Getting Oriented in Orlando

  • Orlando. Thanks to Disney World, Orlando is the gateway for many visitors to Central Florida—but it offers much more than theme parks.
  • Winter Park. Looking for more laid-back local flavor? You’ll find it just 10 miles northeast of Orlando in this charming little city.
  • Lake Buena Vista. Lake Buena Vista offers a wide array of dining, shopping, and lodging options adjacent to the area's biggest theme parks.
  • Celebration. Walt Disney World's planned residential community also has hotels and dining.
  • Kissimmee. Edging Orlando to the south is Kissimmee, with a rodeo, natural attractions, and a historic downtown.
  • Wekiwa Springs State Park. A day trip away from Orlando, Wekiwa is great for hiking, picnicking, and swimming.
  • LEGOLAND. The 150-acre park inspires family fun with millions of LEGOs, as well as a water park and lush gardens.
  • Bok Tower Gardens. This beautiful outdoor sanctuary in Lake Wales is well worth a visit.
