch even more than the popular Mustang P-51.

In the words of Fantasy of Flight founder and creator, Kermit Weeks, "The Storch is sexy!"

The aircraft was involved in many significant events during World War II. Field Marshall Erwin Rommel, "The Desert Fox," flew in one throughout the North African Campaign, landing in troubled spots everywhere along the front lines. It was a Storch that rescued Italian dictator Mussolini from a hotel atop a mountain peak after Italian partisans captured him toward the end of the war. It was a Storch that transported the bomb that was used in the attempt on Hitler's life in July of 1944. Less than a year later, during the final days of the war in Europe, famous German female test-pilot Hanna Reitsch flew a Storch into the heart of besieged Berlin. She landed near the Brandenburg Gate to get last minute instructions from Hitler.


World's Greatest Dad will get a first-hand view of the Storch's cockpit.

Storch pilot and VIP tour guide for the day, Ken Kellet, builds and flies airplanes as a living, working in plane restoration and mechanics at Fantasy of Flight, yet, for more than 25 years, he has been actively involved in filmmaking. He holds a coveted Screen Actors Guild card, which allows him to participate in making movies all over the world. He pilots a plane in the movie "Flyboys," the 2006 release starring James Franco. In each of Franco's flying scenes, the man at the stick is actually Ken Kellett, or one of his compatriots.

Orlando repairing Lake Eola Fountain--bit by bit

In a city without many landmarks, one of the most recognizable symbols of the City of Orlando is finally getting some much needed repair work. The 52 year old Lake Eola fountain has been idle since an August 2009 lightning strike zapped the fountain's motors, lights and electrical controls.

A high insurance deductible, coupled with the economic recession, kept the city from spending the estimated $1.3 million needed to repair the fountain, but as the steamy summer months approach, local officials have signed off on a piecemeal plan to get water flowing over the dome of the fountain so the plastic components will not warp in the Florida sunshine.

The estimated cost of these basic repairs is $30,000 - $40,000, according to reports by the Orlando Sentinel. Bringing the Lake Eola Fountain into the 21st century with synchronized lights and music, as Mayor Buddy Dyer has suggested, would cost over $2 million. The cost of Orlando getting its most important landmark back in working order? Priceless.

Orlando weather in May

Orlando in May can be much like July in many northern U.S. cities, with high temperatures consistently in the 80s and lows in the 60s. The tropical weather of the summer months is on the horizon, so as the temperatures get higher, so does the likelihood of brief but powerful afternoon thunderstorms.

In many ways the month of May offers the ideal weather for an Orlando vacation, especially for visitors who would like to spend a day at one of Orlando's four waterparks (such as Blizzard Beach, pictured) or even a side trip to the beach. The crowds at Walt Disney World and Universal Studios Orlando taper off after the April spring break, before ramping up again for the peak summer travel season between Memorial Day weekend and Labor Day weekend.

Walt Disney World tip: Money saving advice

Everybody knows that a day at Walt Disney World is bound to be expensive, but there's no reason to pay top dollar all the time. Here are just a few ways to cut corners on cost, without cutting down on any of the fun.

• If you have any intention of spending more than one day at Walt Disney World, get a Park Hopper pass or one of the many multiple day passes that are available. Florida residents get special discounts, including an after 2:00 pm waterpark pass for Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon.

• If you are staying at a local hotel or vacation home, eat a hearty breakfast before coming to the park. Keep lunch light so you can splurge a little bit for dinner (or the other way around if you have little kids whose patience won't last that long).

• Speaking of little kids and big meals, even the hamburgers are theme park sized at Disney World, so split the meal between your younger children instead of paying full price for two plates.

• Necessary supplies like water bottles and sunscreen are more expensive on Disney property, so purchase these items ahead of time (but don't risk dehydration and sunburn if you forget them--you will need them).

• Learn the power of one simple word: No. That goes for the parent of any child who is asking them to buy every Mickey Mouse ice cream bar, T-shirt, cap, glow in the dark toys and any other merchandise that might blow your budget. Small souvenirs that are affordable and easy to pack are okay, but consider the quality of the gifts over the quantity of stuff.
