Elvis at Old Town

[Guest]

Hi I haven't been to Orlando for 10yrs or so and was wondering in the Elvis Museum is still around at Old Town? It used to have a a few of cars inside including 'Herbie' the car from the film The Love Bug.

Have never noticed it and we spend a lot of evenings at Old Town when we are over there.[been going since 2000]

It seems from the map it is long gone. Strange as it was so busy. It was in the first block on the map which is now split into 3 bars. Its a shame it had lots of Elvis stuff including the cars.

Just remembered it was about 1988/89 when I visited this place. I guess with the ever changing attractions it was less popular with time.

There's Elvis memorabilia at The Hard Rock Vault at Point Orlando... well worth a visit.

I think the place you are thinking of was moved to International Drive. I haven't been to it myself but at one time it was quite large. The Vault is a GREAT tour and if you are a music fan you shouldn't miss it. However the Elvis museum is on it's own in.

Good luck!

Changing tack a little but, if you are interested in Elvis, last time we were in Orlando there was an impersonator who is supposed to be the No1 Elvis impersonator appearing on IDrive, forgot where but his name was Jack Smink. Apparently he is supposed to be America's finest. Didn't see him last time but If he is appearing again I would like to go and see him after reading about him on his web site.

I love Old Town. Last time we were in Orlando we stayed in the Days Inn Suites so we could walk over to Old Town any time. We're staying in I-Drive this time, but we will be spending at least a couple of evening there.

Hi UKlad23,
As stated by Jaime H. below, if you liked Elvis, I suggest you see the Memories of Elvis Tribute Show featuring Jack Smink. His shows are Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings at the Econo Lodge Main Gate Resort on Highway 192 West in Kissimmee (407/396-2000). He has traveled to England at least 6 times since April of 2003. He has done a few shows at the Irish Center in the Manchester/Leeds area and at various other venues in England. While in England in April of this year, he recorded a remix of the song "Little Sister" that was being played on many of the Magic Radio Stations. I hope you will stop by and come to one of his shows.
Thanks
