Advantages: Fun , warm, magic

Disadvantages: cant think of one

What can i say about Orlando that hasnt already been said.
I absolutely love the place. From that minute getting on the plane i start to feel like a big kid, and thats the key - people think its only for kids etc well they couldnt be further from the truth.
On our first year going we had taken the option of a hire car though beware, when we got to the airport it wasnt free as the insurance was quite high for it, thought we accepted this and thought we will get good use out of it anyway. Except when we arrived to the hotel we realised there were shuttle buses everywhere which meant we didnt have to use the car at all, so we brought it back got money back on it.
The shuttle buses are fantastic and so handy to get to all the parks on. They are air conditioned and let you sit and relax and take in the atmospheric fun on your way to the parks. I would defnitely recommend you try to get hotel/ apartments with free shuttle buses.

We stayed just off international drive and this was a fantastic location to stay. We felt like we were right in the heart of everything. Shops , restaurants you name it. We had such fun taking walks up international drive in the evenings and trying out new restaurants and checkin out all the shops. Our fave eating place had to be ponderosa - unreal. I also loved the kfc opposite wet and wild. International drive is almost like a little holiday resort on its own.

The parks in orlando were out of this world. I loved all the disney parks and i would defnitely recommend the fast pass as some of the busier rides had really long queues. I also loved the parade in magic kingdom it was fantastic.
The universal parks and seaworld were also fantastic. Something for everyone although i would try not to eat in the parks as it can be very expensive.

The shopping on international drive was great, the belz outlet was fantastic as was Florida Mall.

The i ride trolleys i have to recommend also for getting about on International Drive, we hopped on and off when we pleased and got to see everything we wanted to.

Also what i would recommend anyone to do is take a trip down the coast from orlando. Our hotel did a range of day trips and we took one which took us to clearwater beach and out to see dolphins and another one to kennedy space centre which was absolutely unreal.

To sum up there is so so much to do in orlando, i have been 7 years to it and still feel like there is things i havnt seen or done. The fun never goes out of it and it really is magic. I actually cant put into words properly how much i adore the place.

Summary: If you ever get the chance to go do - you wont regret it
