Disney’s Characters In Flight - Review
Disney's Characters in Flight is a welcome addition to Downtown Disney. With the recent closing of the Virgin Mega Store (a museum of Princess Diana "The Peoples Princess" has filled the space through Nov. 30, 2009 ) along with an ongoing revamp of Pleasure Island, it's been a little bland downtown. Disney is trying to spice things up with Characters in Flight. A bit of full disclosure: I am in the process of getting a hot-air balloon pilots license so my views are slightly skewed. I wouldn't call the ride 'thrilling' (see disclosure above) but it's certainly interesting. While the roof of ...
A sneak peak of SeaWorlds latest coaster - Manta
I was invited to the VIP opening of Manta, SeaWorld’s new adventure roller coaster, that is taking place on May 24th. However, the ride opened earlier than expected to the public and my kids could not wait so we went and rode Manta today. All I can say is WOW. The entrance to the ride is pretty cool, literally, as much of it is indoors and nicely air conditioned. There are aquariums along the route for viewing - nice for taking your mind off the long wait. Fortunately for us, the wait was only 10 minutes. You enter the ride and sit ...
A visit to the Magic Kingdom: What was old is new again
As a local, it's rare that I would spend a full day in any Orlando theme park. This is especially true of the Magic Kingdom. While a 'must see' for any first timer, I've been there 30 times (at least) and these days it's enough to visit for a few hours or attend a special event such as Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween. Perhaps we'll have dinner with visiting family, hop on It's a Small World or just watch the fireworks. Whatever we do, we are in and out. However, when visiting relatives want an escorted trip through the park it's hard ...

Indoor SkyDiving at SkyVenture, Orlando.
I have always wanted to skydive but have never had the chance. So, when I had the opportunity to try indoor skydiving, I jumped (no pun intended) at the opportunity. The company that offers this adventure is Sky Venture located 6805 Visitors Circle in Orlando. The first thing you do is receive instructions on what to do once you are in the wind...

Diving at Living seas: a very cool experience for an experienced or inexperienced diver
I would consider myself a fairly experienced diver and living in central Florida has a lot of benefits for a scuba diver as it is an ideal location with its proximity to both coasts. Not only that but the Florida Keys and the entire Caribbean are easily accessible for great diving adventures. However, in my very back yard at Disney’s Epcot,... [Read more of this review]
