WonderWorks
Jul 23, 2007 by Jackie from NY/Orlando,FL

Overall Rating: 4

• Cheap price, definitely not worth it!
• Laser tag, not kept up.

“The laser tag was pathetic. You go in a room with about 25 people or so in a small area and its a free for all. The arcade was cheap and things broke down and stole tokens all the time. You can spend $10 easy and end up getting .50 worth of candy! The games are not even that fun.”

Titanic, Ship of Dreams Exhibit
Jul 14, 2007 by Kailyn from Ocala

Overall Rating: 10

• Beautiful, Interesting, So Many Things to Learn and See.
• None.

“My mom took my brother and I to the exhibit when I was 9 and he was 13. Even at that young age, we loved it. The grand stair case is amazing! There are so many interesting things to learn, which came in handy when I wrote a report on the ship. My parents and I just recently went on another vacation to Orlando and I insisted we go to the Titanic exhibit before Universal Studios. ;) However, although I testify to enjoying the exhibit at a young age, other children may not, as it is just a guided tour. Any adult will, no doubt, enjoy it.”

Holy Land Experience
Jul 3, 2007 by Diane from Louisville, KY

Overall Rating: 10

• The presenters were very professional and knowledgeable.
• I did not know that I needed to plan to spend at least a half day to complete the tour.

“The Holy Lands Experience was excellent. It is like stepping into the Holy Lands to learn about Judeo/Christian history. Plan on spending at least a half day to be able to experience all the presentations and dramas presented. The presenters, actors and actresses were excellent. The gift shop had a lot of unusual items not normally found in a Christian book store.”

Disney World
Jun 30, 2007 by Gary from Boston

Overall Rating: 9

• Great atmosphere, amazing rides, great staff.
• Very expensive, not much for teenagers.

“Disney is an awesome place to vacation to if you've never visited before, and have younger children. The rides and shows are aimed towards a younger audience, say 5-12 years old. Most of the rides are very boring for older kids. There are some rides that older group may enjoy, such as the rollercoaster's, but for the most part they are rather lame. The restaurants, the gift shops, the hotels, and the restrooms were all very clean, and very well maintained (all though very expensive). The staff if also very well mannered and helpful. Overall I would most definitely recommend a Disney world vacation.”

WonderWorks
Jun 24, 2007 by Ray from Gillespie, IL.

Overall Rating: 9

• Staff helpfulness.
• Traffic.

“Forget Disney and the high priced entertainment in town. Wonderworks are the best thing going. The staff, Justin and Jim, was extremely helpful when we had a problem and made sure we were taken care of. This being our first trip to Orlando, we went to Disney first. If there is a next time, wonderworks will be at the top of the go-to list...”

Capone's Dinner & Show
Jun 22, 2007 by Kat from DeFuniak Springs, FL

Overall Rating: 10

• Great food, great atmosphere, great show.
• Just hated when it was over.

“A great place for the whole family! The food was delicious (all-you-can-eat) and they brought you a drink as fast as you finished one. My kids especially enjoyed the fact that the waiters were part of the show and stayed in character throughout the evening. The show was cute and not too racy for the children. Compared to other dinner theaters in the area, this was downright cheap, especially for what you got! Total fun! We are going again next week!”

Blizzard Beach
Jun 20, 2007 by Howard from Philadelphia, PA

Overall Rating: 8

• The attractiveness of the park. The lazy river. The rides. The family friendly atmosphere.

“We had a nice day at blizzard beach water park at Walt Disney world. We liked the raft rides on the red slope despite the 15 minute line to get a raft/float. It was very busy there. The wait to take the ski lift to the upper slides on the green slope was a half hour in the afternoon. They have three rides on the green slope: two of them are fast rides for solo riders and one is a family raft ride for four people. If you have less than four people in your party, they will pair you up with other folks for the four person raft ride. We liked the lazy river as it was easy to access and had many waterfalls to keep you cool. It goes around the whole park. We liked the wave pool area (it only had small currents). It is called melt away bay. My 9-year-old daughter liked the preteen area (ski patrol training area). It was a great day at the park despite the large crowds.”

Capone's Dinner & Show
Jun 18, 2007 by Jason from Indiana

Overall Rating: 10

• Free beer.
• That it ended.

“If I had just one place to go while in Orlando, it would be here! My wife and 3 teenagers had a blast. Get the 50% coupon, pay for 1 drink to go in early to the lounge so you get seated early and get to eat early. Cost just $2 for a pop in the lounge. If you are the kind of person that likes to laugh and have a good time, than this is the place. If you are the uptight kind or have small kids, you should probably pass. Also has somebody that can drive after the show, they will have you drunk before you leave with all the free beer and drinks. Also look mean when they take your pix for the line up.”

Overall Rating: 3

• None.
• Too many to mention.

“This show stinks, besides this some of the humor is bordering on racially offensive. Surely black gags are outdated even in the south. Not good role models for young kids 'we did the ultimate combo overall wonderworks is a bit tatty laser tag staff a bit rude and some equipment faulty.”

Titanic, Ship of Dreams Exhibit
Mar 15, 2007 by Julia from Tampa

Overall Rating: 10

• Felt like being on the actual Titanic.
• Nothing, this was an absolute great exhibit.

“This is an excellent museum on Titanic! When you first get there you get a ticket with a name of a passenger/crew member their age and class. You go around the exhibit with a tour guide [very friendly] and you get to see what it would be like if you were going one the actual Titanic. At the end there is a big carved wall with all the people on the Titanic classified by Survived and Died and then it smaller groups classified by classes, so you find out if you died or survived. Also there was a big piece of ice that you could touch to experience a part of the coldness of the icy water that many died in the night of April, 15, 1912. At the very end there was a gift shop and your tour guide was there when you can ask additional questions. Next time you come 2 Orlando come to the Titanic, Ship of Dreams Exhibit! You will love it!”

Turkey Lake Park
Mar 13, 2007 by David from Mobile al

Overall Rating: 9

• All.
• 0.

“We have been camping for about eight years in a small RV and have been to a lot parks over the years. We really love turkey lake park in Orlando fl. We have been there two times and our going back in a mouth. It is very nice and clean with a paved bike path and petting farm. If you are going to the amusement parks it is great because they are chose and you can go the back way and stay off i4. If you are going to Orlando, FL in a RV to see the amusement parks stay at turkey lake its great.”

Walt Dsney Wrld-Fort Wlderness
Feb 15, 2007 by Joy from NC

Overall Rating: 10

• Everything.
• Nothing.

“Fort Wilderness Lodge was wonderful. The Log Structure is amazing. The restraint was great and the snack bar was amazing. The pools, landscaping and friendly staff was top notch. Getting around the theme parks was easy with the buses. I actually stayed in the campground in a cabin but had access to the lodge anytime. I would not recommend the campground though. Too much time wasted trying to catch thru right bus. I am definitely booking my next Disney trip at the Wilderness Lodge. ”

Overall Rating: 10

• The place was great for the whole family and a little edutainment too. The show was great!
• Nothing negative!

“I loved the show; I almost choked on the pizza because I was laughing so hard!! I thought it was really good. My Dad went up on the stage, for a volunteer for part of the show. This was one of my favorite things we did in Florida. I wish they would come to Atlantic City NJ to the casinos, so we could see them again.”

Capone's Dinner & Show
Jul 3, 2006 by Sherri from Mobile, Alabama

Overall Rating: 10

• Wonderful food and actors.
• A bit pricey.

“After visiting Capone's I would recommend it to anyone. The food was wonderful and the comedy show was entertaining. Although it was a bit pricey, it really is a time you will never forget. I would highly suggest it to all who are visiting Orlando and would love a wonderful dinner show.”

Titanic, Ship of Dreams Exhibit
Jun 20, 2006 by Kristen from Altoona, PA

Overall Rating: 7

• The tour guides wore period dress and answered questions in a friendly manner.
• Many of the artifacts were not actually from the Titanic.

“I enjoyed the exhibit because the guides were friendly and knowledgeable and you were given time to examine artifacts on your own. However, I was disappointed because many of the artifacts were not actually from the Titanic, but from her sister ship instead or only like the ones that were on the Titanic. The experience was nice, but not as amazing as I expected it to be.”

Wet 'n Wild
May 30, 2006 by Alyson from Flagler beach

Overall Rating: 9

• I liked how most of the rides were clumped together so that you didn't have to walk very far.
• On the lines for Disco H2O and The Surge rafts get stuck and that takes twenty minutes to fix.

“I loved all of the rides especially Disco H2O. All of the rides mostly have a height limit of about 48 inches. This is great because most kids are averagely that height so kids love it. Also, for kids not quite that height yet they have a kiddies park with miniature versions of all the adult rides. For the parents that want to relax the have plenty of chairs in the sun and shade, but also a lazy river. For nay body they have a wave pool. My favorite ride would be Disco H2O, their newest ride. I would recommend Wet'n Wild to everybody. The only bad thing about it is that some lines are long and the ground is hot. Some tips are to remember to wear lots of sunscreen and I personally recommend water shoes since the ground is hot. Lastly, remember to have fun!!!!”

Hoypoloi Gallery
May 12, 2006 by Carole from Norridge, il

Overall Rating: 10

• I love the beauty and diversity of the artwork.
• Nothing Negative.

“I really love going here every time I come to Walt Disney World. The artwork found here is really beautiful and very different and the ambiance is so tranquil. The glass art is incredible and I bought a beautiful clock. The owner, Ron, just opened a second Gallery around the corner called Pop Gallery. That was really amazing. They have a champagne bar and beautiful artwork too. I bought a phenomenal glass necklace by Katherine Berg that was so pretty, I've gotten a million compliments on it. I highly recommend stopping in.”

Hoypoloi Gallery
May 12, 2006 by Marie from Chicago

Overall Rating: 10

• I love the atmosphere and the artwork.
• Can't think of anything negative.

“This the most amazing gallery I've ever seen. They sell beautiful, original artwork in a tranquil setting. I found some really interesting carved wooden bowls and incredible glass art. The owner recently opened a second gallery- Pop Gallery a few doors down that was also amazing. I bought the most gorgeous glass necklace by this amazing artist, Katherine Berg, that was unlike anything I've ever seen. Both galleries are so fabulous, they are definitely worth a look. I can't wait to go back next year.”

Universal Orlando
Apr 13, 2006 by amy from jacksonville

Overall Rating: 10

• I really like terminator 3-d, Shriek and Jimmy neutron is cute.
• I've been so many times that there is not much surprise for me and The Mummy was too scary for me.

“I love universal studios Orlando! My husband and I went to their Mardi Gras celebration on 4-8-06. my husband began to enjoy the parade when he started catching a lot of beads for me! We most enjoy going during the off season when it is less crowded. Especially when I was accidentally burned by a stranger's cigarette as I was walking by him. Other than that our visit was nice. I really enjoy the terminator 3-d movie and Shriek is a lot of fun. Universal is really enjoyable to me as an adult and has a relaxing feel to it. we also like catching a movie at their city walk. It provides a good start or finish to our universal studios experience. This is a theme park I always enjoy visiting. Disney world has nothing to offer me as an adult and all my best memories have been at universal studios.”

Pirate's Dinner Adventure
Mar 20, 2006 by Roger from Lakeland, MN

Overall Rating: 4

• The set was interesting.
• Too contrived, over amplified, hard to follow plot became boring.

“



We had thoroughly enjoyed Medieval Times the last time we were in Orlando and had hoped for the same level of entertainment from the Pirate's Dinner Adventure. It was obvious that the servers and cast members didn't seem to be enjoying what they were doing. Overall the whole experience, start to finish, was over amplified, poorly lighted, confusing and hardy what one could call entertaining. Even if we hadn't been trying to eat during the performance the story line was near impossible to follow. Periodically we were encouraged to wave our arms and cheer even though we had little idea why other than the lights in our section were turned on.”

Capone's Dinner & Show
Feb 22, 2006 by Mackenzie from Pittsburgh

Overall Rating: 3

• Food, service, atmosphere.
• Staff, actors treatment of each other.

“Went to Capone's - the food was not bad but without the actors knowing we were there, they treated each other badly. I guess it is just competitiveness on the parts of the profession. Must be a real blast to work there with that pressure. ”

Titanic, Ship of Dreams Exhibit
Sep 30, 2005 by Michael Bruneio from Macungie, PA

Overall Rating: 10

• The entire experience was amazing.
• I have no negative comments, the tour was excellent.

“Before visiting this excellent exhibit, I had only a passing interest in the Titanic. After the tour, I was very moved by the plight of the doomed ship and its passengers. The guides for Ship of Dreams were friendly and knowledgeable, and the artifacts themselves meticulously preserved. Upon entering, you're given the name of a passenger or crewmate aboard Titanic, and given a little info about the person. At the end of the tour, you look on a large plaque listing the passengers and crew and find out if you survived. Also, a large piece of ice is displayed, and the visitor is encouraged to touch it with their entire body, this is to give the visitor an idea of what the water temperature was like the night of the sinking. In conclusion, I found this to be an excellent attraction, far more poignant and heartrending than I had anticipated. I came out of there frankly teary-eyed and awestruck. I heartily recommend it to anyone, especially families.”

Universal Orlando
Jul 22, 2005 by Sue from Le Sueur

Overall Rating: 6

• the rides were good, Spiderman was our family favorite, long moved fairly quickly. Very creative in wait lines.
• Exprees pass has a fee and costs almost as much as your ticket. Wait time amounts don't match.

“We had a one day pass and didn't quite understand if we could go to both Universal and Islands of Adventure or just one. We liked the rides, the lines moved pretty quickly and had things to occupy you as you waited. I used my AAA card at the Jurasic Park sore at saved 10%, a good deal. I didn't like their "express pass" add on, which is almost as much as the ticket itself, that is the one MAJOR draw back in my book. The only other small glich, which seems like a nice feature, but is inaccurate is, the signs they have posted around the park with the wait times. At one place it may say 10 minutes for Spidermand, anothe 15 minutes and when you get to Spiderman a few minutes later their sign says 45 minutes. It would be better if it were all electron it so they matched.”

Sony Theatres

Overall Rating: 10

• If you've ever wanted to see a good movie and was let down by the theatre check out the Sony.
• 10$ is the most you'll pay more than worth, trust me.

“Finest quality I've ever seen in cinema. Perfect sound, with a crazy seat shaking experience. Perfect, crystal clear, huge, huge, huge, screen, where every seat is the perfect seat. A wonderful time, one suggestion, watch something big, something exciting. I saw Titanic and The Matrix there, and I don't believe there's a better theatre to watch them in.”

• DINNER SHOW!
• Read review

“Okay, if you have an open night for dinner, I would tell you hands down, the best dinner show in Orlando is the Liars Magic Show at Wonderworks. This performance is worth every penny. All you can eat pizza, fee drinks, beer and wine. Great for families and all ages. I cannot say how great this show is. You will never laugh this hard... EVER! The Wonder Works part is good for the kids. A good place to kill time on a rainy day. Some of it is a little boring. If you get motion sick, don't do the rollercoaster. Also, for lazer tag it is only a dollar more with the ultimate package... this includes the dinner, Wonderworks and the lazer tag. I would recommend that... but if anything do yourself a favor and see the show!”
