Vacationing in Orlando

If you are looking for the perfect family holiday, then try Orlando, Florida.

Orlando Florida is America’ s premier vacation spot for fun. Home to some of the world’ s best theme parks, there are also numerous other attractions such as great restaurants, shopping, golf courses, lakes and more. Enjoy a family vacation in Orlando and have the experience of a lifetime. Orlando is easy for you and your family to go beyond the standard theme park trips and to visit both the east and west coast of Florida, both of which you can reach within 45 minutes or so.

Hundreds of thousands of people vacation in Orlando every year; many come for the entertainment. Walt Disney World, Universal Studios, Sea World and Animal Kingdom are just a few of the theme parks located in Orlando.

While the major Orlando entertainment parks are the magnet, along with their non-stop nightlife and linked attractions, there is no shortage of other Orlando highlights and attractions. Theaters, parks, restaurants, museums, shopping malls, golfing, everything is available.

Downtown Orlando has a vibrant nightlife, with over 40 bars, restaurants and nightclubs within a three or four block radius of the intersection of Central Avenue and Orange Avenues.

Orlando is bang in the middle of Central Florida. Central Florida has fabulous weather all-year round, with mild winters, and hot, sunny summer months, so you will almost always be able to enjoy the great outdoors while your family is on vacation here. Florida also has 150 golf courses in the area making it the perfect golf vacation destinations.

Visitors to the central Florida area will also find plentiful shopping and dining outside of the Orlando area in towns such Winter Park and Altamonte Springs, and the new Winter Gardens.

Looking for somewhere to stay. My advice would be to hire a villa. This will give you the freedom to come and go as you please, and when you have had a busy day either at the Theme Parks or shopping malls, what could be better than to come back to the villa, have a swim in the pool, and sit and relax watching the magnificent sunsets. You can always ring for a takeaway to be delivered, or why not just have a BBQ at the poolside. Whatever you choose to do, Orlando is the perfect holiday destination for every member of the family.
