Destination Summary
Orlando is the theme park capital of America. The most popular of these fantasy lands is, of course, Walt Disney World, the planet's one true Mickey Mouse attraction. A vast and staggering logistical achievement, the park breaks down into four separate zones (the Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, Disney-MGM Studios, and Epcot), and can constitute a somewhat unreal holiday in itself.
Then there's the Universal Studios park, whose grasp of history extends only as far as rides based on the blockbusters of the 1980s (Back to the Future), early 90s (Terminator 2 3D, Jurassic Park River Adventure), and late 90s (Men In Black Alien Attack). Don't go expecting a hydraulic Battleship Potemkin or an IMAX version of Jules Et Jim.
Orlando does boast plentiful natural features, most notably a series of springs and lakes (most notably Apopka and Tohopekaliga) mercifully free from men dressed as cartoon characters. Yet even nature has been corralled here. It's less Disneyfied over at the croc-tastic Gatorland, but the region's most popular attractions of this ilk are Sea World and Discovery Cove, a replica tropical island boasting the very best of the life aquatic.
If space is more your thing, there's the Kennedy Center to the east of the city, and Skycoaster, a spectacular gravity-defying ride. Those without a head for heights, astronomical or otherwise, might want to stick to the ever-popular Cirque de Soleil, and watch other people conquering their vertigo...

James Says
Note that because of Orlando's development in recent years as a tourism resort, rather than as a major centre of population, the city does not have a major hub presence for any American carriers, and consequently there are no USA-based airlines offering non-stop flights are. There are, however, plenty of opportunities for connecting flights to Orlando from numerous UK departure points via hubs such as Atlanta or New York.
Mark Says
Getting around the Orlando area by public transport is nigh on impossible. Walking in these parts is not considered normal behaviour - the car really is king.
