Orlando, Florida has been synonymous with vacation since Walt Disney announced his intention to bring Disney World to Orlando in 1975. But whether you want to enjoy a week with your family in a theme park, relax in Winter Park or discover the history of downtown Orlando, there is something for everyone.
With EscapeWizard.com, booking an unforgettable trip to Orlando has never been easier. Orlando International Airport (MCO) is one of the most efficient airports in the country, which will ensure that you start your vacation off in a good mood. Book your flight today with EscapeWizard.com; just click this link to make flight arrangements (www.escapewizard.com/flight.php). Orlando is also home to some amazing hotels which you can book through the hotel portion of our website (www.escapewizard.com/hotels.php?flag=htl).
With so many theme parks to choose from, Orlando has a day of fun in store for everyone. Disney’s Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom will inject a healthy dose of whimsy into your vacation, while Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure’s movie-themed rides and roller coasters will leave you breathless. If you’re looking to cool down, EscapeWizard.com suggests one of Orlando’s many water parks, like Wet n’ Wild, Disney’s Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon, or Sea World’s Aquatica and Discovery Cove, the latter of which provides you with a chance to swim with resident dolphins.
Once the theme parks close for the day there is plenty of nightlife to keep you and your family entertained. EscapeWizard.com recommends you spend your evening at either Disney’s Pleasure Island or Universal CityWalk, where the restaurants, shopping and entertainment cannot be beat. Pleasure Island provides the Lego Imagination Center, the stunning Cirque du Soleil’s La Nouba and restaurants like Wolfgang Puck Café, Raglan Road Irish Pub and the Rainforest Cafe. If music is your thing, you can catch dinner and a concert at CityWalk’s Hard Rock Café or kickback at Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville.
Another great destination is Orlando’s International Drive, a road dedicated to wowing tourists with unique and over-the-top attractions. The Pirates Dinner Adventure boasts great food, guest participation and a broadway-styled show complete with singing swashbucklers and damsels in distress. You can go to the upside-down Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Museum or scare yourself silly at iFly Orlando, an indoor skydiving wind tunnel or on SkyCoaster, which is essentially a giant swing sending you across the sky at 70 miles per hour and more than 100 feet above ground.
For a more sedate way to enjoy The City Beautiful, EscapeWizard.com recommends Winter Park, a lovely area and local-favorite about 10 minutes from downtown Orlando. With large trees and beautiful flowers lining the sidewalks, eating al fresco and enjoying the shops of Park Avenue is a relaxing yet invigorating way to spend your time. There are several museums to enjoy as well, including the Albin Polasek Museum and Sculpture Garden, The Cornell Fine Arts Museum at Rollins College, and the Morse Museum, which hosts the world’s most comprehensive collection of Louis Tiffany’s work.
As you head closer to downtown Orlando there are even more museums to enjoy. The comprehensive Orlando Museum of Art, the kid-friendly Science Center, and the folk artistry displayed at the Menello Museum of Art are not to be missed. As you head into downtown you can check out the Orange County Regional History Center, which presents traveling exhibits, as well as a walk through the history of Florida.
Downtown holds a historical appeal to many visitors with beautiful Lake Eola at its center. If the paranormal holds your interest, one of the best ways to tour Orlando is with Orlando Ghost Tours, which takes you on a spooky tour of the city by night and ends back at Church Street Station, a historical street rife with great bars, like Rosie O’Grady’s Good Time Emporium and the Cheyenne Saloon.
EscapeWizard.com can assure that no matter what you choose to do while in Orlando, you will have an exceptional time. Follow the links above to book your next vacation with EscapeWizard.com.
