Orlando Travel Guide

There is no doubt that Orlando is the city of theme parks, but its reputation as the family vacation capital of the world has meant a massive growth in other attractions. Orlando city is providing new reasons to visit every year.

As well as theme parks, Orlando is a top destination for golf lovers and home to eight major shopping malls. The only problem with Orlando is finding enough time to visit every attraction! So, some planning before you go is definitely recommended.

Weather

Visit Orlando year round and expect a warm climate and sunny days. Even in the middle of an Orlando winter, the weather is good with temperatures around 70 degrees. Summers are very warm, with a scattering of rain. The average temperature during the summer months is 90 degrees. A good time to visit Orlando is March to April - the driest but also the busiest time - or September or October - still very warm but less humid than the summer months.

Getting Around

The Lynx bus system covers most of the city, and most resort properties offer complimentary transportation to the Disney parks.

If you prefer to hire a car, most attractions are well signposted and easy to find. Remember that traffic is very busy on major routes in the morning and early evening. Top Villas offer a car hire service, so take a look at the website or call for details.

Things To Do

Orlando offers everything you need to keep your family entertained during your stay. The main resorts, Emerald Isle, Formosa Gardens, Windsor Hills and Reunion Resort offer close proximity to the major theme parks.

As well as the large scale attractions, be sure to visit Discovery Cove, Sammy Duvall Water Sport Centre, Outta Control Dinner Show and GatorLand.

Walt Disney World Resort

This huge resort combines 4 amazing theme parks, including the Magic Kingdom. There are 2 water parks, a sports complex, a shopping district, restaurants and bars, golf courses, water sports and spas.

99% of all visitors to the area visit the theme parks. To keep them coming, every year Disney add something or update attractions to keep returning visitors interested, so always look out for these and plan your visit before you arrive. This year is no exception. Check out Fantasyland with its new Storybook Circus just open with new rides including The Barnstormer and Dumbo the Flying Elephant. The second phase, Fantasyland Forest opens at the end of 2012 at Magic Kingdom.

Or try the new Wild Africa Trek at Animal Kingdom.

Universal Orlando Resort

Another fantastic resort, although only a tenth of the size of Disney. Universal has 2 more theme parks, a shopping district, nightlife and the Wet N Wild water park. Universal Resort is also home to the 20+ acre Wizarding World of Harry Potter attraction with its roller coaster rides and other magical rides. Remember it will be busy though; in its first year this attraction increased visitor numbers by 2 million to 11.2 million!

SeaWorld

The hugely popular marine life park offers visitors dolphin and whale shows, aquariums, rides and live entertainment. Aquatica is SeaWorld's water park which features live fish and marine mammals.

Legoland

Just south of Orlando Legoland is now open offering lots of building brick experiences from rides to Lego replicas of towns and animals. Legoland Waterpark is due to open this summer 2012 too.

Kennedy Space Center

The home of NASA. Enjoy a bus tour of the space centre, hands on exhibits, and giant screen film shows. The Kennedy Space Center's latest attraction is the Shuttle Launch Experience, which simulates all the sensations of a launch. You can meet an astronaut too - everyday one is present to talk about their experiences and you can ask all those questions you've always wanted to.

Sports and Activities

If you love sport, you'll love Orlando. Orlando is fantastic for golfers with some amazing facilities and little chance of rain to spoil your fun. Several of Orlando's theme parks have golf courses attached, as do some villa resorts. Tennis is another sport popular in Orlando. Or is fishing your thing? Orlando's rivers and lakes will keep you happy for hours, or perhaps venture out to sea. Enjoy Orlando by bike, canoe, horse, boat or foot!

Arts and History

Orlando Ballet is one of the few ballet companies of its size to perform full length classical ballets, mostly at the Bob Carr Performing Arts Centre. Orlando Shakespeare Theatre offers classical productions year round. Also worth a visit are the Mennello Museum of American Art and the Orlando Science Centre. Winter Park is home to 2 museums - The Charles Hosmer Morse Museum of American Art and Cornell Fine Art Museum.

Natural Orlando

If you want to get up close and personal with nature then Orlando has that too. There are parks, gardens and preserves all around the area.

Try the Butterfly Garden or the Bok Sanctuary for acres of landscaped gardens or see the beautiful World of Orchids in nearby Kissimmee.

The Tiger-Butler Preserve or the Disney Wilderness Preserve to see Osprey, wild turkeys, Sandhill Cranes, red shoulder hawks....

Restaurants

Orlando has a wide variety of restaurants to meet all tastes and budgets - from burgers to buffets. Where better to find all these than Sand Lake Road which has every kind of dining experience you could wish for. Dinner shows are also popular in Orlando, staged at many hotels. Seafood is particularly good here. Choose from one of the many fish restaurants and savour a dish of succulent shrimp.
