Orlando Florida is a vacationer’s paradise most notable for its Disney World resort. Orlando, Florida is chosen by most as one of the major entertainment Meccas of the world. Orlando sees more vacationers than any other amusement destination worldwide and the area’s famous amusement parks are a major draw. However, the parks are just part of what makes this area of Florida so attractive. Outstanding restaurants, world class sports teams and fantastic museums are also critical to the Orlando, FL experience.
While Disney World are not technically located in the city of Orlando proper, there is little question that Disney World is the region’s biggest tourist draw. Its actual location is in the city of Lake Buena Vista, and its the biggest asset of the Walt Disney franchise of worldwide amusement parks. Within its confines lie many of the largest, most well known icons of Disney itself: the Magic Kingdom, Cinderella’s Castle, Epcot, Animal Kingdom and a variety of other theme based attractions.
The Universal Studios theme park has been increasing in popularity since its opening and expansion. While there, vacationers enjoy many of the Hollywood studio’s most action packed and memorable. New for 2008 a Simpson’s attraction and last year’s addition Islands of Adventure opened a Harry Potter land! Universal is also home to the always memorable fun Wet ‘N Wild Water Park.
Close by is Gatorland, SeaWorld and Discovery Cove – for those who grow tired of the Mickey Mouse theme and are looking for more. For the adventurous, looking for some of the best roller coasters, then take the short shot to Tampa and visit the thrills and chills rides of Busch Gardens.
