Things to Do in Orlando

Walt Disney World Resort® is the theme park that put Orlando on the worldwide tourist map, and its universal appeal is unquestionable. Visit with kids, and it's perfectly acceptable to display your elation at meeting the mouse, admiring Cinderella Castle, and strolling down Main Street with a pair of iconic ears on your head. But you do wonder about those adults who go to theme parks alone...Join them, and you might be surprised to discover that there's genuine joy in those cartoon worlds, pristine in their fanciful, fictional version of life. And you can't help but smile as you careen along the tracks of a roller coaster, spin in a teacup, and refresh yourself with a sugar-packed snow cone. Visit a theme park of a different nature, Gatorland, and marvel at the impressive sight of live alligator wrestling. Wondering what to do in Orlando other than frolicking at theme parks? You could explore downtown Orlando, where the brick streets are shaded by mature oaks, and the fountain in Lake Eola—colorfully illuminated at night—is a symbol of the city in all its glory.

The Theme Park Capital of the World is calling out to your inner child. Do you hear it? With the savings you get by booking Orlando hotels and flights at the same time with Travelocity, there's no reason to stay at home.
