Kissimmee Holidays
A relaxed base for Walt Disney World Resort
Kissimmee is a relaxed easy-going base from which to enjoy the amazing attractions of Orlando, Florida. Holidays here are based in an attractive and relatively peaceful area, 10 miles south of International Drive and just 15 miles from Orlando airport. Kissimmee is especially popular with families and proves a hit with children of all ages, being ideally placed for visiting Walt Disney World Resort. The 20 mile main street running to Disney World Resort passes attractions like Water Mania, Medieval Times, Jungleland Zoo, Old Town and Splendid China. Water Mania, a 36-acre water park which is in Kissimmee itself, is a special feature of any holiday based in this area. Kissimmee should appeal to those looking for a pleasant well-landscaped and relatively “real” resort within the fantasy world of Orlando, with plenty of trees, lakes and rivers.
A vast array of famous Florida attractions
Kissimmee offers visitors excellent accommodation and features extraordinary themed restaurants and nightlife offering everything from Arabian nights to medieval feasts. There is also superb shopping in the Old Town, a recreation of classic small town America. But obviously most people choose Kissimmee for the big name theme parks, Walt Disney World Resort and Universal Orlando Resort. Disney now has four theme parks covering around 30000 acres. Visitors can select trips to the Magic Kingdom, Epcot, MGM Studios and Animal Kingdom. You could also take in Seaworld Orlando and Wet `n Wild Orlando, but most holidays are simply not long enough to take full advantage of the other myriad attractions in the region like Cirque du Soleil, Discovery Cove and Gatorland, not to mention tempting excursions to the amazing African theme park in Tampa and the Kennedy Space Centre at Cape Canaveral!
More than just theme parks!
Despite the world-famous theme parks, amazing thrills and non-stop entertainment there is also life outside of the theme parks! Kissimmee offers access to huge ranches with rodeo shows, exotic swamps with exciting alligator spotting boat trips, horse riding, top-class golf, fishing, fantastic watersports and spectator sports like football and baseball. Holidays in Kissimmee offer the chance to visit the Atlantic Space Coast and the fabulous white sandy beaches of the western Gulf Coast. In Kissimmee you will never be stuck for things to do!

After the summer, Kissimmee temperatures and rainfall only begin to drop significantly in October.
