- It's vacation time, and we've got some fun ideas
for the whole family.
After all, there's always something to do
in Orlando, Florida.
- Thanks, Julie!
My family and I are so excited to be here in Orlando
where we are going to experience some one of a kind adventures.
Orlando is home to 13 theme parks and water adventure parks.
That's why it's known as the theme park capital
of the world, and it's also the number one destination
in the entire United States.
So come on, we're about to have lots of fun.
(upbeat music) - When Christina told me
we were coming to Orlando with the kids, I thought, the
kids are just gonna love it.
- Last year, more than 72 million people visited Orlando,
and today, we're going to do something very unique
to Orlando, and hop on an air boat.
(rock music) (motors roaring)
We're here at Wild Florida, hoping to see an aligator
or two, maybe some cool, unique birds.
There are tons of species that call the Florida
Everglades home, so let's go see
what we can find.
- You guys ready for this?
- Yeah!
- Let's do it!
(motor roaring) (rock music)
We are on an air boat in the headwaters
of the Central Florida Everglades.
That's a white heron.
Now, why do you think they have long legs?
- [Christine] To run fast?
- No, they're wading birds, they can walk in the water.
- What's he doing with his neck?
- [Captain] Out here, we see everything from alligators
to eagles and big wading birds like the white heron
and blue heron we just saw.
Pretty cool, huh?
- We had to check out the wildlife here.
They have a couple of albino alligators,
tons of other alligators that we'll get to feed,
we can take a selfie with a sloth,
otherwise known as a sloth-fee, feed the lemurs, check
out maybe some zebras, there is so much to see here.
(upbeat music) Oh my gosh, do you want
to feed the alligators?
- [Child] Yeah!
- Say cheese!
You're doing a good job feeding Luke.
(screaming) I love you.
(upbeat music) If you really want
to see Orlando, head up to Icon Orlando.
This is the tallest observation wheel on the east coast.
It's over 400 feet tall, and it weighs three million pounds.
Now, to give you an idea of how big that is,
imagine 300 school buses.
Pretty big.
(upbeat music) - [Colin] Look at them,
they're in swings!
Here, let's take a picture selfie.
(moderate music) (upbeat music)
- [Christine] Time for a bit of shopping,
and at the mall at Millennia and Orlando Premium Outlets,
I can shop til I drop.
So many great stores and boutiques.
All this shopping has made us hungry, so let's eat.
Okay, after all of that activity,
who is ready for some Italian?
(cheering) Okay, let's go!
(upbeat music) These are breadsticks.
You can have meat and cheese on it.
We're at Maria and Enzo's in Disney Springs,
one of five thousand restaurants around Orlando.
There are tons of spots around here,
some, owned by celebrity chefs, themed dining, international
and national brands.
Your taste buds are in for an adventure,
whether you are a foodie, a casual diner,
or somewhere in between.
So yeah, Justin, tell us a little bit
about some of the food you brought out.
- Of course.
These are some of our signature dishes, perfect for sharing.
Here we have our trio, which is 24 month aged
prosciutto di parma.
Our new york stip taolol, with an arugula salad next to it.
And there's our toro, our tuna steak,
with our green bean and tomato agrodolce.
- I feel like looking around, it's like we're in an airport.
- Absolutely, this was the old air terminal
at Disney Springs.
We're very very casual here, laid back for the Disney guest,
but we do take our steps of service very seriously,
so it's kind of like white glove service,
without the white glove.
- Grazie Justin.
- Prego senora, buon appetito, enjoy your meal.
(Christine laughs) - [Christine] Are those good?
Yummy.
- Yummy.
(relaxing music) - It's a tropical paradise here
at Buena Vista Water Sports.
And we're about to head out to the beautiful
Lake Bryan, for some eco adventures.
Alright kids, safety first, we got out life jackets on.
We are ready to go.
We're gonna be super strong after this.
- One of the exciting things on this trip for me,
has been Buena Vista Water Sports.
We've got to go on jet skis, to kayaks.
You can spend a whole day here, it's a lot of fun.
(rock music) - One thing you
cannot forget to do, is relax.
And there is no better place to do that,
then here at the Hyatt Regency Grand Cyprus.
Look at this legendary lagoon style pool.
And there are tons of other over the top pools,
with kids activities and awesome water slides
for your family to enjoy.
Just like mine are.
They're like little fish.
(upbeat music) I think the kids had a lot
of fun, and they behaved, which is always a good thing.
(kids laughing) We had such a great
time and made memories that will last forever.
If you're ready to join the fun, make sure to visit
visitorlando.com or our website, TheBalancingAct.com.
We will be back soon Orlando.
You wanna go in the pool again?
- Yeah.
