Orlando Florida Hotels
and Visitor Guide
 Orlando is the entertainment
capitol of Florida. Once a rural part of Central Florida
Orlando is now a metropolis spawned by the phenomenal
success and expansion of Walt Disney World and Universal
Studios, Sea World and a host of smaller attractions. Now,
virtually all of Central Florida defines itself by its
distance from Orlando, while Orlando defines its own
mega-sprawl by its distance from Disney World. As the urban
expansion happens, the area between Tampa on the Gulf Coast
and the Orlando / Kissimmee area is rapidly becoming one
large community. Getting around Orlando isn't difficult, but if
you want to venture out beyond the immediate area around
your hotel or the theme parks, you will need a rental car.
Avoid the main roads such as Interstate 4 between 7-9AM and
4-7PM.

If you choose a hotel or vacation rental
close enough to the theme parks, you may be able to avoid
renting a car. Most of the larger hotels run shuttles to the
theme parks. Getting to Orlando from any part of the world is easy due to large number of low cost flights to Orlando arriving each day at Orlando international airport. |
For
Disneyworld, once you get to any part of Disney, they run their
own shuttle system in addition to the monorail. If you have a
rental car, you can just park it for the day and ride the Disney
shuttle. One good spot that's not too hard to get to is Downtown
Disney which is located next door to Pleasure Island. Park there
in the morning, hop the shuttle to Disney or Epcot and come back
for dinner.
