WHY VISIT ORLANDO?
Year-round family fun
If you’re looking for an extraordinary holiday for the whole family, then look no further than Orlando, Florida. With renowned theme parks, lively water parks and a host of activities including ziplining, your days in Orlando are guaranteed to be filled with adventure… and a touch of magic!
Practice your swing at world-class golf courses, browse boutique shops in Downtown Orlando, get cultural at the Orlando Museum of Art, or take the family to a memorable sporting event.
Explore natural beauty
With its lush palms, vibrant flowers and spacious green parks, it’s no wonder that Orlando is nicknamed ‘the city beautiful’. It’s also home to over 100 sparkling lakes!
Beyond the tourist hotspots, discover national parks, dense forests, diverse wildlife, and swamps packed with the region’s resident - alligators. If you’re looking for an epic outdoor adventure, explore the Everglades on a day trip by hiking, kayaking, or even in a hot-air balloon.
Life’s a beach
With year-round sunshine, every day is a beach day. Orlando is relatively close to many beautiful beaches, with some just an hour away by car. From the Gulf Coast to the emerald-green waters of St Pete’s, bustling Fort Lauderdale and the beachfront nightlife of Clearwater, there’s something for everyone. Or head to Cocoa Beach with its soft white sand and crystal-clear waters.
If you fancy a memorable road trip, the Florida Keys is reachable by car and can take between five to seven hours. Experience ultimate relaxation, snorkel, or scuba dive in the calm waters.
Meet Eilis, RCI guide for Orlando, Florida.
“Orlando has been one of our favourite holiday destinations and it always guarantees a memorable family trip: the magic never stops! There will always be so many great new reasons to return with your family to experience something different.
Kennedy Space centre is a must-visit. We were even lucky enough to watch a rocket launch, which was incredible.
The Kissimmee area is a great location for access to some of the most popular theme parks and is also close to many RCI resorts. To enjoy as many rides as possible, beat the park queues with a fast pass, which you can book in advance. You can also get multi-activity tickets to use in different places.
I’d also recommend a trip to some of the natural springs, including Blue Spring State Park, De Leon Springs State Park, and Wekiwa Springs State Park, which are all an hour or less from central Orlando.”
INSIDER TIPS
Orlando International Airport is the main airport and is close to central Orlando and some RCI resorts. There’s also Orlando Sanford International Airport which is smaller but still offers international flights.
If you want to sightsee before you get to Orlando, you could fly into Miami International Airport, which is a four-hour drive away, and spend a few nights there to extend your trip.
Held from August to November, the annual food and drink festival is the perfect way to develop your culinary skills. Watch live celebrity chef demonstrations or get hands-on in workshops.
The theme parks also host annual events and celebrations – so be sure to do your research ahead of time. If you’re a fan of motorbike racing, the Daytona 200 takes places in early spring at the Daytona International Speedway at Daytona Beach. You can also make your trip memorable with a behind-the-scenes tour of the stadium.
Although the spring and summer months are a popular time to visit, December offers mild climates and spectacular firework displays! With Christmas markets and New Year’s celebrations, join in the festivities for a truly memorable experience.
