Orlando International 4th in Passenger Satisfaction
Orlando International Airport placed fourth in the large U.S. airport category in the 2010 J.D. Power and Associates North American Airport Satisfaction Study rankings.
Orlando International ranked five points behind the number one airport, Detroit, and one point behind Denver International and Minneapolis/St. Paul International, which tied for second.
In 2008 Orlando International ranked third after ranking 14th in 2006.
The rankings are based on airport accessibility, baggage claim, check-in and baggage processing, terminal facilities, security checkpoints and food and retail services.
Although technology has revolutionized air travel during the past decade, the study found passenger satisfaction with airports continues to lag behind that of other aspects of the travel industry. The study found that passenger expectations of basic needs, such as prompt baggage delivery, airport comfort and ease of navigating the airport, are not being met consistently.
Orlando International scored higher on the most recent survey — 690 on a 1,000-point scale in 2010 compared to 675 in 2008. Nationally, satisfaction with airports was considerably lower than satisfaction with hotels, 756, and rental cars, 733.

IMAX movie theaters in Orlando
3-D movies are back in style, and seeing a 3-D movie in an IMAX theater—especially the Oscar-nominated Avatar—is even more incredible on a large IMAX screen. Many theaters are offering the 3-D experience, but it takes a specially designed theater to offer 3-D IMAX.
In the Orlando area, there are four theaters showing IMAX feature films. The AMC Altamonte Mall 18 is north of downtown Orlando in Altamonte Springs off of I-4 and is part of the Altamonte Mall, which is frequented by local residents. Orlando residents and University of Central Florida students on the east side of town tend to gravitate towards the Regal Waterford Lakes Stadium 20 & IMAX theaters. This theater complex is part of the larger Waterford Lakes outdoor shopping, dining and entertainment center.
In the tourist areas, the best place to catch an IMAX film would be at the AMC Loews Universal Cineplex 20 at Universal CityWalk. Keep in mind that visitors usually have to pay for parking at Universal CityWalk. There is also a parking garage (for a fee) by the Regal Pointe Orlando Stadium 20 & IMAX theaters on International Drive, which is part of the Pointe Orlando outdoor mall and across the street from the Orange County Convention Center.

Annual Aviation Camporee Brings Scout to Fantasy of Flight
Earning their aviation merit badges will be an experience that hundreds of Boy Scouts will never forget, as they gather at Central Florida's premier aviation attraction, Fantasy of Flight, for the attraction's Second Annual Aviation Camporee, Friday, March 5 through Sunday, March 7, 2010.
To help the Scouts celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Boy Scouts of America, Fantasy of Flight will present the attraction's Second Annual Aviation Camporee where scouts can earn their aviation merit badges with the help of skilled aviation experts.
Throughout the action-packed weekend in March, the boys will practice their primitive camping skills while participating in a variety of educational and immersive aviation-themed activities. The Scouts not only will tour Fantasy of Flight and visit real working aircraft maintenance and restoration areas, but also have the chance to talk with aviation mechanics, restoration specialists, and pilots by participating in a variety of special merit badge stations. They also will experience a number of simulators such as piloting a hot air balloon, flying a hang-glider or taking the controls in the cockpit of a real Corsair fighter. In honor of the 100th anniversary of scouting, a special giant scale R/C aircraft demonstration will be performed, courtesy of the Mid-Florida R/C Club.
As a former Boy Scout, Fantasy of Flight creator and founder Kermit Weeks is especially excited to help young Scouts launch their dreams, whatever they may be. "As a young man, I had big dreams, and certainly looked to role models to help me fulfill those dreams. It's my privilege and honor to help foster the hopes and aspirations of today's youth," said Weeks. "I want to encourage these young men to push their boundaries and strive to be all that they can be."
Weeks is not only the creator and founder of the attraction, he is a former world aerobatics champion, airplane designer and children's book author. In 2008, he won a Bronze IPPY Award in the 13th Annual Independent Publisher Book Awards for his children's book, "All of Life is a School" (KWIP Publishing, $19.95).
Cost of the Camporee weekend is $28 per person plus tax. The $28 rate includes admission to Fantasy of Flight, specially tailored tours and Scout merit badge stations, activities, campsite and lunch on Saturday. Reservations are required and admission is limited.

Fantasy of Flight Living History Series Symposiums
One of the only attractions in the country to bring together legendary World War II heroes to share their firsthand accounts, Fantasy of Flight is now expanding the first of its increasingly popular three-part Living History Series Symposiums by adding a luncheon with the Tuskegee Airmen.
The Tuskegee Airmen symposium, called "They Dared to Fly," takes place Thursday, Feb. 18 through Saturday, Feb. 20 and features several open-forum/question-and-answer sessions with three distinguished Airmen - Dr. Roscoe Brown, Lt. Col. Leo Gray and Lt. Col. Hiram Mann - as they share their recollections of wartime military service during segregated America.
New this year, on Friday, February 19, from noon to 1:30 p.m., Fantasy of Flight will host a special, reservations-only luncheon with limited seating in honor of three of the original aviation veterans, the first African Americans to be trained as WWII military pilots.
The luncheon will be held at the Orlampa Conference Center at Fantasy of Flight. Tickets are $65 plus tax per person and reservations are required. For tickets, visit www.fantasyofflight.com/livinghistory or call 863-984-3500, ext. 220. Corporate tables and individual tickets are available.
Now in its second year, the Tuskegee Airmen portion of the Living History Series takes place annually each February in honor of National Black History Month. A fourth member of the Tuskegee Airmen, Lt. Col. Lee Archer, was also scheduled to appear, but recently passed away.
"We are extremely saddened by the loss of Lt. Col. Lee Archer and we offer our most sincere condolences to his immediate family and his family of Airmen," said Kermit Weeks, Fantasy of Flight founder and creator. "His passing makes us all the more aware of how precious these first-hand accounts from our World War II veterans truly are."
Throughout the three-day event, guests can enjoy breathtaking flight demonstrations featuring one of the fully restored aircraft on display at Fantasy of Flight. Fantasy of Flight's permanent multi-media Tuskegee Airmen exhibit, which also includes previously recorded interviews with several of the pioneering Airmen, provides the perfect backdrop for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to meet the brave men who fought America's enemies abroad while enduring racism at home.
Prior to the Tuskegee Airmen, no U.S. military pilots had been African American. In an effort to undermine Congress' 1941 decision to form an all-black combat unit, the War Department created requirements so stringent they thought the posts could not be filled. The effort backfired, however, when thousands of qualified applicants came forward, many of whom had already participated in civilian pilot training at the historically black Tuskegee Institute. Of the original group of nearly 1,000 trained pilots and 15,000 ground personnel that made up the Tuskegee Airmen, roughly 100 pilots and 200 ground crew are alive today.
The second event in the three-part Living History Series takes place March 25-27. In honor of National Women's History Month, "A Passionate Pursuit" will feature the WASP - Women Airforce Service Pilots - a spirited squadron of pilots who left their homes and jobs at the height of World War II to serve their country as the first American women to fly for the U.S. Military. The event will bring to life the experiences of some of America's most courageous aviators through permanent and semi-permanent exhibits, real aircraft, and most importantly, personal stories from real WASP pilots.
The third series event, "Victory in the Sky," will take place April 17 and will feature the World War II American Fighter Aces. This elite group of combat pilots shot down five or more hostile aircraft in air-to-air combat in World War I and II, as well as Korea and Vietnam. Out of more than 40,000 fighter pilots trained during World War II, only 1,314 had the skill and bravery to become an American Fighter Ace. Along with firsthand accounts from the Fighter Aces, Fantasy of Flight's immersion experiences and meticulously recreated historical exhibits take guests back in time to see, hear and feel what it was like to fly some of America's greatest wartime airplanes. The true stories of these courageous pilots are further brought to life by the world's largest private collection of rare and vintage aircraft, and tours of aircraft restoration and maintenance areas.
During each symposium, Fantasy of Flight will feature "Open Cockpit Days" during which guests are invited to get up close and personal with some of America's most rare vintage aircraft and climb aboard for a once-in-a-lifetime photo opportunity.
Fantasy of Flight also hosts a number of other special events throughout the 2010 year, including the 100th Anniversary of Scouting Camporee, March 5- 7; The Blue Max: Scale Remote Controlled (R/C) Challenge and Fly-In, March 12-13; the Sun 'n Fun Splash-In at Fantasy of Flight on Lakes Agnes, April 15; Mustangs & Mustangs-Legends Havin' Fun 2010, April 17, Roar n' Soar, Nov. 13 -14 and many more.

Annual passes are available for $69.95 for adults, $39.95 for children ages 6-15, plus 7 percent sales tax, and are good for one year from the date of purchase.

For more information, call 863-984-3500 or visit www.fantasyofflight.com.
The Tuskegee Airmen symposium, called "They Dared to Fly," takes place Thursday, Feb. 18 through Saturday, Feb. 20 and features several open-forum/question-and-answer sessions with three distinguished Airmen - Dr. Roscoe Brown, Lt. Col. Leo Gray and Lt. Col. Hiram Mann - as they share their recollections of wartime military service during segregated America.
New this year, on Friday, February 19, from noon to 1:30 p.m., Fantasy of Flight will host a special, reservations-only luncheon with limited seating in honor of three of the original aviation veterans, the first African Americans to be trained as WWII military pilots.
The luncheon will be held at the Orlampa Conference Center at Fantasy of Flight. Tickets are $65 plus tax per person and reservations are required. For tickets, visit www.fantasyofflight.com/livinghistory or call 863-984-3500, ext. 220. Corporate tables and individual tickets are available.
Now in its second year, the Tuskegee Airmen portion of the Living History Series takes place annually each February in honor of National Black History Month. A fourth member of the Tuskegee Airmen, Lt. Col. Lee Archer, was also scheduled to appear, but recently passed away.
"We are extremely saddened by the loss of Lt. Col. Lee Archer and we offer our most sincere condolences to his immediate family and his family of Airmen," said Kermit Weeks, Fantasy of Flight founder and creator. "His passing makes us all the more aware of how precious these first-hand accounts from our World War II veterans truly are."
Throughout the three-day event, guests can enjoy breathtaking flight demonstrations featuring one of the fully restored aircraft on display at Fantasy of Flight. Fantasy of Flight's permanent multi-media Tuskegee Airmen exhibit, which also includes previously recorded interviews with several of the pioneering Airmen, provides the perfect backdrop for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to meet the brave men who fought America's enemies abroad while enduring racism at home.
Prior to the Tuskegee Airmen, no U.S. military pilots had been African American. In an effort to undermine Congress' 1941 decision to form an all-black combat unit, the War Department created requirements so stringent they thought the posts could not be filled. The effort backfired, however, when thousands of qualified applicants came forward, many of whom had already participated in civilian pilot training at the historically black Tuskegee Institute. Of the original group of nearly 1,000 trained pilots and 15,000 ground personnel that made up the Tuskegee Airmen, roughly 100 pilots and 200 ground crew are alive today.
The second event in the three-part Living History Series takes place March 25-27. In honor of National Women's History Month, "A Passionate Pursuit" will feature the WASP - Women Airforce Service Pilots - a spirited squadron of pilots who left their homes and jobs at the height of World War II to serve their country as the first American women to fly for the U.S. Military. The event will bring to life the experiences of some of America's most courageous aviators through permanent and semi-permanent exhibits, real aircraft, and most importantly, personal stories from real WASP pilots.
The third series event, "Victory in the Sky," will take place April 17 and will feature the World War II American Fighter Aces. This elite group of combat pilots shot down five or more hostile aircraft in air-to-air combat in World War I and II, as well as Korea and Vietnam. Out of more than 40,000 fighter pilots trained during World War II, only 1,314 had the skill and bravery to become an American Fighter Ace. Along with firsthand accounts from the Fighter Aces, Fantasy of Flight's immersion experiences and meticulously recreated historical exhibits take guests back in time to see, hear and feel what it was like to fly some of America's greatest wartime airplanes. The true stories of these courageous pilots are further brought to life by the world's largest private collection of rare and vintage aircraft, and tours of aircraft restoration and maintenance areas.
During each symposium, Fantasy of Flight will feature "Open Cockpit Days" during which guests are invited to get up close and personal with some of America's most rare vintage aircraft and climb aboard for a once-in-a-lifetime photo opportunity.

High speed rail will link Orlando to Tampa
At long last, high speed rail is coming to Central Florida, linking Orlando to Tampa before the end of the decade. President Obama has recently approved funding for SunRail to link Orlando International Airport with Lakeland and Tampa, in a project that is slated for completion by late 2014 or early 2015. the Proposed Orlando-Tampa train is expected to travel at speeds in excess of 150 miles per hour.
According to a recent article in the Orlando Sentinel, an additional 61 miles of the SunRail route will link DeLand in Volusia County through downtown Orlando to Poinciana in Osceola County. The first 30 miles of the route should be ready in late 2012, with the entire setup coming on line in 2014.
Currently, the most direct route between Orlando and Tampa has been Interstate-4, which connects Tampa on the Gulf Coast with Daytona Beach on the Atlantic Coast. The pros and cons of having high speed rail in Central Florida have been debated for years, but finally the long-imagined project is ready to get underway.

How Will Downtown Orlando Fit into High-Speed Rail?
Central Florida's plan for a fast train has been praised as detailed, thorough and shovel-ready, meaning construction can start with little delay.In other words, a big reason we received the second-largest piece — $1.25 billion — of President Barack Obama’s $8 billion high-speed rail pie is that we were prepared.
Here's a little secret: We aren't as prepared as we may think. At least not when it comes to reaping the full economic benefits that such a train can and should provide.Click here to read full story.

Drew Brees is going to Disney
So how is New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees celebrating his heroic play in Super Bowl XLIV? In the frenzied moments just after his team claimed the National Football League championship Sunday night in South Florida, he stood in front of a TV camera and shouted five words that have become an almost iconic reaction to milestone achievements: "I'm going to Disney World!"
Brees's pronouncement, part of the production for one of TV's most enduring and celebrated commercials, was captured after the Saints' 31-17 victory over the Indianapolis Colts - a game during which he earned the MVP honor, completing a Super Bowl record-tying 32 passes for 288 yards and two touchdowns. He was 16-for-17 in the second half, twice leading the Saints from behind. It added up to be a catalyst for the Saints' first Super Bowl celebration in team history.
On Monday (Feb. 8), Brees was to go to the place where millions of vacationers celebrate their personal milestone moments - Walt Disney World Resort. He was to be joined in the Magic Kingdom by NFL Youth Football players, who will participate with the Saints star in a Super Bowl celebration parade down Main Street, U.S.A.
This latest commercial is the 42nd of a series that began in 1987 following Super Bowl XXI. The first "I'm going to Disney World" commercial, featuring New York Giants quarterback Phil Simms, was regarded as a groundbreaking concept - a produced national commercial involving a current event, airing on major networks within hours of its conclusion. Brees joins a lineup of people from sports and beyond who have celebrated milestone accomplishments in "I'm going to Disney World" commercials.

He was 16-for-17 in the second half, twice leading the Saints from behind. It added up to be a catalyst for the Saints' first Super Bowl celebration in team history.
On Monday (Feb. 8), Brees was to go to the place where millions of vacationers celebrate their personal milestone moments - Walt Disney World Resort. He was to be joined in the Magic Kingdom by NFL Youth Football players, who will participate with the Saints star in a Super Bowl celebration parade down Main Street, U.S.A.
This latest commercial is the 42nd of a series that began in 1987 following Super Bowl XXI. The first "I'm going to Disney World" commercial, featuring New York Giants quarterback Phil Simms, was regarded as a groundbreaking concept - a produced national commercial involving a current event, airing on major networks within hours of its conclusion. Brees joins a lineup of people from sports and beyond who have celebrated milestone accomplishments in "I'm going to Disney World" commercials.
Why Orlando is an ideal convention city
In recent years, Orlando and Las Vegas have frequently switched places as being the nation’s #1 convention city. The benefits of hosting a convention in Orlando are obvious: warm weather, world-class theme park attractions, and the modern Orange County Convention Center in the midst of the International Drive tourism corridor.The fact that Orlando offers many more family-friendly activities than Sin City makes it easier for conventioneers to bring their entire family with them if they have a business trip to Orlando. Hotel shuttles and taxis provide convenient service from Orlando International Airport to the OCCC, and many I-Drive hotels also provide shuttle service to Universal Studios, SeaWorld and other Orlando area favorites.
The Pointe Orlando shopping, dining and entertainment center is across the street from the OCCC, so visitors can have a chance to explore a bit of I-Drive on their lunch break, and get an idea of how they want to spend the rest of their free time. WonderWorks, Ripley’s Believe it or Not, Titanic: The Experience, and dozens of restaurants are only a short walk or drive from the convention center.
Best of all, there is something for everyone in Orlando; so there is no excuse to stay cooped up in a hotel room when there is so much to do in this premier convention city.
