Orlando: brighter than Las Vegas, cooler than Miami.
Hello! I want to immerse you in the atmosphere of an amazing city in the USA — Orlando. Let’s take our mind to sunny Florida and start the journey!
Orlando is a real entertainment and tourist kingdom! Like Las Vegas, Orlando is almost entirely at the mercy of fantasy. It’s a place where you can imagine yourself in places that you can’t get to. And like Vegas casinos, Orlando theme parks work hard to constantly remain a fun and exciting place where only one important thing can exist, it is your enjoyment. Even outside of theme parks, Orlando has an atmosphere of celebration and fun.
Orlando is a large city in the Central part of the state of Florida. It’s impossible to see all the sights in one day, just like in any other city, so it’s better to go to Orlando for three days. And I want to tell you about this kind of trip.
Day 1. The City
In downtown Orlando, Eola Lake is located. There is a fountain in the center. This fountain is a symbol of the city.
The main street is International Drive. All kinds of hotels, restaurants, shops, museums, cafes and many other interesting places where you can relax, have a snack and have fun are concentrated on this “Broadway”.
Orlando is the perfect city for shopping. Shops are found at every step, it seems that markets, boutiques, stalls, small shops and large shopping centers are scattered throughout the city. The most fashionable shopping center is the Mall at Millenia.
Day 2. Walt Disney World Park or Universal Park.
Orlando is world famous for its entertainment parks — the huge Walt Disney World Park and the amazing grandiose “fairy tale for adults” Universal Park. Sea World Park, Gatorland, , John F. Kennedy Space Center, and others. Of course, you can’t get around all of them. You should choose parks based on your interests. In my opinion, the most interesting parks are Universal Park and Walt Disney World, which we will devote the second day to.
Parks are very huge. So, it’s better to choose one, if you have only one day to visit them.
- Walt Disney World Park
Walt Disney world is the largest theme park in the world. Disney world includes four separate theme parks, two water parks, a sports complex, five golf courses, two dozen hotels, 100 restaurants and two shopping districts and two districts that are the center of nightlife.
Yes, this “world” is not small!)
The main objects:
- Adventureland
It resembles the exotic jungles of Africa, Asia and South America and is divided into 2 themed zones-an Arab village and a Caribbean square. Among the country’s entertainment options are a river cruise through the jungle, a carousel based on the cartoon “Aladdin”, a trip among the scenery and characters of the movie “Pirates of the Caribbean”, the Robinson family tree house and the enchanted room of Disney.
- Tomorrowland
The country of the future is not just a park zone, but a real intergalactic city with exciting attractions that takes visitors to the future. The zone’s adventures include a rocket flight between planets, 3D rides, space roller coasters, a race track, and others.
- Epcot Centre
The Park is dedicated to the future, technology, interplanetary travel and communication technologies.
- World Showcase
It is a large area with pavilions representing the countries of the world, located around an artificial lake. Each of the pavilions presents the culture, architecture, and attractions of the United States, Japan, Morocco, France, Great Britain, Canada, Mexico, Norway, China, Germany, and Italy.
Also in this fabulous world there are the second largest Zoological Park in the world, many aquaparks and a lot of other entertainments. If you want to plunge into a fairy tale, ancient past or trendy future — you should definitely visit Disney World!
2. Universal Park
Universal Studio Park is equipped as a huge film Studio with sets for the most famous films, entertainment programs and incredible attractions. Universal Studio consists of 8 themed lands located around the lagoon. Each zone has attractions and shows inspired by popular movies, TV and music, as well as cafes, restaurants and shops.
The main objects:
- Production Central
- New York City
- San Francisco
- Springfield and World Expo
- Diagon Alley
- Marvel Super Hero Island
Walking through the vast territories of parks t is not easy, but the impressions of what you see will overcome all the difficulties!
Day 3. Nature
Orlando is not just a party and skyscrapers. This is also the amazing nature and fauna of Florida. So we will devote the third day to nature. And let’s start with Sea World Park.
This is an amusement park and a marine zoo — aquarium. There are animal enclosures, water rides for all ages and courage, many restaurants and, of course, a variety of shops with souvenirs and nice things. Tourists can see sharks, rays, barracudas, venomous fish, California sea lions, seals, forty-two bottlenose dolphins, flamingos, American brown pelicans, seven killer whales.
Also it’s worth to visit Gatorland — a huge crocodile farm where more than a hundred crocodiles live in the wild.
Let’s finish our trip 55 km from Orlando in Blue Spring National Park. It is known as a wintering place for rare animals manatees. The Blue Spring Park offers a lot of entertainment for visitors: boat rentals, canoes, scuba diving, fishing in permitted areas, swimming, walking and of course the amazing beauty of the scenery around. This is a great place to relax and digest the experience of a bright city.
This is only a small part of Orlando. But this is enough to love this city.
I advise you to visit this place!
