Destination information
The only problem with Orlando holidays is finding enough time to visit every attraction. We guarantee you’ll leave wanting to see more. A bit of prior planning goes a long way, so get some kind of rough itinerary together (after all, the anticipation is all part of the excitement!). But there’s a lot more to Orlando holidays than theme parks. The region is a top destination for golf lovers of all abilities and home to 8 major shopping malls offering everything from designer shopping to delicious international cuisine.
Package holidays to Orlando are based in 5 broad areas - each with its own benefits. You can stay within the WALT DISNEY WORLD Resort area in one of the Disney hotels. The other areas are Kissimmee - which is great value and, since its beautification project, is easy to walk around. International Drive is the centre of the action, with lots of bars, restaurants and, of course, Wet 'n Wild Orlando. Universal Orlando Resort is perfect for making the most of the state-of-the-art theme parks and entertainment on site, while Lake Buena Vista is an attractive, green landscape very close to Disney, where we have a full selection of hotels and suites. We also have private houses in the Orlando area for a more independent experience.

Our Top 4 hotels
It's nice to have a bit of space, and this hotel sits in 24 acres of it. The grounds include not only 3 pools and 2 kids' pools, but also an 18-hole mini-golf course. Who can resist having a go at that?
Perhaps you'll enjoy a sundowner in Hurricane Sam's, overlooking the lake. You can eat there too, and there are also plenty of restaurants an easy drive away.
Having only opened its doors in 2006, the Lake Buena Vista Resort Village has already become a firm favourite with guests, thanks to its supreme location and first-class amenities. Guests can enjoy condominium-style accommodation with all the comforts and conveniences of home.
As well as spacious and well-equipped apartments, the Hawthorn Suites offers a whole load of fabulous extras, including COMPLIMENTARY shuttle service to WALT DISNEY WORLD Resort, a daily hot American buffet breakfast and a 2 hour social reception with COMPLIMENTARY wine, beer and hors d'oeuvres Mon through to Thu, so you can make friends with your fellow guests!...
The villas we offer in Orlando are very comfortable, well-designed properties that will be a fantastic base for your adventures. They have
American kitchens with all those great gadgets and there's a garage to keep your car cool. Best of all, you get a screened swimming pool, perfect for cooling off in after a day at the theme parks.
