Orlando Attractions

Disney - Sea World - Universal Studios, Florida, USA

Walt Disney World's theme parks are mandatory magic for Central Florida visitors.

The spires of Cinderella's castle are familiar around the world as the symbol of The Magic Kingdom, Disney's original park in Lake Buena Vista. The castle is a fantastic backdrop for playful rides and roaming characters such as international celebrity, Mickey Mouse.

Disney's Animal Kingdom, its newest adventure park, is filled with the natural drama of life in the wild. Visitors have thrilling encounters with animals from real life, the distant past, and imagination. The latest addition to Disney's Animal Kingdom is Asia, which showcases the exotic wildlife and lush rain forests of the continent's southern region. Guests embark on many fascinating journeys, encountering natural mysteries at every turn.

 

EpcoEpcot Center - Orlando Floridat is a two-part educational and cultural attraction designed to challenge the mind and satisfy the senses. Here, you can sample a warm croissant at a bakery in France, tap your foot to an authentic oom-pah band in Germany, learn about the age of dinosaurs, and take an exhilarating trip through the human body all in one day!

Disney-MGM Studios allows visitors to see Disney animators creating wonderful characters and explains movie-making on an entertaining back lot 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." Some rides provide an entertaining look at famous movies of the past, such as "Kongfrontation," where guests meet King Kong on the New York subway.

Jaws, Earthquake, Terminator 2: 3-D Battle Across Time and the works of Hitchcock are among the park's other movie attractions.

Twister, a technological marvel, invites guests to experience the awesome live spectacle and destructive nature of an actual tornado, a mere 20 feet away.

Islands of AdventureUniversal's newest park is Universal Studios Islands of Adventure.

Five islands, each with a distinct personality, offer something for everyone.

Experience the bustling marketplace of Port of Entry, battles between good and evil on Marvel Super Hero Island, slapstick ruckuses at Toon Lagoon, prehistoric megalosaurs in Jurassic Park, mythical sorcerers on the Lost Continent, and fanciful revelry at Seuss Landing.

Visitors to Central Florida will want to explore natural attractions as well as fantastical ones, and SeaWorld is a wonderful place to start. Now guests can be Trainer for a Day, working alongside real SeaWorld animal trainers to learn training techniques, feeding, and show preparation. Attractions include the "Pacific Point Preserve," a sea lion and seal habitat which mimics the rocky, northern Pacific coastline; and "Manatees: The Last Generation?" an up-close look at the endangered sea cow. SeaWorld's newest attraction is Wild Arctic, which takes visitors on a chilling adventure to experience the natural beauty of the arctic. Visitors come face to face with real polar bears, walruses, harbor seals and beluga whales.
 

Medieval TimesDinner attractions are very popular in the Orlando area and also centre around themes, whether of an era or an ethnicity.Medieval Times

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.

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 centres 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.

Water fun is everywhere in Central Florida, though it's not a beach destination.Waterfall photo courtesy of Water Mania

Wet 'n Wild, Watermania, Disney's Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach are water parks where visitors can beat the Florida heat and have a slipping, sliding, good time of it! The newest, Disney's Blizzard Beach combines water with "snow" from a "freak Florida snowstorm," creating snowy slopes.
