Orlando- A Dream Destination…!!
Orlando is my favorite place in Florida. It’s just one and half hour drive from my place and most of the weekends, you will find me there. It offers unique experiences for every visitor to ensure an unforgettable vacation. Orlando is the dream destination not only for a perfect family vacation but also for couples, single travelers or friends. It has plenty of attractions and activities to explore varying for all ages. Few of the places which you can’t afford to miss are as follows:

Orlando’s Walt Disney World is one of the largest theme park in the world and it is twice the size of Manhattan. It consist of four Disney theme parks- Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney’s Hollywood Studios & Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Apart from these four main parks, it has two water parks, four golf courses, one camping resort and Disney Springs as a shopping district and an entertainment venues. So you can understand how much energy you need to carry for covering the entire Walt Disney World.
Universal Orlando Resort
Universal has two theme parks- Universal Studios and Island of Adventure. Universal primarily focus on entertaining movie fans and if you are fan of movies like Transformer, Terminator, Spider- Man, MIB, MUMMY or The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, then this is the best place. You will go beyond the screen, behind the scenes and jump into the action of your favorite movies at the world’s premier movie and TV based theme park.
