Orlando Holidays

Orlando is the undisputed theme park capital of the world. More than 50,000 acres of turf in the region are covered by amusement parks, and the lion’s share is owned by famous names like Universal and Disney. There are more rollercoasters out here than there are days in the month. The whitest knuckle rides launch you from 0 to 40 miles per hour in as few as two seconds. There’s plenty for families, too – meet ups with Mickey Mouse and tours of Cinderella Castle are just the start of the story.

There’s more to Orlando than rollercoasters and rides. You could spend an entire week just shopping and restaurant-surfing here. International Drive alone is home to more than 500 different stores and 150 bars and restaurants. There’s enough golf around Orlando to keep you busy 24-7, too. There are at least 1,000 different greens in the region and many of them, like Celebration Golf Course, near Kissimmee, and Hawkes Landing, near Lake Buena Vista, are fit for the pros.

On top of all that, Orlando is just an hour’s drive from a coastline that slinks down Florida’s east coast for almost 500 miles. The state’s beaches don’t do things by halves, either. At Cocoa Beach and Daytona Beach, there are watersports and beach bars on tap.

Finally, the Everglades are the natural yin to the man-made yang of Orlando’s theme parks. The unspoilt wetlands and mangroves here spread out for more than 1.5 million acres, and they’re home to rare species of animal, like the American crocodile and the Florida panther.

With so much to do and see in Orlando, the best way to get everything on your wish list done is by car. A smooth ride ensures you get prime spots on all the top theme park rides and beaches. To get you on the road, Alamo offer a wide range of vehicles upgrades to suit your holiday, from SUVs to convertibles and from 8 to 15-seater vans. Look for the upgrade options when you book online or ask your Travel Advisor for details.
