Orlando Travel Guide

When Orlando is mentioned, Walt Disney World resort immediately springs into the minds of many - understandably, as this 20,000-plus acre property is classified as a district of the city in its own right. The resort is home to four theme parks, two water parks, six golf courses, an auto race track, a sports complex, 20 hotels and a plethora of dining, shopping and entertainment options.

When you’ve had your fill of Mickey and pals, the likes of Universal Studios and theme parks such as Wet ‘n’ Wild, Cypress Gardens and nearby Busch Gardens, are at your disposal. Grab a set of wheels and head for Sea World, Kennedy Space Center or the Everglades for further treats.
