Came here for Christmas. Beautiful church. A bit simple by cathedral standards, but beautiful nonetheless. Nice pipe organ. The ceiling painting above the altar will capture your attention. I attended the early mass, and it was not crowded. Came again on January 1st...again the 7:30am mass was not crowded. Tip: If you are coming on Sunday, there is free parking available directly across the street from the front entrance. Apparently they have a gift shop on site. I will need to come back to check it out sometime.

I truly enjoyed the presentation of The Singing Christmas Trees, an annual event at First Baptist Orlando that showcases the true meaning of Christmas within a story and includes classic Christmas songs with a full orchestra and choir. It's quite a production and I can certainly see why it's an annual holiday tradition for many families. Before the performance we visited the petting zoo and live Nativity outside. There are different ticket options, including a dinner package. We opted to just see the show.

"Disney's BoardWalk area contains more than 90,000 square feet of shops, restaurants and nightclubs. It encompasses Crescent Lake and is ""a village on the water"" near many Disney Resort hotels in Walt Disney World Resort. This quarter-mile entertainment, dining and shopping area is also conveniently close to 2 Disney Theme Parks.With sherbet-colored building facades, striped awnings, rising columns and archways, Disney's BoardWalk is designed after the boardwalks that were famous during the turn of the 20th century along such coastal cities as Coney Island, New York and Atlantic City, New Jersey.Stroll along Disney's BoardWalk during the day to explore the unusual shops and restaurants. When the sun cools down, the nightlife heats up with street performers, food vendors, midway games and lots of live entertainment.

In November - December 2018 I visited the Disney Boardwalk and was amazed. What an experience. The water way features, the light house, do you know that there are live ducks on the dock? Special features include a fabulous light show, boat rides, the Boardwalk bakery, gift shop, The ESPN Club, and more.

Built by tourists, for tourists, this Roman Catholic Church was built in the 1980's to accommodate the 30+ million visitors to the Central Florida attractions yearly. The Basilica is not a regular parish church, but a tourist ministry that sits on 17 acres and offers a Rosary Garden, multiple Chapels, Museum, Pilgrimage Center, Gift Shop, bronze statues, oil paintings and art from the 16th century as well as amazing stained glass including a Rose window, Universe window, Rosary windows and The Magnificat windows.

The first sight I see when I visit is an impressive statue of St. Michael, followed by a massive bridge, leading to the church. The water on both sides is soothing, and ducks are frequent visitors. I am also always on the lookout for the resident turtles. Before entering the church, I often wander through the Rosary Garden or pray in the outdoor chapel. Within the Basilica, everyone who works there has always been friendly and helpful, and they have always gone above and beyond when staging an event. I love attending Mass in the huge and stunningly beautiful church which now boasts a grand pipe organ. I never get tired of the stained glass windows and the atmosphere. Backing up, Mass is sometimes held in a sweet, little chapel at the front of the church, just off the foyer. In the same said chapel, there is a special area where you can spend time with our Blessed Mother. If you just want to quietly worship and adore Jesus Christ without any distractions, you can spend all day or just minutes with his presence in the Adoration Chapel, located at the back of the church. Other pluses for me are a priest on duty all day for confession and blessings, and daily Mass at 12:05pm. If you are into shopping, there is a large gift shop next to the church. I can't stay away. I frequently buy books, but they have rosaries, chapel veils, statues, fonts, CDs, jewelry, games, wall crucifixes and much, much more. Did I mention the children's section in the shop?
