Did you Know?

Orlando ranks only behind San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York, and Miami as the most visited United States city by foreign travelers. And it ranks only behind Las Vegas for most hotel rooms.

Orientation:

Located in central Florida, Orlando lies just 50 miles from the Atlantic Ocean and 75 miles from the Gulf of Mexico. For what it lacks in beaches it more than makes up with theme parks. Disney World, Universal Studios, Sea World, Cypress Gardens and Epcot Center are just a few of many parks that elevate Orlando into must-visit status. All are located southeast of Orlando along International Drive (I-Drive).2008-08-02T07:29:22.000 75
