Florida
Florida is the Sunshine State, the state flower being the Orange Blossom and the state bird being the Mockingbird. Yes, it immediately conjures visions of colour, heat and fun! Theme parks, shopping malls and all-night parties are contrasted by golden beaches, the Everglades swampy habitats and wildlife parks.

--Kissimmee
The state capital is 'small-town USA' with tree-lined sidewalks and wooden-fronted stores. It is ideally located for visits to the bright lights of Disneyworld, Universal Orlando or Discovery Cove but is itself more laid-back, although it has Medieval Times, Capones and Arabian Nights dinner shows as well as plenty of American, Italian and Mexican restaurants.
Orlando
Known as the entertainment capital of the world, Orlando is in central Florida and has enough water parks, theme parks, restaurants, shopping malls and nightspots to to keep you entertained for weeks. You might want to buy an Orlando Flexticket which gives access to unlimited excitement at Universal's Islands of Adventure, Wet 'n Wild, SeaWorld, Universal Studios and Busch Gardens. Flexible for 14 days and with free transport, it's good value.
You can't miss the Walt Disney World Resort, of course, with Downtown Disney, Pleasure Island, DisneyQuest plus 4 theme parks and 2 water parks
