City of Orlando
It’s true: Orlando is a magical place. Every day here, no one is too old, or too young, to wear Mickey ears or wave a wand and cackle in delight. For family fun, there are theme parks that tap into your love affairs with comic-book heroes and galaxies far, far away, and leave you screaming at every free fall and splashdown. I-Drive is 11 miles of sensory overload such as The Orlando Eye at ICON Park and WonderWorks. Disney Springs combines shopping, food, attractions, and live entertainment. A short ride from the bright lights are outdoors adventures such as 72-degree springs and airboat rides in the headwaters of the Everglades. Plan your trip to Orlando:
THEME PARKS
Florida is epicenter of the world for theme parks. Orlando is the capital.
MORE FAMILY FUN
Indoors and outdoors, in the air and underwater, the family activities will stimulate the senses and expand the mind.
OUTDOOR ADVENTURES
You can be a participant: swimming, paddling, golfing, hiking, cycling, and fishing. You can be a spectator: championship golf tournaments, and professional basketball and soccer.
SHOPPING
From Orlando's outlet malls to Winter Park's Main Street to Disney Springs and Celebration, there is a smorgasbord of shopping tastes: elite brands, neighborhood-vibe boutiques, and welcome discounts
FOOD
In one of the world's entertainment capitals, it makes sense that there are a proportional variety of cuisines and number of award-winning culinary experiences.
PLACES TO STAY
You can stay in a resort on the campus of an attraction -- with a water park for a swimming pool. You can bring the extended family to a vacation home. Imagine it. You can have it.
