Orlando is worldwide recognized as the capital of theme parks. Once you are there, you will not have to look too far to find fund and amazing experiences for the whole family. There is a whole bunch of attractions in Orlando, from enjoying a day with Mickey Mouse and his friends to enjoy a hot summer day at full speed at Wet ‘n Wild water slides.

Walt Disney World

Walt Disney World comprises a massive area divided into six parks, each offering its own magic. You can take a ride with Mickey on the main street, discover the latest technology at Epcot, or dip at Blizzard Beach.

Magic Kingdom Park

This is an All-time classic park with Disney Themed attractions, great parades and fireworks.

Disney’s Animal Kingdom Park

In an area of just over 200 acres of lush landscape, Disney’s Animal Kingdom is the largest animal park in the world. More than 1,700 live animals of about 250 different species live here. The feeling in this park is just like an African safari resort, but in Florida.

Epcot

This huge park is spread over 200 hectares, which is almost twice the surface of Magic Kingdom. Focused primarily on technological advances and innovation, you will find an exciting world full of wonders to explore at Epcot, including shows, rides, restaurants and more.

Disney’s Hollywood Studios

This is the favorite park if you love movies and spectacular Hollywood-style live shows. The whole park is like being inside a film set, including the backstage area and dressing rooms, where you will experience all the glamour and glitz of Hollywood and possibly even meet some of your favorite movie icons.

Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon

With features for all tastes and ages, Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon offers from ultra-fast waterslides to children’s area where kids can find safe amusement. The most striking aspect of the park is the waves of the pool, which are big enough for surfing, reaching almost two meters high. If you want more thrilling experiences, visit the shark tank and swim there, if you dare.

Disney’s Blizzard Beach

The conceptual idea behind this stunning park is that an unusual snowstorm that hit Florida, when the ice began to melt the water slides and games were formed. For sure this is not true but is a funny story, though. For those who like extreme adventure, here you can find one of the world’s largest water slides, but if you prefer something quieter, you can also find other attractions for the whole family.
