If visiting Florida means having fun in the sun, adventure and most of all a memorable experience, than Orlando is for you.

Orlando is centrally located in Florida and has gained a reputation for being an ideal place for a holiday. No matter what you plan to do throughout your holiday in Florida, you are guaranteed to have a splendid time in the Sunshine State.

As a popular central Florida holiday destination, the city of Orlando is most renowned for its outstanding theme parks, water parks, shopping centres and great restaurants.

Holidays in Orlando often involve visiting one, if not many of the world-class attractions. The water parks feature the most exhilarating water rides in the world, and Aquatica™ is close to the famous SeaWorld® Orlando and Discovery Cove to generate three overwhelming underwater life adventures. The water parks include water rides, water slides, rivers and lagoons among various beach areas.

For holidays to Orlando in 2012 a visit to the most famous attraction is a must on any Orlando holiday checklist. Disney Orlando boasts four unique theme parks; two water adventure parks, five golf courses offering 81 holes of golf, two spas, a Disney wedding pavilion, a Disney Wide World of Sports Complex, Downtown Disney, an entertainment shopping and dining complex, Pleasure Island and West Side. There are countless theme park attractions and others include Universal Orlando® Resort, Busch gardens and the Kennedy Space Center.

If you have chosen Orlando as your holiday destination for 2012, the next choice is sure to be accommodation. Villas in Florida are ideal for holidaymakers who are looking for a sense of independence and freedom on their holiday. Away from the chaos of busy resorts, a villa provides a home-from-home experience and generally a more pleasant experience than the confinement of hotels that often encourage its residencies to stay within the hotel for food and entertainment for convenience. Whether your Orlando holiday is on a budget or not, there are standard villas to more luxurious villas depending on the needs of the holiday group to choose from. Often many villas have pools and gardens to relax and sun bathe in, whilst some will have games rooms and spas. Not being tied to a resort gives visitors the option to venture locally or to more afar attractions and restaurants. It can be exciting for visitors to discover a local favourite restaurant or bar that is regularly visited to on holiday as it creates a comfortable and familiar atmosphere. Finding a villa in Orlando for your holiday will allow you and your holiday party to merge into the local surroundings, which most certainly does give a sense of belonging if you are in a local community.
