[vc_row][vc_column icons_position=”left”][vc_column_text]Looking for an adrenaline rush? Chills and thrills? It\u2019s all there in the Florida sun of Kissimmee<\/a>. So grab your buds and head to the theme park capital of the world where you\u2019ll find venues to take you on over-the-top adventures!<\/p>\n

New at Universal Orlando Resort <\/strong><\/p>\n

Escape to an Escape Room? At Universal Orlando Resort’s CityWalk<\/strong><\/a>, their new Escape Room combines the game with the grandaddy of movie adventures at \u201cUniversal\u2019s Great Movie Escape.\u201d Choose from the \u201cJurassic World\u201d or \u201cBack to the Future\u201d films. Or do both. Navigate your way out using high technology and movie clues. \u00a0Be a part of your favorite movies!<\/p>\n

At Universal Orlando Resort<\/a>, the \u201cBourne Stuntacular\u201d takes this 30-minute performance to a whole other level. A cutting-edge stunt show blends live-action, special effects, and virtual reality on a huge screen. Special effects like feeling the heat from fire scenes or getting sprayed with water adds to \u201cbeing in the moment.\u201d Don\u2019t miss it.<\/p>\n

Of course, the big draw remains the \u201cWizarding World of Harry Potter \u2013 Diagon Alley.\u201d Take the Hogwarts Express at the King\u2019s Cross Station to the Hogsmeade Station at Universal\u2019s Islands of Adventure. (You must have the Park-to-Park Admission 2-Park Pass or Annual Pass to go between the two.) Check out the people in capes milling around and heading towards the Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts multi-dimensional thrill ride.<\/p>\n

I recommend buying an Express Pass which gives you fast access to many of the rides and attractions. It\u2019ll save you a lot of time and allow you to enjoy more of the park.<\/p>\n

Soak in Orlando\u2019s First Beer Spa<\/strong><\/p>\n

Check out the only traditional European Beer Spa in the entire U.S. , My Beer Spa Orlando<\/a>. Imagine soaking in a thermal tub filled with foamy, moisturizing hop infusion made with the same ingredients as traditional beer.\u00a0 Then, indulge in their complimentary beer tower where you can try Central Florida\u2019s best local beers to round out the experience or relax in their straw beds, and saunas rooms.<\/p>\n

Go Wild at Safari Wilderness <\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"

The thing that\u2019s so great about exploring Safari Wilderness<\/strong><\/a> is all the ways you can do it. This 260-acre ranch is filled with Asian water buffalo, ring-tailed lemurs, llamas, zebras, pigs, ostriches, and other animals. Get up close and personal with the 40 different species (over 450 animals) in an open-air safari bus, ATV, riding on a camel, kayak or drive through in your own vehicle as you listen to an expert After feeding a camel, I discovered they were really soft, and kind of sweet.<\/p>\n

You can add-on feeding the lemurs or guinea pigs, and try a premium cheetah encounter. For a real treat, spend the night in one of their glamping tents in safari base camp. See the night full of stars. Wake up in this natural paradise with a warm cup of coffee in hand and welcome the day with a new perspective. Reservations must be made in advance online only at Safari Wilderness.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Stand Up at SeaWorld\u2019s \u201cPipeline, The Surf Coaster\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Stand up on the Pipeline at SeaWorld Orlando. Photo courtesy of SeaWorld Orlando.SeaWorld Orlando<\/a> is constantly trying to up their game with new thrill rides. This super-ride lets guests\u00a0ride standing up on the newest thrill coaster and feel like they\u2019re actually surfing. Feel the power of the ocean in a whole new way, making \u201cPipeline\u201d your next new obsession.<\/p>\n

Jump in SeaWorld Orlando\u2019s Aquatica water park<\/a> with the Reef Plunge. This new ride is designed to let you splash, twist and turn their way through more than 330 feet of clear tubing, all while moving past dolphins, leopard sharks, and other marine life.<\/p>\n

New Dining Options<\/strong><\/p>\n

My favorite place to hang out is the Promenade at Sunset Walk<\/a> in Margaritaville. There\u2019s so much to see, do and dine. Opening soon from Texas is Cowboy Chicken with slow-roasted rotisserie chicken, healthy sides, sandwiches and salads. I also love Ford\u2019s Garage for their great burgers and salads.<\/p>\n

Their new theme for the year, \u201cKissimmee; The Big, Bold Heart of Florida\u201d really captures the spirit of what visitors will find this year. Make your plans to hang out in Kissimmee<\/a> this year!<\/p>\n
