Mention the name "Orlando" to a child and watch them become ecstatic with joy. It's one of the few places in the world where kids (and kids at heart) can experience magical worlds and adventures. It's also why Orlando is dubbed as the "Theme Park Capital of the World." Orlando is home to no less than 13 major theme parks that attract upwards of 70 million people from around the world each year!
In addition to family theme park fun and year-round sunny skies and warm temps, Orlando is also home to great shopping, amazing dining adventures and close to amazing beaches in nearby New Smyrna and Daytona Beach. It's also not far from the Kennedy Space Center™ in Cape Canaveral, home of NASA and the U.S. space program. If you can time your vacation right, you can enjoy theme park magic and an awe-inspiring rocket launch, too.
