Green is the New Black
For eco-fashionistas, the green selection is more fashionable and abundant than it was several years ago. Green clothing boutiques in Florida illustrate that their goods – from a beautiful recycled vintage material dress or an organic blouse to bamboo skirts or hemp jeans – fit a green way of life.

Monster Holes
The main bugaboo is disgustingly obvious: The entire left side of the hole abuts a huge, bass-filled lake that cuts into half of the fairway where drives normally land.

A Not-So-Wintery Wonderland
My friends and family up north wonder how it can feel like the holidays if you’re not wearing 70 pounds of clothing and scraping ice off a car windshield. After 25 years in Florida, I wonder how you can feel at all in a wind chill of -50 degrees.

Central Florida Overview
A vivid contrast to the hustle and bustle of the state’s larger cities, Central Florida is home to small, quaint towns including Mount Dora, Arcadia and Dunnellon, perfect for lazy evening strolls and shopping excursions.

Classic Florida Rides
The Haunted Mansion has been there since before opening day. Because parts for the Florida ride were built alongside the Disneyland original, the attraction was ready six months before the rest of the park.

Water World
If you'll pardon the pun, there's something totally cool about a Florida water park that's designed to look like a ski resort.

City Profile: Orlando/Kissimmee-St. Cloud
Experience the bustling marketplace of Port of Entry, battles between good and evil on Marvel Super Hero Island, slapstick ruckuses at Toon Lagoon, prehistoric megalosaurs in Jurassic Park, mythical sorcerers on the Lost Continent, and fanciful revelry at Seuss Landing.

City Profile: Lake Buena Vista
As soon as you arrive at Lake Buena Vista, you'll have no doubt you're in the heart of the world's playground - the opportunities for enjoyment are endless.

Guilt-free Golf
There's nothing better for the banishment of golf guilt than returning after a day on the links to find happy, healthy and slightly tired kids.

Kinder-Kind Resorts
Plays, beach walks, water balloon soccer, language-learning and scavenger hunts are among the activities incorporated into kid-appealing theme days such as Natural Wonders, Wet 'N' Wild, Messy Mania and Space Day.

Orlando/Kissimmee Area
The propensity for over-the-top entertainment has infected the environs with a love for fun, faux, goofy and imagination.

Theme Park Tips
Do the most popular rides early in the morning, moving to the back of the park first. Use peak times in the early afternoon for eating, shopping and shows. Ride lines often slack off toward late afternoon, so save the big attractions you missed in the morning for later.

Florida's Water Parks
When your child's essay entitled "What I Did On Summer Vacation" includes swimming with sharks (albeit docile nurse sharks), his status may rise instantly with classmates.
