Most people associate Florida with a famous mouse called Mickey, a clumsy dog called Goofy and a loveable duck called Donald. However, despite throngs of tourists snapping countless photo’s with the aforementioned cartoon legends during memorable holidays to Florida, America’s sunshine state is home to a startling array of wildlife that would surprise most visitors. Let’s take a closer look at a few of Florida’s natural inhabitants.

We’ve all heard of the famous Miami Dolphins NFL team, aptly named considering the plentiful population of dolphins off the Florida’s shores. However, there are other mammals parading the Floridian coastal waters in the unmistakeable shape of manatees. Often called ‘sea cows’ and weighing up to 3,500lbs and 3m in length they provide an amazing swimming experience for all the family. The best places to see these herbivorous marine mammals are to jump in your hire car and head for Crystal River National Wildlife Refuge (70 miles north of St Petersburg), Chassahowitzka National Wildlife Refuge and Lee County Manatee Park. Coupled with the fact they’re so big, manatees also spend half the day asleep so they shouldn’t be too hard to spot!
The oceans surrounding Florida support a healthy ecosystem of wildlife. Yes, there are sharks in the water (over 50 species) and Florida holidaymakers are certainly at risk. The state has the highest count of shark attacks in the USA. Now the odds of being attacked by a real-life ‘Jaws’ are 1 in 10 million but there are some tips to reduce those odds further by avoiding swimming alone, refrain from entering the water if bleeding, swimming near fishermen and wearing shiny jewellery when surfing (jewellery replicates how fish scales shimmer to sharks!). Statistically, according to the International Shark Attack file it’s the surfers off Florida’s Atlantic coast that suffer the highest instances of shark bites, so surf with caution dudes.
For a more pleasant animal spotting experience concerning Florida’s oceans you can observe leatherback turtles on the East Coast nesting around the beaches of Cape Canaveral and West Palm, it’s an amazing spectacle, these slow movers are 5ft long and weight 500kg at full maturity and leave 2m wide tracks on the beach as they heave themselves back up the beaches.

Moving on from marine life, Florida is an ideal breeding ground for frogs! There are many species inside its borders but of note are the ‘farmed’ frog species; the Bullfrog and the Pigfrog. The Bullfrog is found only in the north of Florida whereas the pigfrog is widely spread. With a warm and frequently damp climate year round, plus lots of wetland environments such as the Everglades it’s not surprising ‘frogs legs’ are a popular dish in the state! Just to be clear, you’d need a permit to go ‘frogging’ in Florida, but there are probably better ways to spend a holiday in Florida.
Other mammals found in Florida include the raccoon, the armadillo, the coyote and surprisingly the opossum, a marsupial stereotypically associated with Australasia, but regularly spotted in lush, forested areas of Florida. Although only living to an average of 2 years, the opossum thrives on ransacking people’s bins, eating anything they can find. These cute looking furry critters aren’t dangerous to humans and often come off worse in confrontations with domestic dogs and cats.
Disney doesn’t have many cartoon alligators, and when the animal does feature in a Walt Disney classic it’s normally upholding its infamous reputation. With over 1m wild alligators in Florida versus a human population of 17m humans, there’s lots of opportunity for conflict. The beasts can grow to 12ft and their lethargic appearance has misled many a startled holidaymaker, within a flash they can snap their jaws and even run up to 30m.p.h. There are actually Gator Hunters operating in Florida to deal with the problematic reptiles. Obviously the animals know no boundaries but they do not seek human attacks and they usually try to avoid us, however sometimes things go wrong. Pestering, tormenting and throwing food to gators is usually the root cause. So if you’re planning a swim in fresh water, hoping for a spot of riverbank fishing or dangling your feet over the side of a kayak, be very, very careful!
On the subject of ‘beasties’, snakes are very prevalent in Florida with 45 species in total. Not that you’d be likely to see any of these bashful animals whilst on holiday but let’s point them out just in case. Rat snakes (alternatively called Chicken snakes due to their taste for chickens!) are so common across the state of Florida and easily tamed by humans that they’re often kept as pets, despite the likelihood that they’ll grow up to 6ft in length. Back in the wild though, they play a very important role in the local Floridian ecosystems by keeping rodents at bay, hence the name Rat snakes! Unlike the UK, some of Florida’s resident snakes are venomous to humans, here’s the deadly list; Copperhead, Cottonmouth, Rattlesnake, Timber Rattlesnake, Dusky Pigmy Rattler and the yellow striped Coral Snake. Rest assured, it’s very doubtful you’ll see any of these poisonous reptiles unless you visit Central Florida Zoo in Sanford!
Much more visible are ‘lovebugs’, these black flying insects can look like locust swarms at times and make their presence felt in April and May before re-emerging in August and September, they flutter around the highways making driving dangerous and are attracted to hot engines and roasting asphalt. ‘Lovebug’ by name but definitely not by nature.

Hopefully there’s a good insight here into the wildlife that exists in the real Florida away from the theme parks and the zoo’s, some cute and cuddly and some dangerous and worth avoiding, either way enjoy your visit to Florida and say hello to Mickey!

There is no end to ways in which you can enjoy yourself in Orlando during the day, due to the presence of the world’s greatest theme parks and amusement attractions. But the fun doesn’t stop when the sun sets; in the evening you can also treat yourself to a good time by visiting one of the popular dinner shows of this area. Let’s take a look at three of the most entertaining dinner shows awaiting you in the Orlando vicinity.

Not all the dinner shows are for the whole family, but there is one that will enthrall both adults and kids alike. I am talking about the Pirates Dinner Adventure Show which is set in the 1700s and has an elaborate stage.

When I say “elaborate” I am not exaggerating. The show takes place on a full-size replica of an 18th Century Spanish ship floating in a 300, 000 gallon lagoon. Guests are seated around the vessel in a theater-in-round arrangement.

The play is staged by the actors but the guests are drawn into it and become the “hostages” of the pirates who provide a sumptuous “final meal” for the guests.

You can find the Pirates dinner show one block from Orlando’s well known Internationl Drive. This location is minutes away from the Orange County Convention Center and 15 minutes from the Orlando International Airport.

If you fast-forward from the 1700s to the 1930s, then you will be set to appreciate the humor and food at another popular dinner show in Orlando. Capone’s Dinner and Show is set in gangland Chicago of the 1930s and evokes the atmosphere of the illegal speakeasy bars of that era.

The waiters speak in gangster slang and do their best to get you involved in the drama. While the show is going on you are treated to an Italian meal. It is set up as an Italian buffet but there are also some of the usual American items as well. You can eat and drink as much as you like.

Capone’s is a good setting for a normal night out, or you can take advantage of the group rate (15 or more people) and hold special events there. Birthdays, anniversaries, engagements and even weddings have been held here.

Capone’s is located at Kissimmee-St. Cloud/Osceola County , 4740 West US 192 Kissimmee, FL 34746. Telephone: 407-397-2378 and 800-220-8420.

If you really like Italian food, then you can also try another popular dinner show. Tony ‘n Tina’s Wedding Show is “set” at a very boisterous Italian wedding. The show is based on a hit off-Broadway production and has been acclaimed as “One of the most successful and imaginative hits in Off-Broadway history.” As with the other dinner shows, this one is interactive and dinner guests are drawn into the action. While the show is going on you get a full Italian meal, including a champagne toast to the newly married couple and some wedding cake as well.

You can find this dinner show at the Tony and Tina Theater at Glo Lounge (next door to Wonderworks), 8967 International Drive. Performances are held on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays at 7 pm.

So there you have it. Instead of just munching on a quiet dinner you can combine your evening meal with a lot of laughs and entertainment at one of these Orlando dinner show

Immersing in Caribbean culture is one experience every adventurous traveler should never miss. The best way to enjoy this culture is by actually living in one of its authentic luxury rental villas available in many communities. These villas, are usually upscale home that the owner is willing to rent out while they are not using them. The rental villa generally will be an up scale property located near various local attractions. Renting a villa provides a traveler to have a greater degree of space and privacy than they would find at a hotel as well as the ability to have friends and family staying under the same roof with them. This a great option for families!

The mesmerizing Dominican Republic in the waters of the vast Caribbean Sea is known for its charming villas, waterfront apartments, and stylish rentable homes. The properties in the Caribbean islands are exquisite just like Villa de Cap Cana which is located in Cap Cana in the Dominican Republic surrounded by the Punta Espada golf course. A location like Villa de Cap Cana offers stunning ocean views and a vacationing experience travelers will remember for a lifetime

When you are staying at the villa of your choice, you will notice that perhaps one of the most delightful part of the day is the sunrise, when the warm rays of the sun fill up the room and wakes you up from your slumber. If you begin your day early you will be able to enjoy these magical mornings especially at the Villa de Cap Cana since it spectacular beach views from its many balconies. This setting offers a unique and breathtaking sunrise experience.

In addition to awesome views and golf courses there are abundance of local activities; yachting and country clubs to exclusive spas, great restaurants, exciting nightlife, elegant boutiques and a casino; all you expect of a luxury rental villa.

Villa de Cap Cana is located on the 14th hole of the Punta Espada golf course providing an added depth of experience for golf enthusiests. While staying at the villa you have access to a live-in maid service including cooking and wash. The villa also features a private pool and and access to Cap Cana’s exclusive beach club. The villas staff will even pick you up from the airport as well.

No matter where a traveler decides to stay, it is always worth investigating local vacation properties for rent in the area. Many are often surprised to find out that they can easily afford to stay at one of these propoerties and have an experience far superior to that of staying at a hotel.

Disney World is a large attraction, and unless you plan your day you can very often end up missing out on some of the experiences it has to offer. Disney World offers attractions for all ages, both young and old so it is the ideal holiday destination for your family.

Booking your holiday to Disney is vey straightforward. You can usually book your tickets in advance before you travel. If you want you can stay in a hotel on the resort, or you have the option of staying offsite, perhaps in a privately owned luxury villa near Disney.

If you are travelling some distance to get to Disney you will need to think about how you are getting there. Most people will fly into Orlando so you need to think about booking your flights and then arranging your transfer from the airport to your accommodation.

Disney World tends to cater for many different budgets so think about what your family like to do, what they like to eat and what shows and experiences that you would like to see before you visit. This can help you to plan and budget your stay in Orlando.

Visiting Disney World is often like visiting downtown of any American City (in fact it is actually known as Downtown Disney!) If you are staying outside of the resort have you considered how you will be getting to Disney?

When you finally get in to the resort grab yourself a park map and work out what attractions you want to see in what order. If you follow a logical route around the park (rather than hopping from one area to another, and then back again) then your day will be much more efficient and you will get greater value for money.

The resort offers many different cuisines and dining tastes so there is something for everyone. Try to work out your dining times into your day plan and make sure that you eat somewhere that everyone in your party is happy with!

Disney World offers not only a great day out but a great experience. Make that experience even better by putting a little bit of planning into your day.

When traveling independently you will almost always do better in terms of price and quality if you veer away from the traditional places to eat and shops that the guide books mention. Going off the beaten track can mean you pick up a real bargain.

Restaurants

Follow the locals; if you head for a tourist orientated restaurant or shop you will find that the prices are substantially higher and often the food is not of the same quality.

Another good tip is to visit the local market where the locals shop. Not only will you get fresh products at good prices but you will also enjoy the experience of mixing with the locals. Ask those around you where to go, after all, it is the locals that are best placed to tell you where to go for a good deal!

A good way of working out whether a restaurant is geared towards tourists or locals is to see when it is at its busiest. Tourists tend to eat a lot earlier than the locals in most foreign countries. Any restaurant that is empty until around 9pm and then fills up is probably frequented by locals.

Car Rental

When it comes to rental cars the costs can vary widely and it really pays to shop around. Sometimes you will be offered good deals as part of your hotel stay or airfare, consider these as combination deals will also be a lot cheaper than you could get on your own.

Booking car rental when you have reached your destination is normally cheaper than reserving in advance if you have not got a good combination deal.

Make sure that you have suitable insurance, as any accident could make a huge dent in your holiday budget! There are good ways to save money, but insurance is not an area that you should scrimp on.

Always select the smallest car that is suitable for your needs, this will be cheaper and will cost less in gas. There is also a reasonable chance that you will be upgraded for free. If you are feeling bold, it is worth asking at the counter if there is any chance of a free upgrade, you never know your luck!

If you are booking car hire from a distance, look at the costs of car hire from the airport as well as from the city that you are staying in. Car hire companies will pay more to have an airport franchise and you may find this reflected in the prices that you are quoted.

Always fill up the gas before you get back to the car rental office. Car rental companies will charge well over the odds for any extra gas that they need to replace on your behalf so take the time to tank up before you get back if you do not want a large bill at the end.

Orlando is a very popular tourist destination. The Orlando airport is the busiest in Florida. There are ways to find a good deal on flights to Orlando, but you will need to start planning early to find the best rate. Consider the time of year, time of day and day of the week when looking for a good deal. Search the internet to compare prices and find the best deal. Saving on your flight will leave you with more money to enjoy all this city has to offer.

Finding a Good Price for Flights to Orlando

Good rates can sometimes be found with major airlines. Major carriers offer discount airfares and seasonal deals. When they get into ticketing wars, this can be good for you. Only a certain number of seats on each flight are discounted. Once these are sold, the price goes up for the remaining seats on the flight. Book your flight early to get a good price. Sometimes travel is restricted to certain dates or days of the week. Take this into consideration when making your reservation.

Compare prices with different airlines. This information can be found on travel websites. Not all sites offer the same fares for each flight. Check fares with a few different sites to find the best deal. This will take more time, but you will save more money by taking the time to research the best rates with each airline.

Sometimes you can save money with special package deals. If you book your hotel, flight and even your car rental, you can save even more. Travel agents often have information on package vacations to Orlando. Contact your travel agent for information on package deals available at the time of year you plan to fly.

The time of year will affect the price you will pay for your ticket. School holidays, especially around Christmas and Spring Break are very popular travel times. Flights tend to fill up fast. You may pay more for your ticket during these seasons. Deals can often be found after the Christmas holidays, in January and February.

Consider flying during off peak hours to save more money. Flights that depart early in the morning or at night tend to be less expensive than mid day flights. You will have to get up early to catch the flight, but you will save. The day of the week will also affect the fare you pay. Flying mid week is cheaper than flying on a weekend. Consider this when planning your vacation. It can save you quite a bit of money.

Flights to Orlando with Discount Airlines

Several discount airlines are giving the larger carriers a run for their money. These smaller carriers offer cheaper fares to Orlando. You can often find information on the internet for many of these flights. Discount carriers are not always listed on larger travel sites. You may have to contact the airline directly to find a flight from your point of departure to Orlando. This will take more time in researching fares, as you will have to call each airline directly. Again, the time you put into your search will pay off in a cheaper flight.

Discount airlines often offer less in the way of service on the flight. Some offer only snacks and drinks but no food. Others don’t offer any snacks at all and you may have to pay for drinks on the flight. This is a small price to pay for the savings you will get on your ticket. Scaling back on extras allows the airline to offer a better deal on airfares.

For a real links-style golf experience we discovered the Royal St. Cloud Golf Links, located in St. Cloud, about 25 minutes southeast of the Orlando airport or the Disney area. The Royal St. Cloud Links greet you with a rolling layout of links-style fairways, punctuated by classic links bunkers that feature names such as Hell, Spectacles, Devil’s Pocket and Hoofprint. True to its link heritage, every club in the bag will be utilized as the terrain is naturally varied.

Unlike other Orlando golf courses, the Royal St. Cloud is free of any residential developments and offers a pure golf experience. The design features four sets of tees and from the blue tee offers a championship length of 7,111 yards and a 74.6 rating, all on flawless fairways and silky-smooth Tifeagle greens.

Its motto, as printed above the entrance to the club house is “Original Golf Played Here”, and indeed the Royal St. Cloud features original style golf at its unpretentious best. I had a chance to talk to Bill Filson, the Director of Golf and since 2002 co-owner of this facility.

Bill has an extensive teaching background. He has personally studied under some of the top-ranked teaching professionals and brings 12 years of teaching experience that featured beginners to PGA tour professionals. Bill has consistently been a top-ranked PGA Professional. The Royal St. Cloud’s teaching staff is complemented by Dave Rummels who brings 17 years of valuable PGA Tour experience with him and can share advice from the “Tour” with the students. Associate Professional, Doug Holloway, has 16 years coaching experience.

At the Royal St. Cloud Golf Links the commitment to teaching the game of golf commitment includes state-of-the art video equipment and even a teaching tent for inclement weather. Lessons, programs, and clinics are offered for every skill level and requirement. Bill explained that they run very reasonably priced children’s clinics at $7.00 per clinic and the club has 120 members in their junior program. Ladies can also learn the sport without embarrassment in a relaxed, comfortable environment. And with every family membership at the club kids play for free.

Bill prides himself on offering one of the greatest values in golf in the Orlando area. For the 2005-2006 season rates vary from $46 to $48 from November 1 to January 10, and $64 from January 11 to April 30, 2006. Discounted tee time rates
are available after 11 am or 12 pm respectively, 7 days/week. Bill went on to say that the fees at the Royal St. Cloud are always reasonable, and that he aims not to oversell his course, but to exceed the visitors’ expectations.

In addition, he offers a very unique proposition: a 100% money-back guarantee with no conditions if you didn’t enjoy your playing experience at the Royal St. Clouds. He said in the almost three years since he has run this course only 2 people ever asked for a refund; a phenomenal achievement, considering that several tens of thousands of rounds are played here every year.

One of the very unique features of this course is the handcrafted stonework which is evident in four bridges found throughout the course that have been hand-built by one individual brick by brick. Bill said that some of the bridges are even a little bit crooked, just to give them more character. The most famous stone bridge can be found on the 5th hole and many of the British visitors to this golf course come here specifically for this unique feature.

Bill explained that his golf course serves a value-based market that is composed of local residents, snowbirds escaping the cold northern winters, and British golfers, a very loyal crowd who refer this facility to many of their friends back home.

The Royal St. Cloud Golf Links have been rated as one of the Top 5 Most Underrated Golf Courses in the Orlando area and they have hosted the 2004 and 2005 British Junior Amateur. With its wide-open fairways the course looks deceptively simple, however, I experienced very quickly the unique challenges offered by the Royal St. Cloud. Traditional links golf is played on the ground, unfortunately I still managed to find water several times, despite the generously open fairways.

The other feature I really enjoyed were a number of the ponds on the back nine of the course that were playing host to a variety of local wildlife and water birds. I particularly enjoyed watching a very rare specimen of wood stork stalking the edges of a pond for food, and a crane standing upright with stretched out wings. The course had a very relaxed, casual and friendly feel to it and we enjoyed a tasty hot dog after our game on the beautiful patio outside the clubhouse as a way to cap off a very enjoyable golf experience on a gorgeous day.

Driving Directions from the Disney Area:
Royal St. Cloud Golf Links is an easy 25 miles from the Disney area.
