Florida Villas – A Guide to Orlando

If you are staying in one of the apartments, resorts or Florida villas in the Orlando region for your holidays, check out our guide to the area.

Staying in Florida villas

Staying in one of the Florida villas on offer in Orlando is a chance to feel at home and live like an American family. Chances are, your own home doesn’t have air conditioning or its own private pool, but if you’re staying in a Florida villa in Orlando you are not looking for the real world - you’re after childhood fantasy. You don’t go to Orlando for the history or culture, despite the fact it does have great national parks and art galleries. You come for the theme parks and for escapism, Disney-style.

So what theme parks can you loose yourself in?

  • Walt Disney World

Disney World is probably synonymous with Florida. A self-contained city, it features three water parks, a shopping district, 22 hotels, hundreds of eateries, its own police force, medical centres and transport systems. Within Disney World there are four main theme parks – Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney- MGM Studios and Animal Kingdom.

Florida villas in the Disney-district

There are many Florida villas available in the Disney-district for families looking for a theme-park based holiday. Disney World is one of the world’s top tourist destinations with more than 20 million visitors a year and it is twice the size of Manhattan.

  • SeaWorld

For leaping dolphins, sea lions and whales, SeaWorld combines a stunning aquarium with an amusement park. If you are staying in one of the Florida villas in the Orlando region, SeaWorld is a must-see destination. Not only is it fun, the centre has one of the best animal rescue outfits in America.

  • Universal Studios

The added attraction of this theme park is it is also a working movie studio. If you are staying in one of the luxury Florida villas in the area, this is a chance to admire the stars from afar and live vicariously through them.

  • Discovery Cove

Once more a theme park with a twist – Discovery Cove is also a zoo and conveniently placed if you’re staying in one of the Florida villas in the Disney area – it’s next door to SeaWorld. There is a 1000 limit to the number of visitors so if you want to go, make reservations well ahead. You’ll be rewarded with private beaches, an exotic aviary and lunch is included.

  • Islands of Adventure

A theme park fit for superheroes, check out the Hulk and the high tech Amazing Adventures of Spider Man – this is considered by some to be the best theme park in Orlando.

If you’re visiting Florida specifically for the theme parks, it’s vital to get a villa located in the Disney area, especially during the busy holiday periods.
