Listed below a little taster of each of the main theme parks, where possible links are provided to their websites.

WALT DISNEY WORLD

The most famous theme park in the world and deservedly so. The four main parks all provide at least a full day entertainment so fill up your tank, get there early and enjoy.

THE MAGIC KINGDOM

And magical it still is after more than 30 years. If you can get here out of peak season then it is possible to see most of it in a day. Nothing here is 'white knuckle' but every last detail thought of to give you a memory to last for years. Worth being there in the evening for the 'Spectrum' parade, which does not operate every night so plan ahead. The favorite of the young children but still something for everyone.

EPCOT


Visit the world in a day, both present and future. Science it may be but very entertaining. Possible to get round in a day, then stay to the end of the day for the firework and laser display.


MGM STUDIOS

Disney's look behind the scenes of film making from animation to TV to action movies, it's all there. Where fiction meets reality......or is it the other way around?


ANIMAL KINGDOM

WDW newest park leaves you at times believing that you really are on safari. Still a couple of good rides and a 3D show to remember, best visited on a cooler day when the animals are not hiding in the shade.

UNIVERSAL STUDIOS

Similar to MGM, regarded by many as better. Home to Jaws, ET, Back to the Future, King Kong and loads more.

1999 saw the opening of the new Universal Adventure Park, home to a host of new rides and spectacular roller coasters.
Also home to the worlds largest Hard Rock Cafe, where regular rock concerts are staged.

SEAWORLD

Home to Shamu the World's best known killer whale and a host of other amphibious mammals. The latest of the big splash rides Journey to Atlantis opened here in 1998. A couple of other good rides, the opportunity to get close up to and feed the dolphins plus excellent shows.

CYPRESS GARDENS

Beautiful botanic gardens, especially during the winter months. Always something going on here, this was the first of Central Florida's theme parks.

No white knuckles here - unless you are scared of heights - just a 150 foot platform hoist 'Eye in the Sky' giving stunning views, a serene boat trip and the world famous Cypress Gardens ski shows.
