About
About Orlando
Orlando holds the crown nobody contests: more world-class theme parks in one place than anywhere on the planet, from castle fireworks to wizarding streets to coasters built for bragging rights. An hour east, real rockets launch from Cape Canaveral. Between park days, springs, gators, and outlet malls fill the gaps.
