Family Vacations Feature Orlando
A number of spring and summer TV specials featuring Vacations in Orlando will appear on The Travel Channel and Fine Living Network just completed shooting TV specials throughout Orlando for a series of travel features that will air this spring and summer.
Fine Living followed around three families on vacation – one with teenage children, one with young children, and a young couple with no children – on their action-packed Orlando vacations. The locations shot included: Boggy Creek Airboat Rides, SkyVenture, Winter Park, Ask Comedy Lab, Bay Hill Club & Lodge, Ritz-Carlton Grande Lakes, Hard Rock Hotel, Tike Island Volcano Golf on I-Drive, Fun Spot Action Park, WonderWorks, Arabian Nights, Discovery Cove®, SeaWorld® Orlando, Universal® Orlando, and Walt Disney World® Resort. The one-hour feature is scheduled to premiere on Saturday, March 22.
Two 60-second "Weekend Getaways" will air on Fine Living. One focuses on Orlando's "Other Parks" – Thornton Park, Lake Eola Park and the Harry P. Leu Gardens. The second segment highlighted outdoor activities including Wallaby Ranch Hang Gliding Park and the spectacular golf courses at Ginn Reunion Resort.
The Travel Channel's Samantha Brown was in town last week to shoot an episode of "Samantha Brown's Passports to Great Weekends." Samantha focused on the "Unexpected Orlando" by staying downtown at the Grand Bohemian Hotel, and then visiting the CityArts Factory, Johnson's Diner, as well as the Farmers Market and The Wine Room and Couture in Winter Park. Samantha couldn't resist ending her stay with a turn in the wind tunnel at SkyVenture. The show is expected to premiere in June or July.
