If I am writing on the blog I am always talking about Florida and this is because I have visited the place so many times before. If you have never been to Orlando, Florida then I suggest putting in for a holiday request at the office space you work at and packing your bags ASAP!
The biggest reason why most people head across the Atlantic to this part of the world is of course down to the theme parks and if you are wondering just how many theme parks there are in Florida you are easily looking at 10+. Here are just some of the ones that Disney has on offer.
Disney
Disney has the largest collection of its theme parks in Florida with four main parks, two water parks an indoor gaming park and of course a shopping zone, sports complex and much, much more. Thousands of people travel to Florida just to go to these parks and to experience it for the first time. Once you have been here you cannot help but go back time and time again. These are the main parks of Disney World:
Magic Kingdom
This park is not to be confused with the park in California and instead of being “the happiest place on earth” this park was rather suitably named “the most magical place on earth”. Split into five different themed lands this park has something for everyone from the glorious sweet smells and look of a early 20th century Main Street USA to the Wild West feel of Frontierland. If you are saving up to go here you might want to wait for 2013 as this is the year most of the attractions in the new expanded Fantasyland should be opening!
EPCOT
Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow or EPCOT for short is all about technological innovation and international culture and is split into two parts, Future World and World Showcase. Future World contains the majority of the rides from the calm but interesting Spaceship Earth to the simulation of a launch mission to Mars in Mission Space! World Showcase is all about exploring different cultures by walking through 11 different countries but don’t worry, kids won’t get bored due to the fact there are Disney Characters, rides and Kim Possible missions to undertake!
Disney’s Hollywood Studios
This park is all about the movies and the days where Hollywood was at its best (30s and 40s). Although this park contains some rides that are way out of this timeline such as Rock and Rollercoaster and Toy Story Mania its most popular ride the Tower of Terror is taken directly from this timeline. You will also find that famous actors and directors as well as the odd police officer walk the street from time to time and interact with the guests. I have to say when I was younger I overlooked this park a lot (perhaps because of the older rides) but now this parked is just as loved as Magic Kingdom and EPCOT.
Animal Kingdom
Animal Kingdom has been credited buy the Association of Zoos and Aquariums which means they have exceeded standards in Education, Conservation and Research but if you think this park is just a simple Zoo then you are very wrong indeed. The Park is split into seven areas and there are many rides and animals to spot along the way. Guests can choose from travelling on a realistic safari (with real animals free to walk about) or travelling back to the age of the dinosaurs with Dinosaur! (perhaps not a ride for small children).
Don’t forget the water parks and the indoor gaming park too!
What are you waiting for, clock off from the serviced offices Victoria office and get to Disney!
