Pointe Orlando & IMAX Cinema:

Pointe Orlando is a big hit for cinema goers in Orlando, with the popular IMAX experience available on varying blockbuster films. In an IMAX theatre, the projected images are extended to create the illusion that the screen’s boundaries have disappeared and the viewer has a more ‘immersive’ experience of the film.  Pointe Orlando is located at 9101 International Drive – opposite the Orange County Convention Center. Again you’ll find diverse dining, specialty shopping and entertainment here. You will have to pay for parking, but you can get your ticket validated at the cinema.

For those with a sweet tooth who like to indulge every once in a while, we urge you to head on over to the legendary Cheesecake Factory for a real treat. Located at The Mall at Millenia (lower level close to the Main Entrance).

The vintage ‘Original’ cheesecake, proudly quoted as the ‘one that started it all’ is an infamous creamy cheesecake with a cracker crust and sour cream topping – is simple but delicious! We think you’ll take some time to read through the menu and with over 20 varieties to try you will feel very spoilt for choice. How about the ‘Ultimate Red Velvet Cake’ cheesecake, the ‘Chocolate Tuxedo Cream’ cheesecake or the fruity ‘Dutch Apple Caramel Streusel’? If cheesecake is not your preference – you could try the ‘Black-out cake’ which is their deepest, richest chocolate cake with choc chips! These decadent deserts are a real treat not to be missed while you rest your tired legs from wandering round the designer and well known chain stores at The Mall at Millenia. It’s even worth a trip in its own right! Aswell as sweet delights – the Cheesecake Factory offer an extensive menu of mouthwatering appetisers, specialty pizzas, pastas, seafoods and salads – not forgetting the ‘glamburgers’! Yum yum…Be warned, portion size is on the generous side, so maybe go with an elasticated waistband!

The Cheesecake Factory is located in The Mall at Millenia which is just off Interstate 4 at exit 78 (Conroy Rd) and only about 30 minutes from most of the Florida holiday villas we have to rent.

Opening times are Mon-Thurs 11am-11pm, Fri-Sat 11am-12:30am & Sun 10am -11pm. You’ll find self parking readily available – closest is Parking Lot A.  Table reservations can be made Monday – Friday, call (407) 226-0333.
