Orlando
Orlando is often referred to as the family entertainment capital of the world and with good reason. The arrival of the Walt Disney Resort prompted a huge influx of tourists, which then leads to further development along the chain.
There are 5 extensive parks belonging to Disney two of which are water parks not to mention further facilities such as hotels, shops and golf courses.
But that’s only Disney! Sea World and Universal also have five theme parks between them meaning that there is truly no end to the rides and amusements on offer in Orlando.
Orlando may be family themed- but there is still plenty around to keep the big kids occupied after sunset! There is an extremely active club and bar scene along the Universal City Walk, Disney Pleasure Island and Downtown Orlando. Here you can find a good mix of nightlife from late night dance clubs to chilled-out live music, or comedy lounges a great way to unwind at the end of a hectic day on rollercoaster’s.
There is plenty of shopping in Orlando as well. There is a huge range on offer from flea markets to designer labels and souvenir spots. There are no main centres however, instead the stores and shops are spread out over the entire area. A must-see for any serious shopper is The Mercado and Pointe Orlando district famed for their one-of-a-kind shops and restaurants.
Orlando has all this to offer a family and more not to mention the gorgeous weather. You’ll be keeping busy and getting tanned at the same time and won’t even know it!
