FLORIDA TRAVEL GUIDE: ORLANDO

MORE THAN MICKEY MOUSE
72-Hours in Orlando
Central Florida's theme-park reputation is deserved, as it is the world's number one resort destination. But there's another side beyond the amusement center clamor: designer shopping, great museums, top dining and, maybe, time out on scenic cruise past lounging alligators and swaying palms.

A SUPERB STAY

Gaylord Palms Resort & Convention Center

Portofino Bay Hotel

The Ritz-Carlton Orlando, Grande Lakes

HOTEL SPECIALS
Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress
This elegant 18-story, V-shaped hotel overlooks an exotic 1,500-acre property and aims to be for adults what Disney is for children---a whirlwind of fantasy and play. Though it attracts significant convention business, its surplus of on-site recreation and entertainment easily overshadows that aspect.

THRILLS AND CHILLS
Disney's Expedition Everest
This roller coaster inspired by the world's tallest mountain is the first high-speed thrill ride at Walt Disney World's Animal Kingdom. Guests zoom through icy caves, soar backwards over precipices and escape the clutches of a fierce Yeti.
