    Orlando Holidays

    • Overview
    • Things To Do
    • Travel Advice
    • Show Gallery

    Offering world-famous theme parks, supersized shopping malls, and great golfing greens, holidays to Orlando give you a taste of the American dream.

    Theme parks

    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, Disney and SeaWorld Parks. 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. Across at SeaWorld®, meanwhile, you can ride pulse-pounding coasters and meet Sesame Street® characters.

    Tills and tees

    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.

    Beaches

    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.

    The Everglades

    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.

    Upgrade your car with Alamo car hire

    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 Expert for details.

    Destinations in Orlando

    Top Destinations

    • International Drive

      When it comes to International Drive holidays, size does matter. It's on the doorstep of thunderous rollercoasters, mammoth shopping malls, and more restaurants than you can shake a steak at.

    • Kissimmee

      With holidays to Kissimmee, you get the best of both worlds. You're close to the thrills and spills of Walt Disney World Resort and Universal Orlando Resort™, but far enough away when you want a slice of peace and quiet.

    • Lake Buena Vista

      With its magical Disney parades, edge-of-your-seat rides, and fireworks spectaculars, holidays to Lake Buena Vista will stay with you for the rest of your life.

    • Walt Disney World Resort

      Holidays to Walt Disney World Resort in Florida are anything but average. Stay here, and you'll be within striking distance of the magical Disney Parks.

    • Universal Orlando Resort

      Holidays to Universal Orlando Resort aren't just holidays, they're adventures. In the space of a single day you can be a superhero, a movie star, and a wizard.

    • Championsgate

      Holidays to ChampionsGate are all about the Greg Norman-designed golf courses. But with Walt Disney World on your doorstep, there's life outside the greens and fairways.

    • Clermont, Davenport and Haines

      The thrills of Walt Disney World Resort and Universal Orlando Resort™ are within touching distance on holidays to Clermont, Davenport and Haines City. And when you need a bit of R&R, these small towns serve up laidback outdoor living.

    • A tale of 2 coasts

      Land-locked Orlando is around 40 miles from Florida’s Atlantic coast and 80 miles from the Gulf coast, so it takes at least an hour to get to a beach. But the strips of sand in this part of the world make the journey worth your while. To the east of Orlando, you’ve got Cocoa and Daytona Beach, where the sands roll out as far as the eye can see. To the west, there’s Clearwater and St Pete Beach, where the facilities lists fall into the everything-but-the-kitchen-sink categories.

    • The big beach

      Daytona Beach is a supersized strip of sand. It’s 23 miles long and hotel-linen white. If you’ve hired a car for the day, this beach rewards drivers with a car parking space on dedicated parts of the sand. From mid-May to the end of October, there’s an extra incentive to visit. These months are sea turtle season in Daytona and they see hundreds of endangered turtles shuffling ashore to lay their eggs in the sand.

    • The secret beach

      In an area that attracts millions of tourists a year, it’s hard to keep secrets. Somehow, Ormond Beach has found a way to fly just under the radar. That’s not to say it’s deserted, but tourists often overlook it in favour of its more famous neighbour, Daytona Beach. It takes just over an hour to get to this sweep of blonde sand from Orlando, but once you’re here, you’ll want for nothing. There are watersports on tap and plenty of grills and bars within walking distance of the sand.

    • Bargain Buys

      You can buy designer labels and come away with change in Orlando. At Premium Outlets on Vineland Avenue, 15 minutes from International Drive, you can pick up Calvin Klein, Burberry, Prada and Robert Cavalli for a fraction of the recommended retail price. There’s a big village of outlet stores at S Apopka Vineland Road, in Lake Buena Vista, too. The stores include Gap, Tommy Hilfiger, Nine West and Crocs.

    • Mid-Range Buys

      Orlando is shopaholic country. Festival Bay Mall alone features 900,000 square foot of shopping space. If it’s high street brands you’re after, head to Florida Mall on the Orange Blossom Trail. Macy’s department store, Abercrombie and Fitch, and Oakley are just a few of more than a hundred big-name brands here. If you can’t tear yourself from Orlando’s theme parks, you can shop on site. At the Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World Resort there’s a list of shopping opportunities as long as your arm. Try the Agrabaar Bazaar in Adventureland or Big Al’s in Frontierland for all types of Disney-themed merchandise

    • Designer Buys

      When it comes to designer labels, Orlando’s shops put more than their two cents in. Head to The Mall at Millenia on Conroy Road to find labels like Gucci and Tiffany and Co, or make your way to Pointe Orlando on International Drive to browse the rails at Armani. If you’d rather dress your home than yourself, try Lanier’s Historic Market Place on Broadway, Kissimmee. This 18,000 square foot showroom is crammed with antiques.

    • Laid-back evenings

      Family fun is served up in big portions in the Orlando area. Universal City Walk alone offers 30 acres of entertainment. The complex is home to the largest Hard Rock Café in the world, it’s got a 20-screen IMAX, and it’s full of theatres where you can watch cutting-edge shows like the Blue Man Group. Downtown Disney offers a similar selection of things to see and do – one of the highlights is the Cirque du Soleil show. If you want a quiet night in Kissimmee, take the family to the Old Town entertainment complex. It’s a one-stop-shop for amusements, restaurants and live music bars.

    • Lively evenings

      The list of bars and clubs in the Orlando area reads like a register. International Drive is a great starting point. There are hundreds of options here, including an ice bar and a comedy club. Away from this nightlife nucleus, Church Street in Orlando city centre is home to a club designed by Paris Hilton and a bar that specialises in frozen cocktails, and Pine Street is a hot spot for dance clubs.

    • Florida stone crab

      You need all hands on deck to eat Florida stone crab, which is found in the western North Atlantic. The cooked claws of the crab are served with a mallet, which you use to bash open the shells. Once you’ve extracted the meat, it’s customary to dunk it into a side of mustard sauce.

    • Conch chowder

      This robust soup rivals a Picasso painting in terms of colour. It’s made with tomatoes, peppers, carrots, limes, parsley, white wine and conch meat, and the end result is a bright apricot colour. Some restaurants increase the heat of the dish by adding chilli flakes.

    • Key lime pie

      Golf ball-shaped Key limes grow all over the Florida Keys. These fruits are more tart and aromatic than the Persian limes you get in your gin and tonics. To make a Key lime pie, the juice is combined with cream and milk and the mixture is spread over a sweet biscuit base.

    • Tupelo honey

      This sticky syrup is produced in Florida’s panhandle. The amber-coloured honey is made by bees, which collect the nectar from the tupelo tree. Tupelo honey is ambidextrous when it comes to culinary uses. It can be simply spread on toast, used as a sauce for chicken wings, or baked into cakes.

    • Orange juice

      Orange juice became the official state beverage of Florida in 1967. Florida provides 80 per cent of America’s orange juice, and the country is second only to Brazil in the amount of the zesty stuff it produces every year. The brand Florida’s Natural carries particular weight in the industry, because it only uses oranges grown in Florida.
