Be prepared for the ride of your life in the ‘Theme Park Capital of the World’

Orlando

Any mention of Florida immediately conjures up images of Walt Disney World Resort and Universal Orlando Resort in Orlando and they are most definitely a treat for the young and young at heart. Be prepared for the ride of your life in the ‘Theme Park Capital of the World’. Race from ride to rollercoaster at some of the world’s most famous theme parks and water parks, and if the fun gets too much head to the shopping malls and dining districts for a slower way to spend your day.



Theme parks & attractions galore

Orlando is home to more theme parks than anywhere else in the world; just within Walt Disney World Resort there are four theme parks and two water parks alone. For film fans Universal Orlando Resort has tons to see and do, don’t miss the magical encounters, Despicable Me Minion Mayhem and Volcano Bay Water Park. A visit to Orlando wouldn’t be complete without a visit to ICON Park and The Pointe Orlando – these incredible entertainment destinations offer something to suit the whole family from the young, to the young at heart. The greatest space adventure on Earth at Kennedy Space Center must be explored and guests can get interactive at Professor Wonder’s Upside-Down Laboratory at WonderWorks Orlando.


Dining, entertainment and nightlife

Whatever your taste, Orlando’s expansive dining options mean you will never be short of amazing things to eat from family friendly feasts to Michelin-starred restaurants. If that isn’t enough, over 5,000 restaurants offer unique dinner shows that combine exhilarating entertainment with top-quality meals. The eclectic mix of daytime activities Orlando has to offer is extended into the night, with customers free to choose from music concerts, night clubs and comedy lounges amongst many more. Anywhere customers choose to stay in Orlando will offer them a vibrant nightlife as evening activities stand strong against the high standards of daytime fun.


Shopping

Orlando offers countless shopping malls, outlets and luxury boutiques – a shopaholic’s heaven. Disney Springs and the Florida Mall are amongst a plethora of high-end retail centres which offer unique shopping experiences that customers will be rushing to purchase from. Whilst designer outlets offer budget friendly shopping, many boutiques boast high price items meaning customers can really tailor their holiday, spending as much or as little as they please.


Relaxation

Winding down from the excitement of the ‘Theme Park Capital of the World’ has never been easier, as Orlando’s natural environment serves as the perfect antidote to hours of theme park fun. Nature trails, fishing and kayaking are just some of the enthralling activities that showcase Orlando in a different light. Customers will love the contrast of adventure to nature as Orlando really does have everything a holiday-goer desires.
