Orlando Hotels, Flights and Travel

When you think of Orlando, the first thing that probably comes to mind is Disney World.  Though actually located about 35 miles south of Orlando, the Disney resorts and theme parks draw millions of visitors to the area every year to enjoy their world famous rides and attractions. 

For those visitors looking for amusements closer to Orlando or the Orlando convention center, there are a variety of other theme parks and attractions to enjoy as well.  Universal Orlando Resort and SeaWorld Orlando are located within easy distance of the hotels along International Drive, and if you’re looking to make a splash, you can cool down at the Wet ‘N Wild water park. 

Whether you want to fill a few days around a convention or to plan a week of fun for the family, Orlando can make those dreams come true.
