Ideally located in the heart of sunny central Florida, the city of Orlando is one of the world’s most popular and exciting vacation destinations. Welcoming more than 70 million visitors annually, Orlando is home to spectacular weather, spacious parks, renowned museums, world-class sporting events, extraordinary performing arts, internationally acclaimed shopping and dining and fun-filled nightlife. Oh, and did we mention the single greatest collection of theme parks, water parks and attractions you’ll find anywhere!

Once just a quiet area filled with citrus groves, Orlando sprang to life thanks to a little something called Walt Disney World. And the rest is history. Today, Orlando’s theme parks provide the ride of your life and something for everyone in the family.

Highlighted by Magic Kingdom and its iconic Cinderella Castle, Disney World today includes four major theme parks, two exciting water parks, a plethora of themed resorts, and a shopping, dining and entertainment district called Disney Springs.

Pick a Disney park and scream with delight on a thundering roller coaster. Enjoy awe-inspiring meet and greets with Mickey Mouse and your favorite Disney characters. Experience extraordinary parades and live performances. Grab a bite to eat in an exquisitely themed restaurant. Or take part in one of the popular annual festivals like Epcot’s International Food and Wine celebration or the International Flower and Garden Festival.

Not to be outdone, Universal Orlando Resort presents two of its own amazing theme parks – Universal Studios Florida and Islands of Adventure plus the thrilling Volcano Bay water theme park. Both Universal parks are anchored by The Wizarding World of Harry Potter where the Harry Potter books and movies come to life before your eyes.

Explore Diagon Alley and walk through Gringott’s bank. Hop a ride on the Hogwarts Express. Or find yourself entering the towering gates of Hogwarts Castle, and wandering the familiar passageways and corridors of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Universal puts you in the middle of your favorite movies. Race up to 67 miles per hour on the Incredible Hulk coaster. Get soaked on Dudley Do-Right’s Ripsaw Falls. Come face-to-face with a terrifying T-Rex on Jurassic Park River Adventure or join forces with the web-slinging Spider-Man.

Best known for its killer whales, bottlenose dolphins, penguins and other marine wildlife encounters, SeaWorld Orlando also boasts some of the area’s most exciting thrills rides. See for yourself by riding Kraken, a 65 MPH floorless coaster, Mako, a steel hyper-coaster, or Manta, which takes you on a head-first, face-down inverted nosedive! There’s also the new Infinity Falls, a raft ride featuring soaking waterfalls, and the tallest drop of its kind – straight into churning whitewater.

An Orlando vacation can also include many other parks and attractions. Head to Gatorland where you’ll find more than 2,000 alligators and crocodiles. Visit Legoland Florida, where the youngest of the bunch can make truly awesome memories in a land filled with millions of LEGOS. Hop aboard the 400-foot tall ICON Orlando observation wheel for an amazing bird’s eye view. Or fulfill the dream of a lifetime through a personalized one-on-one interaction with a dolphin at Discovery Cove.

Of course, no trip to Orlando is complete without a little time splashing in the water. And while you’ll find multiple water parks with lazy rivers, electrifying water slides and massive wave pools, the beach is another popular destination for central Florida visitors.

Head east to the Atlantic Ocean where you can discover the wonders of outer space at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex. Or catch some surfing waves in Cocoa Beach, home to the famed Ron Jon Surf Shop. Or go west to the Gulf of Mexico where you’ll find spectacular white sand beaches in Clearwater and St. Petersburg. From Orlando, the surf, sand and sun is just a short drive away.

There’s no better time to put Orlando on your bucket list and there’s no better place to start your adventure than Westgate Resorts. With five exceptional Orlando resort properties, Westgate puts you on the doorstep to Disney and offers the ideal home away from home. Enjoy spacious and luxurious villa accommodations with all the comforts of home, plus a wide range of exclusive resort amenities, including multiple swimming pools, an on-site water park, lakefront marinas with paddle boats, state of the art fitness centers, miniature golf, exceptional on-site dining options, and more.

What are you waiting for? Come along for the ride of your life in Orlando, and experience the beauty, excitement and wonder of central Florida.
