Not to be missed
Kissimmee is well known for its smaller, one-of-a-kind shops where you’ll find some real gems and one-off gifts. The shopping centre of Belz Factory Outlet is worth a visit.

For the thrill seeker in you, make sure you take a ride on the world’s largest sky coaster standing at 300ft tall, we dare you!
Non drivers
We understand that even in the land that invented the automobile, not everyone likes to drive, so why not take our convenient FREE transfer coach from the airport to any hotel in the Kissimmee area*.
*We regret our transfer coaches cannot drop off at the Fantasy World Club Villas, Villas of Somerset & Laguna Bay or the Oak Plantation Villas.
Please see the individual hotel descriptions for their proximity to restaurants and bars. Many offer FREE scheduled transport to the parks.
For a perfect hassle-free way to explore your surroundings hop on a lynx bus. Running every 30 min up and down Highway 192, these colourful, comfortable buses provide a great service. Alternatively, see a member of our resort team in Orlando and they can arrange any number of great value transfer vouchers to take you between your hotel and all the attractions you want to visit.
