ORLANDO

The land of Disney World and amusement parks!! One of the biggest airports nationwide, you'll find yourself almost in the heart of Orlando! We have numerous Amusement/Theme Parks including:
Disney's Magic Kingdom where you can ride number rollercoasters!
MGM Studios - Ride the movies!
Epcot Center - School field trips go here to learn about different countries around the world. You can also drink around the world (very expensive though!)
Animal Kingdom - Safari animals, Lions, tigers and bears OH MY, shows, lots of fun for the family
Sea World - Sharks, Polar Bears, Fead the Dolphins and walruses, otters... See Shamu the killer whale! A great family fun park as well

The roads are fairly easy to navigate - I-4 takes you to all the amusement parks and runs NE to SW, 528 (Beachline) takes you to Port Canaveral and Cocoa Beach where you can see the Space Shuttle at Kennedy Space Center!, 408 (East West Expressway) takes you East and West to Waterford Lakes, one of, if not the biggest shopping center on the east coast.

We also have City Walk which is a series of Restaurants and shops that lead to Islands of Adventure (amusement park - rollercoasters) and Universal Studios - (Ride the movies!). City Walk has an excellent night scene with a variety of clubs (City Jazz, Pat O'Briens) or catch a bite to eat at Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville or Emirel's Steakhouse (BAM - kick it up a knotch). Hard Rock Live is also located here where several bands play.

You can also go to Downtown Disney and eat at the almost famous Planet Hollywood Restaurant or RainForest Cafe. There are various shops, etc.. down there - a good place for a romantic walk with a date.

We are home to the ORLANDO MAGIC basketball team and ORLANDO PREDATORS football team (Arena Football)

You will have to drive 1 hour to Tampa or 1 hour to Melbourne to find a casino as there are no poker rooms in Orange, Seminole or Lake counties.
