| Orlando
Hotel
Orlando
is famous for one thing - Walt Disney. Orlando is ranked
as the third most popular US destination with overseas
travelers and claims the second most hotel room nights,
lagging just behind Las Vegas.
Walt
Disney World is,
of course, the star attraction in Orlando. "The
happiest place on earth" makes over 20 million
people happy each year and is the world's biggest
amusement park. There are three main parks within this
one giant park - Magic Kingdom, Epcot Center and
MGM-Studios Theme park. Each of these three parks
represents a different theme - fairy tales, science and
technology and fantasy. There is so much to do in Disney
World alone, that you could easily spend your whole
vacation here.
Downtown Orlando is a
great place to go to escape the clutches of Disney. The
pace in Orlando is much slower and relaxed and generally
much more agreeable. Downtown Orlando offers the same
sights and attractions as any other large downtown city.
The Orlando Science Center has the amazing Tunnel of
Discovery and the Orlando Museum of Art showcases some
brilliant archaeological finds.
Orlando weather is good
all year round so the main thing to beware of is the
queues at the theme park rides. School is out during
August, so Disney World tends to be busiest at this
time. The winter months are quieter and weekends tend to
be less crowded than weekdays.
