Excellent and professional training. I've been hearing so many good reviews about this training…read morecenter and know some people trained here and now flying internationally. I have zero experience in flying but I want to have some new skill and decided to have training there. Clear and structured training program. The instructors were very professional, experienced, and skillful. Make sure every students are well-guided both flying skills and safety procedure before moving forward. They guide me step by step through the entire process. Great quality of experience instructors, quality aircraft, and modern training methods, and strong support allows me to complete all flight training needs in one place.

I strongly advise anyone considering AeroStar to think twice before trusting this company…read more After my visa application was refused, I requested a refund under the policy that applied when I enrolled. AeroStar initially tried to deny it by applying new rules introduced after my enrollment. Only after a long email exchange did they finally approve the refund. However, the refund was still not processed. After I posted honest reviews about my experience, AeroStar contacted me and asked me to remove them, assuring me that the refund would finally be released. Acting in good faith, I removed the reviews immediately. I was then told that the refund had already been processed and would appear in my account within 3-5 business days. It never arrived. Weeks turned into months. When I requested proof of payment, none was provided. Instead, I was referred to the bookkeeping department, which never gave any explanation or response. More than six months have now passed, and I still have not received my refund. I am attaching screenshots of the email correspondence, including: 1. The original refund policy. 2. The attempt to deny my refund using new rules. 3. The final refund approval. 4. AeroStar's request to remove my reviews before releasing the refund. 5. Their confirmation that the refund had already been processed. 6. My follow-up after another two weeks with no payment. 7. The final email exchange, where no proof of payment or meaningful explanation was ever provided. The screenshots include the original dates and my real name. Everything described above is supported by the attached emails. Please read them and draw your own conclusions. In my opinion, AeroStar kept money that they had both a contractual obligation and a written commitment to refund. After more than six months of broken promises, I can only describe my experience as being scammed.

The kids and I celebrated my birthday with a hot air balloon ride with Aerostat. We had a great…read moretime! This was our first experience with ballooning and we didn't know what to expect, but Ellen and Gene were super helpful in walking us through the process, and thoroughly answering all of our (well, mainly me..) questions. The flight was very smooth from take-off to landing! Gene did a great job piloting the balloon and Ellen flawlessly provided ground crew support. Unlike the aerial views from an airplane, where it's difficult to see the details of terrain because of the higher altitude, the aerial views from the hot air balloon were very clear and distinguishable. We flew over the Champion's Gate area and the flight lasted about 50 minutes. I brought my DSLR camera, but an modern mobile phone camera would work just as well. Although, at that height, I wish I had a neck strap for my iPhone.. Couple of other things from memory to share: - Our ride started at 6:15 am, which was really cool because we got to watch the sunrise in the balloon - At the altitude we were flying at (~400 ft), it was not cold in the gondola (balloon basket) as I initially expected. It was actually somewhat hot - because when the pilot triggers the propane burner to heat the air, the hot air radiates in all directions - including heating the air above the basket. - We had very calm winds, so the balloon was moving between 5-10 mph. I didn't initially know what speed to expect, but the slower speed made for a very smooth ride. - Ballooning is a regulated industry, so operators must perform annual inspections on their equipment. I felt safe the entire time. - Gene has over 9 yrs experience as a balloon pilot so he's well-trained. I was thoroughly impressed by how smooth the landing was. - You meet up the Aerostat crew at a predetermined location, and they take you in a van to the launch site and they drive you back. - At the end of the flight, they provide you with champagne, orange juice, and some cookies as a token of appreciation for flying with them. I would definitely fly with Aerostat in the future.

We took a sunrise ride with Glenn and his team this past weekend. The staff went above and beyond…read moreto make our experience memorable. They are extremely well trained and know what they are doing. The ride smooth and the view was amazing-- it was truly a once in a lifetime experience. They even had mimosas and snacks waiting for us when we landed. Would definitely recommend.

The sound track to the, almost, 2 hour show was heavy on Dubstep and some of the artists represented are Bassnectar, Magnetic Man, Taio Cruz and Skrillex. Now for the not so positive... The AntiGravity Orlando is being housed in the old Movie Rider building off of 1-92. The facade of the building is dark and when we walked up, we weren't even sure they were actually open. There was no clear box office or person manning the booth and although we were welcomed by a gentleman, I wasn't sure if he were associated with the theatre or just an inebriated patron. There is a cash bar area over to the left of the theatre serving beer, wine and a few cocktails. Also available are 4 types of hot hors d'oeuvres for around the $4. mark each. I found out that the bar and food is catered by Houlihan's. The smell of the hors d'oeuvres was really cloying as the evening progressed and by mid show I was wishing for the smell to disappear. The show's acts of "anti-gravity" are woven together with a schmaltzy story and narrator. I do not blame the actor, but the script itself made the boyfriend and I roll our eyes and wish for the mic system to fail. It was a "clean" show, however several comments were made to audience members that were out of line. The theatre itself is too small to house the performers and to really see what they were doing I had to crane my neck. There is really no good seat in the house. The surroundings feel grimy, mirrors are cracked and low lighting just adds to the derelict feel. Although I can tell what the designer was aiming for, it just feels poorly executed. Full priced tickets are right at the $40 dollar mark for adults and $25 for children. Thankfully, we were invited to see the show free of charge, as to have been out of pocket for $80 bucks would have been upsetting. If you've never seen aerial acrobatics anywhere else, and you will never be able to see one of the other large and well known troupes, then by all means see this show. Just be prepared for a slightly grungier experience than you were expecting, and I wouldn't buy tickets for too far in the future.

The signs within the Gaylord were not entirely clear and I had to walk around the resort for a while before arriving at the fitness center. There were many machines within the space that you would find at a typical gym with treadmills, stationary bicycles, upper and lower body machines, as well as free weights. I was able to complete my full workout without having to find alternative exercises and it wasn't crowded when I visited mid-day. I would definitely consider this fitness center to be one of the best in a hotel setting.

The spa manager, Teresa was wonderful, she greeted us with champagne and showed us all the spa had to offer, including the gym, lockers, sauna/steam room, showers and my favorite, the relaxation room. The spa is clean and smells great. Our entire party opted for massages. We were shown to our lockers where we changed into soft robes and slippers and got a chance talk and hang out with our co-workers before and after our massages. Everything was timely and the staff was very professional and helpful. We enjoyed infused water, teas, and champagne the entire time. With the spa service, we could also enjoy the pool for the day. Unfortunately the temps were too cold to enjoy the pool, but we had an amazing day at the spa and plan to do it again soon.

Wat Florida Dhammaram - Thai Food, Buddhist Monks, and the Ultimate Test of Inner Peace!…read more If you've ever wanted to visit Thailand without spending 20 hours on an airplane, Wat Florida Dhammaram offers a pretty convincing alternative. You get close to authentic Thai food, a beautiful Buddhist temple, actual monks, and enough people standing in line to make Disney World look like a private country club. I attended the Taste of Thai Food Festival on October 18, and I can confidently say this place is suffering from a serious case of its own success. Apparently, somebody told the entire state of Florida that you could eat authentic Thai food for $20, and everybody decided to show up at the same time. Let's start with the good news: THE PRICE! Admission was just $20 per adult and $10 for children under 12. CASH ONLY! Food samples from the various stations were included in the price. That's right, $20 to sample a variety of Thai dishes without being financially assaulted every time you pick up another plate. In today's economy, where a hamburger, fries, and a soft drink can practically require financing, this is an outstanding deal. THE FOOD? VERY GOOD! Authentic Thai dishes, plenty of variety, and an opportunity to experience flavors that go well beyond your neighborhood takeout menu. The temple itself is beautiful, with traditional Thai architecture, Buddhist monks, and surroundings that genuinely transport you to Thailand. For a moment, you almost forget you're in Central Florida. Then you look at the lines. AND NOW, THE NOT-SO-ENLIGHTENING PART. Holy Buddha, the crowds! I've seen shorter lines at airport security during Thanksgiving. Parking was practically a competitive sport. You circle the lot, spot an opening, accelerate toward it, and discover that three other drivers have apparently been praying for the exact same parking space. By the time you finally park, you've already completed the first stage of your spiritual journey: suffering. Then comes the second stage: the food lines. Some of those lines were so long I began wondering whether the people at the front were ordering food or applying for Thai citizenship. And remember, this is a Buddhist temple, a place dedicated to peace, patience, and enlightenment. Which is fortunate, because you're going to need all three! A FEW SURVIVAL TIPS FROM SOMEONE WHO LIVED TO TELL THE STORY: 1. ARRIVE EARLY. Not Florida early, where you leave the house whenever you feel like it. I mean genuinely early, preferably before the other 10,000 people have the same brilliant idea. 2. BRING CASH. Twenty dollars for adults, ten for children under 12. No cash? Congratulations, you've just driven all that way to admire the architecture. 3. BRING A CARDBOARD BOX OR LARGE TRAY. I'm serious. This is probably the most important advice I can offer. With multiple food stations and all those delicious samples, you'll need something to carry your containers. Otherwise, you'll be balancing noodles, curry, rice, and desserts like a circus performer, all while trying not to spill lunch on the person who's been standing in line for 45 minutes. 4. WEAR COMFORTABLE SHOES. Forget your step-counting goals. You'll accomplish them here before your second serving. 5. BRING PATIENCE. LOTS OF IT. If you're the type who gets irritated waiting three minutes for a microwave, this event may not be your spiritual calling. I'm told these food festivals are held monthly, and judging by the attendance, they're not exactly struggling to attract customers. Quite the opposite. The organizers have created something genuinely special, but the parking situation and crowd management could use some serious attention. Perhaps a better system for managing food lines, more organized parking, and improved traffic flow would help. Because while Buddhism teaches us that desire leads to suffering, I'm fairly certain the Buddha wasn't referring to standing in line for Pad Thai. SO, WAS IT WORTH IT? Absolutely! For $20, you're getting close to authentic Thai food, a wonderful cultural experience, beautiful temple grounds, and a chance to appreciate Thai traditions without purchasing an international airline ticket. The food was very good, the atmosphere was authentic, and the value was excellent. The only real drawback is that apparently everyone else knows it. WOULD I GO BACK? Without hesitation. But next time I'm arriving early, bringing cash, comfortable shoes, a cardboard box, and possibly hiring someone from Disney who specializes in crowd control. FIVE STARS for the food, the culture, the temple, and the incredible value. As for the parking and the lines? Let's just say that by the time you finally reach the food, you may have achieved a level of patience that takes Buddhist monks years of meditation to master. Khob Knun Ka/Khrap... Now please pass the Pad Thai before I reach my next reincarnation.

Thailand Food Festival AYCE for 2026…read more My first time attending this event for $20 adult fee to enter festival and all you can eat from variety of food booths. Children age 6 and above is $10. Located in Old Vineland in Kissimmee Florida. The area is not a bad area - the parking may be a challenged but for today's event the parking was spread out from the temple so some may had to walk a mile or so to enter the temple. I think some residential homes were charging a parking fee to park at their driveway etc. We got there early than food service time. Foods were being served at 11am but you can come in early before that. There were i think close to 30 food tent stands and 6 plant stand,1 toy stand and 1 Thai attire stand. Drinks are NOT included that is a separate fee for drinks. Drinks were sodas, water, Thai coffee / tea, Longan juice, Juices - Some were priced from $1 - $5. So these are sample sizes of foods except the soups, You get a good amount of soup. The desserts were counted as much as 2-3 dessert choices per wristband if the tent has variety of desserts. The desserts were my favorite. The meats serves most were dry. The soups were ok, Not super hot but warm enough. Let's talk about the lines - They were a hot mess. They had no coordination on per tent one line flow. It was just a long line to capture the tents on the row. They need to organize it better next year because I heard this year was very packed of patrons than last year. They need to make each tent a line. Not a long line for the section of the tents. That is where people took too long to eat the foods. They were too busy staying in line where it seem the line didn't even move. This festival is from 11-230pm so by 12-1pm the foods are pretty much sold out. They had stations to provide / napkins and utensils. Trash pickup was ok - some were overfilled. They needed more staff to provide doing the trash areas. Some paid a wristband didn't even eat due to long wait on lines. That is not fair IMO. They need to have a staff per tent designate a 1 line PER TENT. This would been faster to serve the people. Some tents were cooking fresh and that took too long for lines to move. The food stands should avoid cooking fresh like that especially for an event like this. For $20 though the AYCE idea is not bad its just waiting in line that was bothering. Also - The bathrooms. Patrons had to REMOVE SHOES TO ENTER BATHROOMS. that is disgusting to use socks/barefoot to walk on bathroom floors which may be wet/dirty from urine etc. This rule is disgusting but I understand the rule behind it. Otherwise - This even had a beautiful weather - it was breezy and not hot. Bring your Tumblers for water / drinks to save $ on buying drinks. Lots of people brought in their own tables/chairs - coolers and "trays' to hold their samples of foods.
