Cheap Flights to Orlando

It's no secret that airfare prices have been rising over the past year, but it is still possible to get relatively cheap flights to Orlando. Air fares increase during peak seasons—particularly summer vacation, the holiday season, and spring break—but during off-peak times the prices become more affordable. During these times airlines might advertise lower fares, and for passengers who have frequent flyer miles, the off-peak season is less likely to have blackout dates for reservations.

Southwest Airlines offers cheap flights to Orlando just about any time of the year. Southwest's prices are only listed on their official Web site, www.southwest.com, and are not included on other travel Web sites that list discounted airline ticket prices. Southwest is well known for its affordable air fares, friendly customer service, and open seating for passengers. Frequent flyers who eventually earn enough Rapid Rewards points can earn a free, transferable ticket on Southwest Airlines that can help defray the cost of any trip to Orlando.

T-Rex A Prehistoric Family Adventure Opens at Downtown Disney

Newly opened at Downtown Disney: T-Rex: A Prehistoric Family Adventure. Disney’s signature nighttime hotspot is undergoing a lot of changes these days. Last month Pleasure Island shut down permanently to make way for more family-friendly attractions, and the T-Rex restaurant appears to be a sign of things to come.

The T-Rex restaurant has seating for more than 620, a couple of dozen life-size robotic dinosaurs and real fossils encased in the bathroom walls. It was created by the same creative team that brought the popular Rainforest Café to Downtown Disney, which is as much of an experience as it is a restaurant.

Since families are going to be the main target audience, kids will be able to do a little fossil digging of their own at T-Rex. Other features include a Shark Bar (for grown-ups, obviously) with its glowing glass bar, a 5,000-gallon shark tank and giant, robotic octopus; a life-size, robotic, tyrannosaurus rex; and themed dining areas such as the Geo-Tech Room and an Ice Cave.

Walt Disney World: Disney Boardwalk

Among the many attributes of Walt Disney World is the resort’s uncanny ability to transform what used to be Central Florida marshland into a completely different place and moment in time. Walt Disney World’s Boardwalk recalls the traditional boardwalks on the Eastern seaboard, with all of the glitz and none of the grime.

The Disney Boardwalk links together four Walt Disney World resorts: The Dolphin, Swan, Beach Club and Yacht Club, which are all considered Epcot area resorts. Staying in any one of these resorts (or booking a reservation through 407-WDW-DINE in one of the resort’s restaurants, like the Cape May Café at the Beach Club or Shula’s Steakhouse at the Dolphin) will grant your access to Disney’s Boardwalk, which twinkles with lights in the evening as guests stroll past shops, pubs, and nightclubs and live entertainment along a peaceful waterfront.

Gaylord Palms Resort Orlando

Best of Florida Christmas at Gaylord Palms
Featuring ICE!, our frozen family attraction made from 2 million pounds of ice
November 17, 2008 – January 4, 2009


As the Orlando host to the Christmas holiday season, Gaylord Palms Resort offers a slate of activities sure to make you "merry and bright" as part of our Best of Florida Christmas celebration! Our 4.5-acre atrium is transformed into a magical Christmas wonderland, filled with elegant and sometimes whimsical décor, a majestic 54-foot Christmas tree, and a variety of fun-filled activities and entertainment for the entire family.
This year's program features 49 days of holiday revelry, including:
ICE!
Who says the holidays in Florida are all about sunshine and palm trees? Prepare for the coolest winter on record as Gaylord Palms presents ICE!, a walk-through attraction hand-carved from nearly TWO MILLION pounds of ice.
Explore a whimsical winter wonderland of larger-than-life, three-dimensional hand-carved ice monuments and sculptures, including fantastic frozen creations, slippery ice slides, and memorable holiday scenes. As for the chill, visitors are given oversized parkas to stay comfortable inside the attraction, which is kept at a blustery 9 degrees. In its sixth season, ICE! will reflect the theme "Santa's Arctic Blast," featuring several scenes that star "Jolly Cold Saint Nicholas" himself. One such scene is an oversized "Santa's knee" photo opportunity that's likely to be the most photographed element inside the attraction. Another guest favorite, the ICE! slides, have been re-designed to celebrate Santa's Christmas Eve flight... reindeer and all.
The attraction's signature scene, a life-size Nativity carved completely of crystal-clear ice, has been described as one of the most breathtaking depictions of the birth of Christ. Dramatic lighting and a stirring narrative track give guests an opportunity to pause and reflect on the story behind the season.
The attraction is carved by a team of 40 artisans from Harbin, China. The talented artisans spend more than a month in Kissimmee creating this one-of-a-kind attraction. Harbin is best known for its annual International Ice and Snow Festival, where more than 2,000 sculptors annually carve a 100-acre walk-through Ice Park from ice taken from the Songhua River.
NOTE: ICE! is kept at a frigid 9 degrees Fahrenheit. Be sure to dress appropriately: closed-toe shoes and long pants are required.

The Majestic Christmas Tree, perched atop the Castillo de San Marcos Fort, towering more than 70 feet above Emerald Plaza.

Hidden Holiday Gnome Hunt, a festive family hunt throughout the atriums of Gaylord Palms to spot cleverly hidden gnomes.

Christmas in Florida: The County Wreath Collection, an exhibition of wreaths decorated to celebrate Florida's diverse destinations, from coast to coast.

Live stage entertainment, on select dates.

Holiday brunch with Mrs. Claus on select weekends at Villa de Flora. (Reservations recommended)

Lights, Lights, Lights, enjoy elegant, and sometimes whimsical décor and holiday lights throughout each of the resort's three atriums.



Fun Facts About ICE!
2,000,000 pounds of ice will be used to create ICE!
5,000 blocks of ice will be hand carved and transformed into a winter wonderland.
9 degrees Fahrenheit is the average temperature inside "The Florida Fridge," the home of the ICE! attraction.
1500+ fluorescent and fiber optic lights will be frozen within the ice, creating a magical holiday experience.
More than 18,000 total square feet of space is covered by the ICE! attraction. Kept at a brisk 9 degrees, the unique structure housing ICE! is also known as the "Florida Fridge." It is believed to be the first of its kind in North America.

Weather in Orlando: October Sunshine

October is a great month for weather in Orlando—the temperatures are coming down into the 80s, the peak season for hurricanes is behind us, and the afternoon downpours that are so frequent during the summertime arrive less frequently. And since the average October temperature in Orlando feels like the average July temperature “up North,” it’s a great time to enjoy the milder temperatures and shorter lines at the attractions as if you were on summer vacation.

To find out the latest weather in Orlando, all of the websites for the local television stations (www.WFTV.com for ABC affiliate channel 9, www.WESH.com for NBC affiliate channel 2, www.local6.com for CBS station WKMG, and www.myfoxorlando.com for FOX 35 news) feature up to date weather and traffic information, and the WESH site has a new interactive weather map to help website visitors pinpoint the exact weather conditions in their area.

Polar Express is on the way

Jump aboard The Polar Express Experience when it rolls into SeaWorld this holiday season beginning Nov. 14, 2008 and continuing through Jan. 4, 2009. SeaWorld’s Wild Arctic transforms into the fabled Santa Town taking guests on a magical trip to the North Pole.
The Polar Express Experience is based on the Warner Bros. Pictures and Shangri-La Entertainment film, inspired by the beloved Caldecott Medal-winning children's book by Chris Van Allsburg. The Polar Express Experience is a heart-warming journey, where families share in the excitement and wonder of a truly unforgettable train ride. The adventure unfolds on a Christmas Eve night with a young boy lying awake, eagerly listening for the sound of Santa’s ringing sleigh bells. Filled with excitement and awe, the boy races out his front door, dashes across the freshly fallen snow and climbs aboard The Polar Express.
As the train’s whistle blows, guests embark on the same adventure as they board The Polar Express Experience to the North Pole. Classic scenes from the movie are recreated in a multi-sensory experience immersing passengers in special lighting, scent, sound and motion effects. Upon arrival guests find themselves within a winter wonderland surrounded by holiday cheer, graceful beluga whales, powerful polar bears and giant walruses. They will delight in the smell of Christmas cookies filling the air and bright lights glistening on a festive towering tree as families greet Santa and share in a magical moment.
Across the way, just as the winter air cools and the evening stars appear, families can join Shamu for a magnificent holiday show: “Shamu Christmas … Miracles.” Shamu Stadium will illuminate with bright lights and glowing candles as Christmas carols adored and Shamu splashes to celebrate the holiday season.
While strolling around SeaWorld’s lake or through The Waterfront’s holiday-themed array of gift shops and restaurants, families can wander along a winter scene as glistening snow flurries fill the air. Guests can also experience “Christmastide” – a spectacular holiday fountain show where jewels of water and light adorn the night and dance to the merry musical sounds of Christmas. “Christmastide” begins Nov. 12 and runs through Dec. 25, 2008.
Igniting the spirit of the season is the “Makahiki Christmas Luau,” a South Seas-style festive celebration including succulent island cuisine keeping with the ancient holiday traditions of the Pacific Islands. Joyful songs of the season are reinterpreted with Polynesian rhythms, music and dance during this festive holiday celebration. Prices are $46.00 plus tax for adults and $29.00 plus tax for children (ages 3-9)

Ride Review: The Simpsons Ride at Universal Studios Orlando

The local TV commercials from Universal Studios Orlando says it all, “Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?” So says Bart and Lisa Simpson from the back seat of the family car as Homer takes the family on a trip from Springfield to Universal Studios Orlando to experience the new Simpsons Ride. As Universal’s newest attraction, the Simpson’s Ride is worth the wait—and the wait is also a lot of fun.

Riders enter the attraction through the mouth of Krusty the Clown and are treated to highlights from previous Simpsons’ episodes as they wait in line—an episode featuring “Duff Gardens” is well represented here. The attraction itself is a simulator suitable for riders who are 40 inches or taller—similar to but definitely wilder than the Jimmy Neutron Ride at the other side of the park. There is a storyline leading up to the ride itself—Krusty’s nemesis Sideshow Bob is on the loose (again) and is going after the Simpson family, whom he blames for his recent imprisonment. But look out for baby Maggie Simpson, who has ingested just enough radiation from Springfield’s nuclear power plant to grow into to epic proportions. While you are on the ride, keep an eye out for a couple of Simpsons-style takeoffs on two other Orlando theme parks—because catching the insider jokes on The Simpsons is half the fun.

SeaWorld Orlando’s Halloween Spooktacular a Family Affair

For the price of a park admission at SeaWorld Orlando, families can enjoy a full day of Halloween fun as part of SeaWorld’s Halloween Spooktacular, which takes from 11:00 to 7:00 p.m. on the following dates: October 4-5, 11-12, 18-19, 24-26 & 31. Children are encouraged to dress up in their Halloween costumes—but keep in mind that Florida in October is still pretty hot, so avoid furry costumes that are best suited for up North.

SeaWorld’s Halloween Spooktacular highlights include Trick-or-Treat sea sweets at several stations throughout the park (have the kiddies bring along their trick-or-treat bag), sea snacks, cookie decorating, as well as kids activities that include caricatures, face painting and hair wrapping. Live entertainment is an important part of the Spooktacular experience throughout the park and at SeaWorld’s Seaport Theater; where Elmo, The Count, and other Sesame Street characters perform in the “Countdown to Halloween.”
This annual event is popular with visitors as well as local residents, and a magical memory for children who just starting to appreciate the fun and frolic of Halloween

Mickey’s Not-so-Scary Halloween Returns to Magic Kingdom

On select nights throughout the month of October, Mickey’s Not-so-Scary Halloween will be open from 7:00 p.m. until midnight, culminating in a Happy HalloWishes firework spectacular that only Walt Disney World can deliver.

Mickey’s Not-so-Scary Halloween includes a “Boo-to-You” Halloween Parade and more special live entertainment. And don’t forget that Magic Kingdom’s Haunted Mansion has been recently renovated, adding to the spooky fun. Tickets for the event are already sold out for October 31, but should still be available for the following 2008 dates: Oct. 7, 9 - 10, 13, 16, 19, 21, 23 –24, 26, 28, and 30.

Ways to Beat Long Lines at Walt Disney World and Universal

Standing in a long line waiting to ride the hottest new attraction at the theme parks is not the most comfortable way to spend an Orlando vacation, which is why skipping the standby lines is the best way to enjoy a day at Universal Studios/Islands of Adventure or any of the Walt Disney World theme parks.

Both Universal and Disney offer ways to bypass the long lines. Disney’s FastPass enables visitors to insert their admission ticket to receive a FastPass for the most popular rides and return during a designated time. There is a one hour window of opportunity to use the FastPass and it is the best option for Orlando area residents who are not staying in local hotels.

For visitors who are staying in an Orlando area hotel, choosing a hotel on either Walt Disney World or Universal property will be the best way to get to the front of the line. On-site Loews Hotel guests staying at the Loews Royal Pacific Resort, Hard Rock Hotel or Loews Portofino Bay Hotel will receive free Universal Express ride access to skip the regular lines at most rides and attractions at Universal Studios or Islands of Adventure. The only other way to bypass the lines is to purchase Universal Express PLUS Passes, ranging in price from $19.99 to $55.99 + tax per person, per day.

Disney offers their resort guests something called Extra Magic Hours. Each day one of the Walt Disney World Theme Parks opens an hour early or stays open up to three hours after regular Park closing, so Disney Resort Guests can enjoy easy access to the most popular attractions. Purchasing a Magic Your Way Base Ticket with a Park Hopper option will ensure that visitors can take advantage of the Extra Magic Hours at any of the four theme parks.

Entertainment at Disney World: Live Shows at Hollywood Studios

There is no shortage of entertainment options at Disney World—the “House of Mouse” expertly combines thrilling attractions with live shows that keep even the youngest viewers interested in what’s going on. While all of the Disney World theme parks—Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Animal Kingdom and Hollywood Studios—offer live entertainment, Disney’s Hollywood Studios puts a special emphasis on live performances in keeping with its movie studio theme.

Toddlers and preschoolers especially appreciate the interactive Playhouse Disney, which has several performances a day. The featured characters are updated frequently to reflect the most popular programs on the Disney Playhouse schedule on the Disney Channel. Older kids and adults viewers will enjoy the action and adventure of the Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular and the Lights! Motors! Action Stunt Show that features plenty of explosive entertainment.

A trip to Disney World wouldn’t be complete—for a little girl, at least—without visiting a few of the beloved Disney princesses. Princess Belle comes to life with Beauty and the Beast—Live on Stage, and Voyage of the Little Mermaid combines highlights of the film with live action on stage (use a Fast Pass to get through the line quickly if your little girl really needs to see Ariel). Top off the day with the spectacular Fantasmic light and sound show in the evening, and you will have had a full day of live entertainment at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

Discovery Cove Welcomes Baby Anteater

The first baby lesser anteater born at Discovery Cove in Orlando, Fla. receives her daily check-up by animal trainer Higinio Covarrubias today at the park. Born Tuesday, Sept. 16, via c-section, the baby needed critical care from the training staff as the mom showed little interest in her newborn. Trainers provided supplemental bottle feedings (every four hours) while successfully introducing baby to mom. Anteaters are one of the many animals guests can interact with at the all-inclusive Discovery Cove.

Studio 6 Pottery Studio in Orlando

Who among us doesn't enjoy making something with their hands that they can show off to family and friends.

Which of us doesn’t have some kind of artistry locked up inside us that we can’t wait to express when we’ve got a bit of free time to use it? What better time than a Florida vacation to allow yourself to express your creativity in a way that gives you something to show for it?

At Studio 6 Pottery Studio you've got the chance to make something striking and elegant, or just a fun reminder of your Florida holidays or vacation. Studio 6 Pottery Studio offers you the chance to spend a little quality creative time, letting your inner artist out.

Studio 6 offers several packages that you can take advantage of to make a striking piece of ceramic ware for your use, or as a gift for someone at home.

You select the ceramic you'd like to make, sketch and paint it, and you've got all the time in the world since your studio fees are for each piece you make, not by the hour or the day.

You then leave the piece with the studio, who fires it for you and finishes it off, ready for you to pick up and take home with you.

The firing process will take about a week to be entirely accomplished so make sure that you leave enough time after your visit to permit the studio to accomplish the firing prior to your going home.

Studio 6 Pottery also offers summer camp packages as well as party and birthday packages so if you live in the area, or will just be visiting it for someone's special day you can take advantage of a crafting party, for children or adults, and you don’t need a birthday or a reason to celebrate. Just give yourself a party.

Just because you feel like it is a good enough reason to visit Studio 6.
