Universal’s Cabana Bay Beach Resort
Orlando, FL
(407) 503-4000
Your stay at one of Universal’s newer hotels will be reminiscent of another era with its colorful retro décor. With several on-site bars and restaurants, you can sip a frosty beverage at the bowling alley or beachy pool area. Then there are nightly movies as well as the Jack LaLanne fitness center to explore. With so many available activities, you will want to spend an inordinate amount of time at your AAA Three Diamond hotel, which may be a bonus if you come during the summer, Florida’s wet season.
Universal CityWalk®
Orlando, FL
(407) 363-8000
This entertainment complex, which connects
to the AAA GEM Rated Universal Orlando® Resort theme parks, also encompasses a number of interesting restaurants; picture burgers and sushi (“burgushi”) at The Cowfish Sushi Burger Bar. If you want to party late into the night,
bring your AAA card to buy a CityWalk® Party Pass. The pass allows unlimited access to
several nightlife hot spots, such as AAA Pick
Pat O’Brien’s, which mirrors the famous New Orleans landmark.
Victoria & Albert’s
Lake Buena Vista, FL
(407) 939-3862
Dress to impress at this AAA Five Diamond Restaurant – considered the best place to dine at Walt Disney World if not Central Florida. With only a few tables cocooned by walls draped in luxurious fabric, Victoria & Albert’s offers a fairytale ending
to any day and particularly on a special occasion. Allot at least four hours to savor either the seasonal seven-course menu or the more exotic 10-course chef’s tasting menu. At the end of the evening, you’ll get to bring home a loaf of sweet bread – a delicious memento from your evening.

ROAD TRIPPING? DON’T LEAVE HOME WITHOUT THESE TOOLS.
TOOLS
Vintage cars are not like daily drivers, and there’s no sense in pretending that they are. Something always needs to be fixed or, at a bare minimum, tightened.
