Holidays in Orlando

Discover the kid in you on holidays in Orlando

One of the first constructions of its kind - and still one of the best - the Walt Disney World theme park draws many holidaymakers on flights to Orlando each year. Expanding over time to encompass the futuristic Epcot Centre and wild atmosphere of Animal Kingdom, the park covers many acres and can be recognised by the iconic Cinderella Castle.

Not far away, holiday visitors will find Universal Studios Florida, where you can 'jump into the action' in its countless attractions, including the well-loved Jaws and ET Adventure rides, as well as recent additions such as the Simpsons ride, and the Wizarding World of Harry Potter.

Experience wild holiday thrills in Orlando

If live-action thrills are more your bag, your holidays in Orlando can still be complete by visiting popular attractions such as SeaWorld Orlando, where the stars of the show might be fishy, but still entertain thousands daily - especially the world-famous killer whale Shamu. You'll find more watery fun at Wet 'n Wild and Aquatica, great places to cool down on hot Orlando days.

On holidays in Orlando, it's easy to get in the water yourself as well, as the area is home not only to a large number of fresh lakes, but also to many outdoor water parks, designed for fun on family holidays in Orlando.

Fun after dark on Orlando holidays

Your holiday fun doesn't have to stop just because the sun has dipped behind the Magic Kingdom. Visit Downtown Disney or Universal CityWalk for dinner and drinks, head into central Orlando for a taste of the city's nightlife while on holiday or enjoy the nightly firework events at Epcot.

Orlando continues to have a booming music scene, with rock, hip hop and Latino artists, as well as clubs featuring the hottest DJs in Florida. Alternatively, visit the Bob Carr Performing Arts Centre to catch touring national Broadway plays on your holidays.
