Florida Villas - Old Town

The second of a series of features looking at some of the less well known attractions in Central Florida, close to Kissimmee.

Old Town originally started out, when constructed in the 1980s, as a specialist shopping complex and later morphed into an all round entertainment complex with an amusement park featuring multiple rides, being added.

The shopping zone is made up of nearly a dozen dedicated shopping buildings each with a number of different types of shop sharing the space. The shops run across the full range from electronic goods such as cameras and Ipads to luxury goods such as designer handbags. Each of the shopping buildings also boast a number of restaurants, again representing all categories from formal restaurant to multiple fast food establishments.

The amusement park rides are spread over the site, although predominantly to be found at the front and back. For those wanting to take part there are a number of different rides some catering to the thrill-seeker, while some are aimed at younger children. Tea Cups, Merry-go-round, Super Shot, Happy Days Family Go-Kart Track and the Windstorm Roller Coaster are just a few of the rides on offer.

Old Town’s particular appeal is to car enthusiasts, especially those with a liking for classic cars. There is a Saturday Night cruise of classic pre-1975 cars, open to anyone with a car and a valid driving license. To get you in the mood there is also music of the classic Rock and Roll variety. Friday night features another cruise, this time focusing on American muscle cars from before 1988.

Orlando Golf - For Winter Refugees

Florida attracts millions of visitors every year, the majority of whom are primarily looking to visit Disney and the other outstanding theme parks. However, there are a group of regular visitors who are less interested in the parks probably because they have already visited them at least once. This group are normally retirees who return to Florida for part or all of the winter months and whose main aim is to escape the worst of the weather offered by North America. For this reason they are commonly referred to as Snowbirds.

For the Snowbirds, as well as regular holidaymakers who are looking for an alternative to a non-stop diet of theme parks, touring the Florida golfing scene is a major ambition during their stay. Here we will cover a few courses that are not too demanding, but which have enough of a challenge as well as excellent amenities, to make a great day of golf.

Orange Lake Resort – home to two golf courses, the Legends Course and The Reserve Course. The former was designed by Arnold palmer and offers a contrasting experience between the front nine which is pure Scottish links golf and the back nine which is all pine and oak trees. There is also a smaller nine-hole course, fully lit to allow play at night. The Reserve Course was renovated about 10 years ago and is a relatively short course with enough water and sand hazards to make a round interesting.

Celebration Golf Club – located in the town of the same name developed by Walt Disney, this is a beautiful course which offers a challenge to players of all abilities. Each of the holes on the course has a name that is supposed to reflect the nature of the hole, including the easy first (Shirley Temple) and the hard to escape from 16^th (The Houdini).

Falcon’s Fire Golf Club – this is a championship standard course and is immaculately maintained, boasting generous fairways and manicured greens. The course starts off friendly enough, allowing a player to build some momentum, before becoming increasingly challenging.

Harmony Golf Preserve – built on a wildlife preserve, the club boasts of its commitment to protecting the environment and any round is likely to expose you to a variety of wildlife including bald eagles, deer and turtles. Without being too easy, the course is not too taxing allowing you a chance to enjoy all the wildlife.

Florida Villas - Gatorland

This is the first of a series of articles looking at things to do around Kissimmee, once you have exhausted the main theme parks, Disney or otherwise.

Alligators are one of the distinctive features of Florida wildlife and it is common to see alligators as you are out and about. Even our resort of Paradise Palms has a few warning signs dotted around! A good half-day out can be had at Gatorland , an alligator focused theme park and nature reserve.

Gatorland was founded by Owen Goodwin over 50 years ago (1949) and is still owned and maintained by members of his family. The theme park is among the most visited in Central Florida, and is good value for money compared to some of the more pricey alternatives.

The park contains several hundred alligators and crocodiles and there is ample opportunity to get close up and personal, if you desire. As well as the more sedate educational aspects of the park there are a couple of shows well worth seeing. Alligator wrestling (rather him than me!) gets one of the keepers into a ring with a large gator and there is the Gator Jumparoo where a host of large alligators leap out of the water to grab chicken carcasses tied to a line, leading to an absolute feeding frenzy.

To get another view of alligators and their environment take a stroll along the boardwalk through the natural swamp area (110 acres) which contains breeding marshes and alligator nurseries. There is also a three storey observation platform giving a fantastic view across the whole park. This swamp area was used for filming sections of Indian Jones and the Temple of Doom.

Younger visitors may well enjoy cooling off in the Gator Gully Splash Park, although it might be wise to have a change of clothing to hand, because they will get very wet! For a more leisurely pursuit, you could try the narrow gauge railway which tours around the park giving an alternative view of some of the attractions.

Finally, for those of a more adventurous spirit, there is a zip-line which takes you more than a 1000 feet across the breeding marsh at nearly 60 feet and 30 miles an hour.
