Legoland har åpnet Vannland

Legoland har nylig åpnet en utrolig gøyal vannpark.

Et besøk i Legoland krever en full dag, så start tidlig!

Legoland er ca. 20 - 30 minutter syd for Davenport ved Orlando. Det er i Davenport de fleste utleieboliger er, så dette er en kort reisevei syd på Hwy 27 for familiens dagsutflukt.

Glad i sjokolade?


The Chocolate Kingdom i Old Town, Kissimmee er en interaktiv og morsom butikk med masser av søtsaker og opplevelser.

Her serveres et animert eventyr med prins George som er forelsket i prinsesse Chocolina. Uten at jeg røper fortsettelsen nå, så blir kundene engasjert i en sjokolade-prosess for å hjelpe den forelskede George til å få sin utkårede.

Dernest forteller guiden historien om hvordan sjokoladen ble til, helt fra Maya-indianernes tid.

Her kan du lage din egen sjokolade også med mange ingredienser å velge mellom!

Ta med hele familien på et hyggelig besøk.

Hvorfor ikke kombinere dette på en lørdag ettermiddag mens det forberedes til den ukentlige gammelbil-paraden som starter kl 2030!

Se under "Opplevelser" på websiden her for mer info om paraden og Old Town.

Her er websiden til The Chocolate Kingdom.

De har fabrikk-omvisning hver hele time fra kl. 12 - 18 alle dager.
Det kan være smart å booke tid på forhånd. En tur varer 45 minutter.

Kennedy Space Center - Utvidelse 29.6.13


Vil du være astronaut i Atlantis?

Rising up from the horizon, approaching Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex, is the new home for orbiter Atlantis. Peeking above the building is the top of the full scale 184’ replica of the shuttle’s external tank and 2 solid rocket boosters. The exterior design of the building includes architectural elements representative of the shuttle’s wings in hues of orange and gold to represent the fiery glow of re-entry. The inner layer is covered in a shimmering gray tile pattern to mimic the underside of the orbiter.

Be the Astronaut! Atlantis attraction is full of interactive activities for visitors. Experience what it is like to perform tasks on a spacewalk. Your hands appear on a monitor and you do the work. Find out what it takes to move the 250 ton crane in the Vehicle Assembly Building, used to lift orbiters vertically before launch. There are 21 consoles, with exclusive simulator software based on programs used by NASA, that simulate a shuttle landing, piloting the shuttle to dock with the International Space Station, and manipulating the robotic Canadarm to remove a payload from the shuttle’s bay. Augmented reality gives you a view of the Atlantis that few have seen – a 360° view of Atlantis’ interior.

Attraksjonen finner du på Floridas østkyst, og her er websiden.

You’ll gently pedal your way through the pine flatwoods passing over palmetto, lopsided Indian grass and Florida’s beautiful seasonal wild flowers. As you head into Turkey Slough you’ll be amazed at the up close aerial views of this pristine example of Florida’s forested wetlands. Wind through the cypress trees and keep an eye out for bromeliads growing in the canopy.You may also spot some of florida’s natural residents along the way as you pass over the home of white tail deer and through the treetop habitats of woodpeckers, owls and countless other canopy residents. 
One resident you’ll be sure to enjoy is George, a 13 foot alligator who’s called Forever Florida home for over 60 years. You’ll get a chance to meet George as you pedal right over the pond that he calls home, all part of your Cypress Canopy Cycle adventure!

Relaxing, Fun and Safe

The Cypress Canopy Cycle can be enjoyed by guests ages 10 and up who weigh up to 275lbs. It's as easy as peddling a bicycle but requires no steering at all! Multiple safety connections, fastened by an expert guide, serve to keep you secure throughout the entire journey. Once you begin your journey, there are no additional connections to make, just sit back and relax as you pedal through this one hour adventure!
