Is it any wonder that Orlando ranks as one of the top destinations on the planet? World-class theme parks, beautiful parks and lakes, fantastic shopping, award winning dining – this sunny city in Central Florida has so much to offer visitors of all ages.

Theme Parks

Everyone knows about Orlando’s famous theme parks but what you might not be familiar with are some of the more extraordinary things you can enjoy at each of them.

At the Walt Disney World Resort, embark on the Pirates and Pals Fireworks Voyage from the Contemporary Resort. Meet Captain Hook, board a boat, and enjoy a front row seat to the fireworks over Cinderella’s Castle. (The big surprise happens when you return to shore and you are greeted by Peter Pan!)

Go behind the scenes at Universal Orlando Resort with up to 11 of your friends with a VIP tour. You can also get the VIP treatment if you stay onsite because your room key grants you front-of-the-line access to several attractions and rides.

SeaWorld Orlando has many behind-the-scenes tours that provide animal encounters like you’ve never imagined. Interact with sea lions, dolphins, penguins and other exotic creatures.

Discovery Cove Orlando offers an all-inclusive day spent swimming with dolphins, snorkeling with tropical fish and relaxing on their private beach – and everything is included, from tasty snacks to dolphin-safe sunscreen.

LEGOLAND Florida is scheduled to open in early October of 2011 in Winter Haven, just 30 minutes from Orlando. It will be the largest LEGOLAND to date.
