Parks & Nature
A beautiful and peaceful park to wander around. Lots of different things to see and do. A real opportunity to engage with nature in a wonderful setting.
If you can co-ordinate your visit with a performance from the carillon tower, you're in for a real treat. Sweet music ringing out in a wonderful setting. Remember to take some quarters so that you can feed the Koi fish.

Shopping
Fantastic selection of premium outlet shops, definitely worth checking out for bargain finds.
The entrance coming by I-4/Little Lake Bryan Road can get very busy, much better to arrive and leave by International Drive/Vineland Avenue.
It's also worthwhile going to first thing in the morning when it opens to avoid the crowds.

Entertainment & Activities
We love visiting Epcot. There park is divided in to two large sections, Future World and World Showcase.
Future World has many different pavilions in it with rides like Soarin' and Test Track. This area has a definite science/education feeling to it, although it is highly entertaining and our kids love it. Future World opens earlier in the day than World Showcase.
World Showcase has pavilions themed from different countries. You stroll around the World Showcase Lagoon taking in Mexico, Japan, UK, Canada and many more!
A great day out for all the family.

Pull off the US 27 and enjoy everything that the Showcase of Citrus has to offer. There is a large farmer's market shop right as you enter, with an amazing variety of citrus products and other goods available.
There are two main must-do's at the Showcase of Citrus. Firstly the large u-pick featuring many different varieties of oranges and other citrus fruits. When you head on in they will let you know what's in season and where to pick from. It's great fun to gather up unbelievably fresh oranges, limes and lemons, they taste amazing! Best kept secret is the honey!
The second must-do is a real adventure, a converted school bus monster truck. This is great fun for all the family!

Getting Around
The major airport for Orlando, this is a busy spot. It can feel quite large, especially if you arrive tired off of a long flight. Transiting through the airport, though, is usually quick and efficient.
Security clearance can get busy, like many airports now, otherwise it's a straightforward gateway for Orlando.
If you are collecting someone at the airport there is a new off-terminal car park with a quick tram connection to the airport, which is very efficient and easy to use and definitely less stressful than trying to collect kerbside.
