Avoid the tourist traps of Central Florida. Orlando has more to offer than the typical hotels.
The Wave at Lake Nona is a boutique hotel located in Lake Nona. The sculpture garden is so fun and the food is phenomenal. A truly unique experience.

Highly recommend the Westgate Resort for a fun getaway. Great experience at the ranch rodeo and excellent service, cleanliness, and food. The glam tepee was spacious and comfortable. The professional rodeo and fun evening at the saloon were highlight...

Food
Trina is not only a great chef but a cool person. You may have seen her on the Food Network. There can be a wait but it is well worth it. Hint: Get the Vanilla Bean Bourbon Bacon Nightime SkyPie.
