Walt Disney World Resort
One of the world’s great theme parks: a simply unbelievable choice of attractions, rides and incredible thrills. A holiday in Disney World is simply unique: a brilliantly conceived, magical fantasy world that often delights the adults as much as the children! A single day is nowhere near long enough to fully enjoy Magic Kingdom Park with its famous Cinderella Castle, the wonderfully entertaining Disney-MGM Studios, the amazing technological marvels of Epcot, Disney’s fascinating Animal Kingdom Theme Park, and the fun-filled Disney Water Parks. Walt Disney World Resort also has excellent shopping, incredible theme restaurants, and non-stop family entertainment and nightlife at Pleasure Island and Downtown Disney.

Universal Orlando Resort
If theme parks are really your thing then head off to Orlando’s other famous destination and compare notes. Universal is equally extraordinary, and features some of the world’s most innovative, up-to-date attractions. Tremendously exciting thrills on the Islands of Adventure, which feature The Lost Continent, Jurassic Park, Toon Lagoon and Marvel Superhero Island. Universal Studios is a massively popular homage to the movies. Like Disney World, a holiday in Universal Orlando Resort delivers far more than rides and thrills. Universal also offers an incredible choice of non-stop family entertainment and theme restaurants, and fun, wholesome nightlife on Universal City Walk.

Other Orlando attractions
There are an astounding amount of quality family attractions in the Orlando area aside from the Disney and Universal theme parks. Amongst the most popular are Seaworld Orlando, Cirque du Soleil, Discovery Cove, Jungleland Zoo, Medieval Times, Gatorland, Old Town and Splendid China. New attractions are constantly being added as technology and fashions change. To cool down there is nothing better than Orlando’s fabulous Water Parks like Wet `n Wild.

Wildlife & Sport
Disney World holidays are ideally placed for all the nature reserves, wildlife parks and well-organised outdoor sports and activities that make Florida holidays such a hit with active families. Top Orlando things to do include exciting boat trips in exotic local swamps, rodeos, alligator spotting, horse riding and watersports. Keen golfers will be tempted by Florida’s famous golf courses. American spectator sports like baseball and football are a good way to observe American culture.

The Florida coast
Along with the rest of Florida, Walt Disney World enjoys plenty of warm sub-tropical sunshine. A trip to the Florida coast becomes a very tempting prospect, particularly in the heat of the summer. Disney World offers plenty of excursions to the superb white sandy beaches of the Space Coast and the Gulf Coast. The former features the Kennedy Space Centre at Cape Canaveral. Another popular longer excursion is the remarkable African theme park in Tampa.
