Orlando International Airport

Passenger traffic continued to rebound at Orlando International Airport in November, with totals up 2.5 percent over November 2008.

Figures released this week by the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority show 2.64 million people got on or off of planes at Orlando International in November, compared with 2.58 million people in the previous November. It was the third-consecutive month passenger traffic showed gains over the previous year, following 15 straight months of decline.
In November the domestic traffic was up 1 percent, while international traffic was up 17 percent.

For the year, traffic remains about 6 percent behind the overall 2008 pace.
Orlando International spokeswoman Carolyn Fennell expressed cautious optimism about what she said "appears to be a stablization of traffic activity." But she said a number of factors ranging from oil prices to passenger confidence will determine whether the trend continues.

Maitland-based aviation consultant Michael Miller, president of Miller Air Group, was more optimistic, noting that nationally many airlines and airports are seeing improved business. Some airports, notably Las Vegas, remain down, and he noted that the improvements seen at other airports, including Orlando, are improvements over what was a weak 2008. But he said indications show that business travel is picking up.

"It's a foregone conclusion that the (airline) industry is in recovery," Miller said.

Cypress Gardens to become Legoland Florida

After closing yet again in 2009, Cypress Gardens in Winter Haven is now under new ownership and is slated to become Legoland Florida by the end of 2011. Earlier this year the Merlin Entertainments Group purchased the land lease and development rights to Cypress Gardens as well as the botanical gardens and adjoining Splash Island waterpark.

The British-based Merlin is the second busiest amusement company in the world, and it is part of the Blackstone Group that purchased the SeaWorld parks and entertainment last year and also co-owns Universal Studios in Orlando. Merlin’s holdings include Madame Tussaud's wax museums and the London Eye. The new owners have a history of successful theme park operations, including Legoland theme parks in Europe and California. The proposed Legoland Florida theme park will be the only Legoland in North America east of the Mississippi River--a similar set up to how Disney and Universal have established their American theme parks.

Merlin has indicated that the company will preserve a 30-acre section of Cypress Gardens' botanical gardens, so at least a small legacy of one of Old Florida's original theme parks will remain.

Cypress Gardens opened in Winter Haven, Florida in 1936 and was one of Central Florida’s premier attractions before Walt Disney World opened and forever changed the destiny of the region in 1971. The Southern Belles in hoop skirts, botanical gardens and water-ski shows have long been associated with Cypress Gardens, although in recent years the park has tried to compete with the Orlando attractions with additional thrill rides.

Solar-Powered Conventions

The Orange County Convention Center has adopted sustainable practices across many functional areas of the facility, and became nationally recognized for its initiatives. In 2007, it was the first U.S. convention center to be ISO 14001:2004-certified for its recycling program.

However, the center’s greatest innovation recycles one of Orlando’s most prized assets – the sun. The center was awarded a $1.8 million grant from the State of Florida to develop a one-megawatt rooftop photovoltaic (PV) system. The project will generate electricity by collecting solar energy and is expected to produce enough juice to power 100 average-size-homes. The system was plugged in during May 2009.

Eco-Friendly Orlando

Orlando continues its green evolution with more than 125 area convention hotels and resorts having been admitted into the Florida Green Lodging Program by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP). In fact, nearly all of Orlando’s meeting and convention hotels have received this certification.

To achieve this recognition, the facilities must follow eco-friendly practices, participate in linen reuse programs, use energy efficient thermostats and implement waste reduction programs, among the requirements. A comprehensive list of Orlando green-certified hotels and resorts can be found at dep.state.fl.us/greenlodging/lodges.htm.

Many of the destination’s theme parks, attractions, golf courses and restaurants, as well as the Orange County Convention Center, have also adopted sustainable practices into their daily operations.

Frontier Starts Oklahoma-Orlando Service

Frontier Airlines said that it has begun seasonal nonstop service between Oklahoma City and Orlando.Denver-based Frontier – a unit of Indianapolis-based Republic Airways Holdings Inc. – said the flights are between Oklahoma City and Orlando and Tampa. Service between Oklahoma City and Orlando International Airport began Friday, with four weekly nonstops, and service between Oklahoma City and Tampa begins Sunday, with two weekly nonstops.Frontier's parent, Republic Airways, announced Thursday that Frontier’s headquarters will be moving to Indianapolis later this year.

Rosen Hotels to raise money for Haiti relief

In the wake of the devastating 7.0 magnitude earthquake that struck Haiti on January 12, Orlando hotelier Harris Rosen, President and COO of Rosen Hotels & Resorts, announced a comprehensive and long-term relief effort to raise at least $1 million in donations as well as to collect first aid, medical and hygiene supplies to assist the earthquake victims in Haiti. Rosen jump-started the fundraising campaign with a personal donation of $250,000 and is seeking assistance from local companies, vendors, churches, Rosen Hotels & Resorts’ associates and individuals in the Orlando community to raise the balance.

Relief donations will be channeled through the Harris Rosen Foundation, which has managed the hotelier’s multi-million philanthropic endeavors for more than 15 years. One hundred percent of donations received through the Harris Rosen Foundation will be used for relief efforts in Haiti.

Supplies may be dropped off at Rosen Centre hotel, 9840 International Dr., Orlando, FL 32819 or at First Haitian Baptist Church of Orlando, 4701 Lenox Boulevard, Orlando, FL 32811 or at the Child development Center of Orlando, 11553 Winter Garden Vineland Rd., Orlando, FL 32836. Monetary donations may be mailed to the Harris Rosen Foundation, memo: Haiti Relief, 9840 International Drive, Orlando, FL 32819. The Harris Rosen Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization (FEIN #59-2890420). For more information, call 407-996-6715 or visit www.rosenhotels.com/haiti.

Approximately 30 percent of Rosen Hotels & Resorts’ associates are from Haiti or are of Haitian descent, bringing the grief and worry very close to home for the hotelier and the 4,500 total associates within Rosen’s seven Orlando hotels, which include the Rosen Shingle Creek, Rosen Centre Hotel, Rosen Plaza Hotel, Comfort Inn Lake Buena Vista, Quality Inn Plaza, Rodeway Inn International, and the Quality Inn International.

East-West Shrine Game at Citrus Bowl January 23

Some of the best players in college football will be playing at the East-West Shrine Game at Orlando’s Citrus Bowl on Saturday, January 23 at 3:00 p.m. The 85th annual East-West Shrine Game is the oldest and one of the most respected of the post-season collegiate bowl games. Since 1925, the game has been known for the quality of the players and coaches, as well as for the excitement of great college football action, and proceeds from the game support Shriners Hospitals for Children.

The West Roster includes players from Arizona State, Brigham Young University, Stanford University, UCLA, University of Arizona, Texas A&M, UNLV, and many more. The East Roster features players from Clemson University, Lousiana State University, Michigan State, Northwestern, Ohio State, Penn State, University of Miami, and Virginia Tech just to name a few.

The East coach is Romeo Crennel, who spent 28 years as an NFL coach, which included a four-season stint as head coach of the Cleveland Browns from 2005 to 2008. The West coach is Marty Schottenheimer spent 21 seasons as an NFL head coach for four teams: the Cleveland Browns, Kansas City Chiefs, Washington Redskins, and San Diego Chargers.

According to the official East-West Shrine Game Web site, every year since 1925, the East-West Game has been played to raise funds for Shriners Hospitals for Children and to raise awareness about the expert orthopaedic, burn, spinal cord injury rehabilitation, and cleft lip and palate care, available at no charge to patients and families, through the 22 Shriners Hospitals for Children. Before the game, the players will visit patients at the Shriners Hospital in Tampa.

Capitalizing On History

Orlando has a rich history of tourism and travel that goes all the way back to the late-nineteenth century when northerners traveled to the area for the exceptional weather and beautiful natural resources. Hoteliers began to see the benefit of the region’s climate and opened hotels aimed at attracting visitors, and by 1950 tourism replaced agriculture as Florida’s principal industry.


Entrepreneurs recognized the new opportunity and created interesting and sometimes odd new attractions for visitors. Dick Pope opened Cypress Gardens to visitors in 1936 and it is known as “Florida’s First Theme Park.” In 1949, Owen Godwin, Sr. opened his Snake Village and Alligator Farm. Later Godwin would rename the park Gatorland and it continues to fascinate and educate visitors to this day.


The landscape of tourism in Orlando and Florida would change forever when in 1964. Walt Disney began purchasing more than 25,000 acres of land next to the newly completed interstate 4 just east of Orlando. Seven years later in 1971 the Walt Disney World Resort’s Magic Kingdom Park opened its gates.


Throughout the next two decades, Orlando’s tourism industry began to expand at a tremendous pace with SeaWorld Orlando opening in 1972; the first-ever water park, Wet n Wild in 1977; Epcot in 1982; Disney MGM Studios (now Disney’s Hollywood Studios) in 1989; and Universal Studios Florida in 1990.


Today Orlando is home to seven of the top 10 theme parks in the country, four of the most-visited water parks and the second largest convention center in the United States.

Then it's off to Muster Station for applications of beards and eye patches, scarves and scars, earrings and gold teeth - all done with the savvy skill of a veteran pirate who shares his own tales of sea-sailing adventures.

After the new buccaneers recite a sacred pirate oath, they are officially part of Captain Jack's motley crew, leaving their old identities behind. Past a hidden portal and into the treasure room, the shipmates have their "pirate portrait" taken before being turned loose on an unsuspecting Adventureland - and no doubt feeling right at home at the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction.
Guests can choose from three daily pirate packages:

First Mate Package: Includes bandana; choice of facial effects; scars; tattoos; fake teeth; earring and eye patch; sword and sheath; pirate coin necklace; one 5x7-inch photo; and personalized pirate oath.$49.95 USD plus tax

Empress Package: Includes bandana; shimmering makeup; face gem; tattoos; nail polish; earring and eye patch; sword and sheath; pirate coin necklace; one 5x7-inch photo; and personalized pirate oath.$49.95 USD plus tax

Captains Package: Includes choice of costume/outfit from selection; choice of facial effects; scars; tattoos; fake teeth; earring and eye patch; sword and sheath; pirate coin necklace; three 5x7-inch photos; and personalized pirate oath.$124.95 USD plus tax

Newly-donned swashbucklers can test their pirate prowess on the streets of Adventureland where they search for clues and discover treasures. And for mateys who need a little more training, learn the secrets for survival by the captain himself during "Captain Jack Sparrow's Pirate Tutorial."

Boys, girls and grownups ready for the pirate life can start the process by calling 407-WDW-CREW.

Many Happy Returns ‘Give a Day, Get a Disney Day’ Anchors a Year of New Beginnings

With a turn of the calendar comes a twist to the celebrating: In 2010, Disney Parks will join in the celebration, saluting those guests who devote their hearts and hands to make their communities better places.

One million people who perform volunteer service for a participating organization in 2010 will receive a free one-day admission ticket to a Walt Disney World Resort or Disneyland Resort theme park.

The program, called “Give a Day, Get a Disney Day,” anchors a year when ground will be broken on the largest expansion in Magic Kingdom history, Disney sports becomes more invigorating than ever, Disney Cruise Line introduces new entertainment and activities, and Walt Disney World theme parks and Downtown Disney present 2010 editions of popular festivals and events.

Here’s a brief look …
“Give a Day, Get a Disney Day” (beginning Jan. 1) – Disney hopes to inspire families to volunteer in their communities during 2010 through this first-of-its-kind program that “rewards” volunteer service with admission for a day to a Disney theme park. To enable people to sign up for an eligible volunteer project, Disney is working with HandsOn Network, the nation’s largest volunteer network. Starting Jan. 1, 2010, guests can go to www.DisneyParks.com for the United States and Puerto Rico or www.DisneyParks.ca for Canada to search for volunteer opportunities available in those areas through HandsOn Network and sign up for a day of volunteer service. Many of the opportunities will be for projects that entire families with children age 6 or older can participate in together.

Disney’s Honorary VoluntEARS Cavalcade (beginning Jan. 8) – Each afternoon just before the daily parade at Walt Disney World Magic Kingdom (and at Disneyland Park in California), Muppets characters and parade dancers will join special floats and vehicles celebrating volunteerism and presenting Honorary VoluntEARS serving as Grand Marshals of the parades. Kermit, Miss Piggy and Sweetums will be part of the merriment, while the dancers will be donning outfits that celebrate the work of volunteers.

Fantasyland expansion – An early-2010 groundbreaking will mark the beginning of a three-year construction project that will result in a vastly expanded Magic Kingdom Fantasyland. When the project is completed (tentative timetable is 2013), guests will be able to:
visit a Disney princess in her castle, cottage or chateau to share a dance with Cinderella; celebrate Sleeping Beauty’s birthday with the Good Fairies; or join Belle in an enchanting story performance in the Beast’s castle library.

“Be Our Guest” and dine in one of three enchanted rooms inside the Beast’s castle.
Fly with Dumbo high above brand-new circus grounds, twice the size of the existing attraction with a new interactive, three-ring circus tent.

Journey under the sea with Ariel, the Little Mermaid, in her very own attraction.
ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex relaunch (February 2010) – A re-imagining project involving ESPN and the Disney sports complex, the leading multi-sport venue in the nation, aims to create immersive and entertaining sports experiences for athletes, coaches and fans by incorporating signature elements of ESPN in ways that will connect athletes and coaches with their favorite ESPN programs, personalities and elements. Guests will discover a new welcome center, a digital center where video captured by 44 cameras across the 220-acre sports campus is edited for display on 40 video screens and two “jumbotrons” throughout the complex as part of a veritable “Wide World of SportsCenter,” and the new ESPN Wide World of Sports Grill. Meanwhile, behind the scenes, technical staff will continue work in the Innovation Lab to develop ground-breaking ESPN on-air products – using the action throughout the complex as a real-world testing environment.

Disney Cruise Line Castaway Cay enhancements (by summer 2010) – Castaway Cay, Disney Cruise Line’s private island paradise in the tropical waters of the Bahamas, is getting an extra dose of pixie dust – providing guests with more water-based family-fun, additional conveniences and a slice of beachside luxury all designed to complement the idyllic island setting. Here’s a snapshot of what’s in store:

Guests can slide and splash at a new water feature called Pelican Plunge, a 2,400-square-foot floating platform located within swimming distance from shore and featuring an enclosed corkscrew waterslide, a 140-foot-long open waterslide, a giant water-filled “bucket dump” and four water cannons.

A brand-new, 2,400-square-foot water play area called Spring-a-Leak helps guests cool off while immersing them in what appears to be the remnants of a washed-away beach dwelling. The watery fun begins as guests enter the storm-ravaged structure, greeted by dripping pipes, broken plumbing and hissing misters, exposed and twisted by the tropical tempest that wiped out the original structure.

The Castaway Family Beach is being extended by more than 700 feet for families to enjoy the pristine white sand, build sand castles, relax in the shade under an umbrella and take a dip in the warm azure waters of the lagoon. Dotting the expanded Castaway Family Beach are 16 new family cabanas offering the privacy and luxury of a deluxe beach retreat.

Disney Cruise Line spectacle “Villains Tonight!” (March 27 premiere) – The first full-scale musical production dedicated to the Disney villains, the show is a family-friendly, fun-filled musical extravaganza that places these famous characters in some irreverent funny moments. “Villains Tonight!” features a “Who’s Who” of the Disney villains, including Disney’s newest crook, Dr. Facilier from “The Princess and the Frog.” The show also features classic divas and scoundrels such as Ursula (“The Little Mermaid”), the Evil Queen (“Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs”), Captain Hook (“Peter Pan”) and Scar (“The Lion King”). The revue-style show initially will be showcased on the Disney Magic and then will delight guests aboard the new Disney Dream cruise ship in early 2011.

Disney Cruise Line European Season Port Adventures (summer 2010) – To help families better explore the culture and wonder of Europe, Disney Cruise Line is working closely with local tour operators to create family-friendly Port Adventures for 10- and 11-night Mediterranean voyages and 12-night Northern Europe cruises in summer 2010. Developed specifically for Disney Cruise Line guests, these adventures feature Disney touches designed to entertain and inspire both children and adults while providing an impeccable level of guest service that pays close attention to the special travel needs of families. While every port of call will offer Port Adventures for families to enjoy together, many tours integrate separate activities for children and adults. While kids are engaged in age-appropriate activities supervised by youth counselors from the ship, parents are given the opportunity to explore cultural sites and points of interest in greater depth. Examples, depending on voyage:

A Prince and Princess Ball in St. Petersburg, Russia, at the majestic Catherine Palace hosted by Disney princesses such as Cinderella, Snow White and Belle. Arriving by horse-drawn carriages, the princesses and their princes will entertain guests in the gilded Grand Ballroom. Live musicians and royal courtiers resplendent in period costumes and powdered wigs add to the ambiance and lead guests in song, dance and regal revelry.

Sidi Bou Said Treasure Hunt in Tunis, a family-friendly quest that brings to life the culture, sites, sounds and flavors of this destination by following a series of clues. During this adventure, families visit a traditional Tunisian house, learn about the origin of Sidi Bou Said from a local storyteller, receive a hand-painted henna tattoo, bargain with local merchants for a keepsake water vessel, sip freshly prepared mint tea and get their name written in Arabic as a souvenir.
Tuscan Cooking School in La Spezia, where an Italian chef provides one-on-one instruction and guides the hands-on preparation of an authentic Tuscan meal. Guests enjoy their culinary creations such as antipasto, grilled meats, pasta, focaccia and cantucci – traditional Tuscan almond biscotti – while sampling wines bottled onsite at the farmhouse.

Walt Disney World “signature” events and festivals (throughout 2010) – The 2010 editions of eight guest-favorite theme park special events and the longest-running Walt Disney World special event, at Downtown Disney, plus the return of marquee sports events will dot the calendar throughout the year. In fact, there will be at least one special event happening on more than 160 days. Guest celebrities – from horticultural gurus to culinary wizards to national recording artists to stars of the stage and screen to heroes of courts and fields – will participate in events such as ESPN The Weekend, Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival, Star Wars Weekends, Night of Joy, Epcot International Food & Wine Festival and Holidays Around The World. More than 100 award-winning visual artists from across the country will “show off” at the 36th annual Festival of the Masters at Downtown Disney.

Disney’s iconic “big cheese” will host Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party and Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party on select evenings. Stars from the top tier of professional baseball, professional golf and college basketball will compete when Walt Disney World Resort plays host to the Atlanta Braves’ baseball spring training, the Children’s Miracle Network Classic for PGA TOUR players, and the Old Spice Classic college basketball tournament.

Princess Tiana makes her royal debut at the Magic Kingdom

Led by Donald Duck, a host of Disney and Disney-Pixar characters welcomed Princess Tiana Oct. 26, 2009 after her horse-drawn carriage ride to Cinderella Castle in the Magic Kingdom in Lake Buena Vista, Fla. Following a jubilant procession featuring dancers and musicians, Princess Tiana, featured in the Walt Disney Pictures' animated film "The Princess and the Frog," starred in the premiere performance of "Tiana's Showboat Jubilee!" -- a live musical production that takes place on board the theme park's "Liberty Belle" riverboat. The 15-minute performance will be presented in the Magic Kingdom from Oct. 26, 2009 to Jan. 3, 2010. The Magic Kingdom is one of four theme parks at the Walt Disney World Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Fla. (Garth Vaughan, photographer)

Medieval Times in Kissimmee Florida

The Medieval Times castle in Kissimmee Florida is the first such castle in North America. Built in 1983, it has become somewhat of an institution in the Orlando area. After more than 25 years, the Medieval Times Dinner and Tournament continues to entertain Orlando area visitors with equestrian splendor served up with a hearty meal.

Guests are asked to arrive about an hour before show time, and are seated 15 minutes before the show begins. Everyone in the audience is assigned a seating area and a knight whom they will root for during the evening’s competitions. In addition to jousting and sword fights, there are equestrian demonstrations and other forms of pageantry to keep the crowd entertained as the food keeps coming.

The traditional bill of fare is tomato bisque soup, garlic bread, half of a roasted chicken, potato, spare rib, and a pastry. In keeping with the Medieval Times theme, there are no utensils available—although guests do have a choice of Pepsi or Diet Pepsi (which is included with the meal) or they can order a drink from the bar from one of the “serving wenches.” And like many dining theatres and attractions in Orlando, there will be ample opportunities to purchase photographs to commemorate your party’s experience at Medieval Times.
