Orlando




It’s a funny thing that Orlando is now one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world. Before 1965 there wasn’t much more than cattle pastures, farmland, orange groves, and useless swamp areas. All that changed when our favorite Walt Disney came. Now the Orlando vicinity has without question the best theme parks in the entire world. Disney World, Universal Studios, Islands of Adventure, and countless other water parks call Orlando their home. Thrilling roller coasters, exhilarating shows, tantalizing rides, are all plentiful in Florida. You’ll need a car however, for Florida’s roads are big and long and public transportation is virtually non-existent.
Disney world itself is something to awe at. It has 4 major theme parks and 7 other attractions. Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Animal Kingdom, and Hollywood studios are must-sees. Blizzard beach and Tropical lagoon are also excellent attractions during the hot, blistering summers of Florida.
Universal Studios are also incredible fun for the family and for friends. There’s City Walk, which has great restaurants and bars with live music, and the two theme parks, Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure. Universal Studios has more sit down type shows while Islands of Adventure has more thrilling rides. My favorite attraction has to be the 3D Spiderman ride in the Marvel area of Islands of Adventure. I strongly recommend you visit that ride.
