Kids of all ages will lap up the attractions that Orlando has to offer. The theme park capital of the world is the perfect place for families to holiday with the sun on their backs, thrilling rides underneath their white knuckles and magical wonders in front of their eyes.
Flights to Orlando arrive at two major airports. Passengers on scheduled flights will land at Orlando International (MCO), while those on charter flights from the UK will alight at Orlando Sanford (SFB). Flight time is around nine hours.
Getting to your hotel or self-catering villa in the Orlando area is easy from both airports - whether you are staying in the main tourist location of International Drive or the perhaps shoppers' favourite Colonial Drive. Car hire is the most popular option, as four wheels are essential if you want to make the most of your time in Orlando or the coastal areas to the east and west, such as Daytona Beach and Tampa Bay. There are plenty of taxis and airport shuttle buses available too.
Once you've settled into your accommodation, calmed the kids down a little, and unpacked your sunshine wardrobe, what next? Well, there's Universal Studios and the Harry Potter theme park, Walt Disney World Resort, Wet 'n Wild, Sea World, Discovery Cove... don't expect the little ones to remain calm for long.
If the grown ups get a say on the holiday itinerary, outlet shopping is fantastic in Orlando, and nearby Kennedy Space Center is the ultimate experience in big boys' toys.
Kissimee is a popular alternative to staying in Orlando, as it's a little quieter.
