Beautiful Chapel, beautiful services. They do hit you hard for donations explaining that they do not have a congregation to lean upon. They pass the plate like 3 times per service trying to guilt you into giving them more money. That part is kinda gross. but their Holiday services are very good!

We happened upon this gem when looking for somewhere close to Disney World to attend Sunday Mass. This church is not a regular parish. It was actually built by the generosity of tourists. The stained glass windows are absolutely beautiful, especially in the little chapel in the back of the church. The window behind the chapel altar is cobalt blue glass with little clear stars throughout. I love to sit in this chapel to pray. I love going to Mass here and look forward to going each time we are in Orlando.

Beautiful church! Beautiful history! Your catholic home away from home!!! I love visiting here and going to Mass with all the other tourists! Amazing choir too!!! A must see!!!

This place is really beautiful and makes everybody feel welcomed !!! Great place to have a picnic in the Rosary Garden during cool fall and winter months. Most beautiful display of roses for Mother's Day and Christmas is gorgeous!!! They have a very nice gift shop with a museum. It's also a nice relationship that they have with Disney and where tourist and locals worship together. Take pictures here!!

The Shrine is so impressive and inspiring. To see so many arriving for Mass was wonderful. Although it is right next to a busy highway, it is peaceful and quiet inside. It was just an amazing place to visit and we would recommend it to all.

Going to the Shrine is tortuous for my family. From the incessant begging for money and the overly casual priests with their banal homilies, to the awful music, my family and I would rather accept the penance assigned to us for missing Mass than attend Mass at the Shrine.

The Shrine of Mary, Queen of the Universe is not a parish in itself. It seems to have been built specifically for tourists, which is a great idea. Although we live just north of Orlando, my wide and I found ourselves here. It is right next to the large outlet mall at Lake Buena Vista. If you have been there, you will know how difficult it is to get parking. So, whilst it might not be the best. Reason to go to mass, why not get to the mall at 10:00, pick any parking spot you like, shop a little and then walk to the Shrine for 11:30 mass. You will need to be there a little early as when we went in a Sunday morning, it was packed, even though it holds 2,000. The priest is from Ireland and has an easy manner. He starts by asking where people are from and they are from all corners. The choir is fantastic. Anither reviewer said they were Disney quality, and I agree. I would put them on a par with the Voices of Liberty.The gift shop is wonderful, it has a huge array of statues of varying sizes, pictures and a lot more. There is a small museum and the grounds are fairly large. We didn't walk around them but there is an outdoor stations of the cross. As with other Catholic Churches, you do not need to be catholic to go in or attend mass. It is well worth a visit and a great place to get away from the Disney madness. The adoration chapel is directly behind the alter and is open all day every day. I don't believe any other church can lay claim to that.

As a cathedral, this is one church you must go to. Very tradition, beautiful garden, grab a noon service if you can great side stop

Beautiful church with wonderful altars on either side for silent prayers and worship--wonderful. Greeters make you feel very welcome. Parking is a little tight at the busier masses.

This is a lovely cathedral in Orlando. I was told by my Mears cab driver it sits on property donated by Disney. It is not a part of a parish. It relies on donations by Orlando visitors. The pastor was born in Ireland and a delightful speaker. He does ask, several times, for visitors to donate as much as they can. I miss going to Mass at Disney's Polynesian Hotel. It was more about going to Sunday Mass and less about tourism!
