Orlando
may be called the super tourism capital of the world: A great climate,
more attractions than any other place, fantastic possibilities to
go out at night, wonderful activities during daytime. Orlando is a
great place to go with your family. Theme parks are the most common
reason for visitors to come to Orlando. Disney World is great.
Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park, its newest adventure park, is
filled with the natural drama of life in the wild.
Epcot is a two-part educational and cultural attraction designed to
challenge the mind and satisfy the senses. Disney-MGM Studios allows
visitors to see Disney animators creating wonderful characters and
explains movie-making on an entertaining backlot tour.
Universal Studios Florida shares the movie-making theme of Disney-MGM
Studios, but attractions are presented quite differently here. At
Universal, promoters say you can "ride the movies." Universal's newest
park is Universal Studios Islands of Adventure, where there are "real"
roller coasters. Awesome park. Visitors to Orlando will want to explore
natural attractions as well as fantastical ones, and SeaWorld is a
wonderful place to start.
For those with not enough stamina to endure a theme park, Orlando
offers more relaxing attractions. Orlando has a very nice science
museum and the city's art museum is also impressive. Since NASA is
not far away, a some families may want to take a break away from the
bustle of the theme parks and see the rocket garden in the morning
and then spend the afternoon relaxing on a nearby beach, like Cocoa.
Dinner attractions are very popular in the Orlando area and also center
around themes, whether of an era or an ethnicity.
Medieval Times Dinner and Tournament in Kissimmee allows you to cheer
a knight to victory. Disney's Pleasure Island celebrates New Year's
Eve every night with laser lights and dancing in the streets. Church
Street Station in downtown Orlando is a nighttime smorgasbord of activities
and eateries, hosting a variety of different clubs and restaurants.
Last call for alcohol is 2 a.m. Universal Studios CityWalk is a colossal
30-acre entertainment mecca, where themed restaurants, nightclubs,
cinemas, live entertainment, and shopping abound.
Shopping areas in Orlando have as much variety as the local attractions.
Souvenirs of your adventures, for both yourself and your friends back
home are easy to find. Outlet centers and factory stores abound here
and offer some of the best bargains in town.
Shopping areas in Orlando and Kissimmee are also popular for their
fun environments, such as at Pointe*Orlando, Disney Village Market
Place or Old Town in Kissimmee.
