Best Things to Do in Orlando-Walt Disney World
Orlando is the sum of its parts, or rather, parks. Most associate the city with one in particular; Walt Disney World, but this mega-resort is actually located approximately 25 miles away in Lake Buena Vista, Fla. If you have several days to devote to Mickey and Minnie's, definitely stop by. But otherwise, consider the many other kid-friendly sites. There's SeaWorld Adventure Park Orlando and its companion site, Discovery Cove, plus the Universal Orlando Resort and its brand new attraction, the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Need a break from the kid stuff? Then check out the Tiffany collection at the Charles Hosmer Morse Museum of American Art, or swing by the Harry P. Leu Gardens.
