The Orlando area has so much to see and do. Our area guide will help you find activities for your family to do while on your vacation.
THEME PARKS
The Kissimmee area has many theme parks that attract visitors from all over the world.
The 4 parks that comprise Disney are The Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Animal Kingdom and Hollywood Studios. Each one has a magic of its own, but be sure to see the fireworks display over the castle at the Magic Kingdom, as this is truly spectacular! For an extra splash of excitement, be sure to visit Disney’s water parks: Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon.
Universal Studios Florida consists of three parks: Universal Studios Florida, Universal Islands of Adventure and Volcano Bay. All of these parks are excellent for all ages. Nothing captures the imagination more than The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Be sure to hop on the Hogwarts Express!
SeaWorld is another theme park that is both a marine animal aquarium and an amusement park. See dolphin shows, feed the stingrays, or take a ride on Mako- the newest, tallest, fastest and longest roller coaster in Orlando.
