Walt Disney World, Orlando, Florida – Park Hopping Around the World in a Day

Disney World, Saturday 11/06/10 The week’s badly needed rain had stopped – glad for that; however, the brr 60 degree daytime temps – not glad about that. I want to bask in the sun and get some pool time in before it’s time to return north. I love amusement parks so in the morning hubby, [...]

Arabian Nights Dinner Show, Orlando, Florida

Abracadabra, Hocuspocus, genii magic make the current offering of Arabian Nights a must see for visitors to the Orlando area. Sixty horses (fourteen different breeds of horses), riders, and acrobats perform in the world’s largest permanent equestrian arena. Great entertainment–square dancing on horseback, chariot racing, thrills on horseback! Having gone to this dinner show was [...]

SeaWorld, Orlando, Florida

About a year ago (see November 19, 2009 blog), I last visited SeaWorld Orlando. Today I got to visit it again this time with hubby, two sons, and one significant other.

WonderWorks, located at 9067 International Drive, Orlando, Florida 32819, houses The Outta Control Magic Comedy Dinner Show. SHAZAM! Its Houdini, Alexander, Kellar, Blackstone and Kid posters set the mood. Magician Tony Brent does [...]

Cici’s Pizza, International Drive, Orlando, Florida

We had seen a lot of billboards advertising Cici’s franchises and the one at 7437 International Drive, Orlando, Florida 32819 was close by. Tired and hungry after a long day at the amusement park, we decided we wanted a quick bite, opting for its fast food pizza instead of burgers, dogs, or chicken. Hubby, middle [...]

RESTAURANT REVIEW – Solaris the Restaurant, Orlando, Florida

Make no mistake about it we all enjoy dinner shows and buffets at the right time and place, but there are the times that we want more. Disney World’s finest restaurants closed over the years. Gone are the Contemporary’s Gold Coast Room and Top of the World. Also gone is Downtown Disney’s five star Empress [...]
