Being one of the world's foremost centers of auto racing, Central
Florida has been a haven for race fans since the turn of the
century. The home of the Daytona 500 and numerous other NASCAR,
Indy, truck, motorcycle and dirt bike races, the area plays
host to hundreds of thousands of fans each year. Racing action
takes place, among other places, at the Daytona International
Speedway at Daytona Beach, the USA Speedway at Lakeland, and
the Walt Disney World Speedway at Lake Buena Vista.
Recently, Central Florida's auto racing community has been
reaching out to tourists in new ways. Expanding their horizons, Central Florida's
speedways are opening their doors to amateur racers who want to experience firsthand the
thrills of high-speed racing.
Spurred on by the involvement of national racing stars such as
Richard Petty, "The King of Stock Car Racing," speedways have been incorporating
"Racing Schools" into their repertoires over the past couple of years. A world
away from the generic speedway tour of old, these schools offer an array of experiences
for the enthusiast. Fans can add a variety of race-themed experiences to their Central
Florida vacation agenda -- from racing the Daytona Speedway with stock car trainers to
taking a full-fledged training course on how to be a professional driver

Oct. 1,
1971, Opening Day, got off to a shaky start. Tomorrowland
was completely closed off, with only some of the
rides in the other "lands." Attendance
was recorded at 10,000 (well-below projected estimates),
and Wall Street went into a panic. But it only took
a few days to regain the market's (and the nation's)
confidence. Visitors started pouring into the park
by the hundreds of thousands that first year, and
the numbers have grown ever since. Disney World! |

So what
exactly is Epcot? Think of it as a kind of permanent world's
fair and interactive science museum spread across
a sprawling tract of land broken up into pavilions.
Roller-coaster fans, take note: with a few exceptions,
the park is low on high-speed thrills. Instead,
guests will find a mixture of educational attractions,
cultural entertainment, shops and restaurants. |

Harry P. Lue Gardens - miles of paved scenic walkways
that take you through garden settings, including
the largest Camellia Collection and formal Rose
Garden in the South. A house museum dating from
the 1880's. Rose garden, herb garden, butterfly
garden, palm garden, bamboo garden. |

It has been
that way since the beginning, when Taylor's mother,
Lillie Johnson, first
ladled up her first batch of collard greens in 1983.
The owner and founder, Johnson is temporarily out
of the kitchen recovering from a recent surgery.
She still comes in occasionally to make sure things
are running smoothly. But, as its diners know, Taylor
maintains her mother's high standards for the down-home
food. |

MGM/Disney Studios where you can see the Residential
street where you may recognize some of the tv and
movie homes. You may not recognize them, either,
but that's okay because, all trip long, your tram
driver will tell you more than you could possibly
remember. |

Billed as
"The World's Most Famous Beach," Daytona Beach
proper plays host to millions of tourists each year
without any promotion, and draws huge crowds for
special events like Spring Break, Bike Week and
the Daytona 500. One of the most popular features
of Daytona Beach is the 18-mile stretch where visitors
can drive right onto the beach. |

The Orlando Magic joined the NBA for the 1989-90 season.
The franchise had only a brief period of adjustment
before establishing itself as a contender. With
the drafting of center Shaquille O'Neal in 1992,
the Magic became instantly competitive and one of
the league's most popular teams. |
