Parks & Nature

Right off a busy main road (192) is this idyllic park where you can rent kayaks or take a boat tour. The current is strong so I suggest you paddle upstream first and then you'll only have steer on the way down. Shingle Creek is quite long and if you're an experienced kayaker you can go all the way to Lake Toho to the south (with the current and have to paddle upstream on the way back) or up near Disney to the north (against the current and have minimal paddling on the way back).

There are many highly regarded airboat rides around, but this is one we've been on so we can vouch for it. The captains are very knowledgeable and can point out alligators, snails, birds, plants, etc.

Entertainment & Activities

There is a great show and don't be surprised if the staff is rude--it's on purpose and you can dish it right back to them. The buffet is passable, but the entertainment is very good. We went twice, the first time just the two of us and the second time there were five of us and we had a much better time with our own group. The more the merrier!

New attractions have opened and more are planned for next year. There's still plenty to see and do. There are restaurants, but some are pricy. We've been happy at the NBC Commissary. If you want to splurge though, go to Hollywood & Vine for an incredible buffet.
