Should we even mention Orlando’s theme parks? Just a peek into their alternate realities is enough to deliver a dose of FOMO so large you’ll find yourself wearing a pair of mouse ears on a rollercoaster quicker than you can say Walt who? But you’ve got to hand it to history’s most famous cartoonist and big-thinker. Snapping up those Orlando acres really paid off. With a world of entertainment from competitors surrounding his empire, it’s sometimes difficult to see anything else. But Orlando is quietly going about its city life under the nightly firework displays. Museums, art galleries and farmers markets are well represented. As are golf courses, where the Sunshine State’s notoriously glorious weather has beckoned more than a few big names in the game, over the years. 

Out of the city, communities and parks are the places to amble, cycle or horse ride through. Though, even here, Disney has made its mark. If you swing by Celebration, you’ll see the corporation’s idea of utopia. And, spoiler alert, it does look rather nice. You can’t ever really escape the fun side of this city though. And why would you want to? Every entrepreneur comes here trying to build bigger, better and more joyful experiences than the last. All you have to do is enjoy every last second of it.

Weather in Orlando

The best time to visit Orlando? Some would say it’s when the coaster queues are at their shortest. We’d tend to agree. Fly in from January to April, but swerve Spring Break and Easter to avoid the worst of the crowds and the hottest weather.

Discover the Real Orlando

Is the real Orlando found on the Main Street of the Magic Kingdom? It’s hard to tell. So intertwined are the theme parks with the city. Disney has left its mouse-mark just about everywhere, but there is an Orlando entirely without turnstiles that warrants snuffling out.

Theme parks have to be top of the list for everyone who jets into Orlando. Fantasy worlds that instantly drop the most jaded of us into an alternate reality that’s hard not to love. Away from the coasters? Orlando’s next big draw is the wildlife. Still looking for more? Art and culture should be at the top of your list.

Orlando, and its theme parks, have a rep for junk food, fries and sugar-coated works of wonder. Yes, those items are definitely still on the menu – and even more calorie-stuffed than before, but there’s been a shift in focus. Chefs across the city – even in the parks, have upped their gourmet game.

If ever there was a city where even the most experienced travellers could use a few hints, it’s Orlando. Whether you’re looking for the best time to hit the parks, where to find a bargain on International Drive or how to pick and choose a fortnight’s worth of fun, Orbzii’s got Orlando covered.

More of Florida

The sunshine state. Where American’s go to do … just about everything. Retire in style, party for spring break or have the most fun possible in a sprawling world created by a man who drew the world’s most famous mouse. And, it’s highly recommended that you join them. The coastline is seemingly endless and has the rarest of attributes – untouched sands. In land, things get a smidge swampy in places but the Everglades hold treasures best seen from a surprisingly flimsy-looking hovercraft.
