Experience Orlando

This place is no regular zoo. My family and I have been to a lot of zoos and have visited Animal Kingdom many times in our travels to Orlando and I can say that Gatorland may be the most entertaining of all.

For people who are not used to seeing alligators, this place is amazing. Gatorland gives guests a feel like they are walking in the Florida everglades. The while park really gives you the chance to capture the true natural wildlife of Florida.

My son loved the show where a “crazy trainer” performed stunts with the gators like putting his head in their mouths. I personally just appreciated a zoo that was different than most I was used to taking my 8 year old too. This place is a must see.

Orlando, Florida is the nation’s hub for theme park entertainment. Walt Disney World, Universal Orlando and SeaWorld are the main theme park attractions in Orlando. With so much to see and do at each attraction, it’s easy to spend days at any one of the fun and exciting parks.

Sure, anti-smoking legislation has limited the places you can find and enjoy a good cigar, but that also means that for those of us who do enjoy the occasional stogie, those few places where we still can are also places where we’ll find like-minded individuals. It’s always more pleasant to be in the company of those who share your hobby, rather than to foist your smoke on those who would prefer not to smell it.

Orlando is a great place to find these elusive cigar connoisseurs’ retreats. Whether you need a break from the theme park action, want a classic cigar bar with a good selection of complimentary adult beverages, or are simply trying to track down that oh-so-rare brand that has eluded your usual tobacconist, Orlando may hold the answer. After the jump you’ll find my personal suggestions for where to find stogies in the Orlando area.

With golf being the central amenity at all Ginn Resorts, it’s no surprise that Ginn Reunion Resort is home to championship tournament play. In addition to the Ginn Open held at Ginn Reunion Resort, Ginn Resorts also operates golf tournaments at other Ginn locations.

If you are on business, like I was, at Ginn Reunion, and looking for things to do take some time out to go see an Orlando Predators game. Boy, am I glad they were in town.

I had never seen an arena football game before but I will certainly seek out more now. I can’t even recall who the Predators played but I can tell you that both teams scored over 60 points. The action never stopped on the 60 yard field. This type of football was made to be fast and mean. I loved watching the defense tackle the ball carriers into the walls. It was like combination of hockey and football.

Take my advice and check out a game if you are in the need for something different out of Orlando.

My family and I have stayed in Orlando for the last three years and we have been to every park there is. We have been to Epcot, Magic Kingdom, Typhoon Lagoon, Universal, and even Gatorland and we wanted to try something new.

After talking it over with my husband and kids we decided to take our love for thrills and theme parks to Tampa so we hopped in our rental and drove to Busch Gardens. Unexpectedly, but fortunately, the drive only took us 50 minutes from the Ginn property.

Busch Gardens was great! They had something for all of us. My two oldest loved all the fast roller coasters like the Kumba, Montu (your feet dangle), Gwazi, and the newest addition SheiKra (a “dive” coaster, meaning it goes straight down!). As for my youngest, she had a blast on the Gondola that hung high above zebras, giraffes, and even antelope that grazed in Busch Gardens man made savannah.

In all honesty, I would say Busch Gardens is up there with any Orlando attraction as far as thrills, entertainment, food, and fun go.
