Highlights & Hotspots

The best place for shopping is Disney’s Boardwalk, which is close to the Downtown Disney part of Disney World. Here, you’re sure to find plenty of exclusive boutiques and souvenir shops where you can buy everything from electronics to high fashion and jewellery for your next big night out.
For thrill-a-minute rides, the best theme park is the Magic Kingdom. As the oldest part of the resort, it has rides that will please visitors of all ages while the sense of whimsy that comes with many of the rides will keep everyone entertained for hour after hour.
SeaWorld Adventure Park is a massive marine park which has rides, aquariums, pools for whales and dolphins and more besides. Unlike Disney World, it is a pretty laid-back place to spend a morning or afternoon.
The Universal Orlando Resort is a good alternative to Disney World. It has the famous Universal Studios where you can see TV shows and films being shot, while there are rides to enjoy, not to mention a nightclub and restaurant complex for the adults.
