The Finer Points of Orlando

Perhaps you’re ready to fulfill your duties as matriarch by bringing the family to a well-known destination that promises spectacle, diversions and plenty of big-time thrills. Most would agree that Orlando is a place that lives up to the hype, and you have to admit that you’re curious to see what all the fuss is about.

Several obvious attractions have helped to give this vortex of energy its sterling reputation; Disney, Universal Studios, SeaWorld, etc… but you probably know all about that. Stopping by these locales will allow you to cross a few important items off the list, but in case you’re interested in what else is out there, there’s a pretty impressive selection to consider.

Expand your Florida horizons by venturing away from the norm – after having your fill of Mickey and Co., visit the World of Orchids for a foray into a land of warmth, waterfalls, and more exotic birds and delicate flowers than cartoon characters, that’s for sure. Breathe deeply and relish the chance to enjoy a hidden gem before moving along to the next big thing.

…Which could be a neighborhood called Little Saigon, where you can find authentic Asian cuisine, Gatorland, a classic Sunshine State standby, or the Cornell Fine Arts Museum, which charges no admission. Experiencing the unexpected, in a good way, is what a successful vacation is all about.

In addition to mixing things up as far as your itinerary goes, extend the favor to your lodgings. Instead of taking the usual route, pick out a unique condo, house or villa that fits your budget, taste and family’s needs. With hundreds of vacation rentals to choose from you’re sure to find the one that’s right for you and yours, and this will be just another way that you give this vacation a bit of a boost.

Just about everyone has visited Disney/Orlando at some point, but only a select few bother to give tradition an innovative spin. Don’t blindly follow the crowd; make this getaway your very own by planning to throw in a few surprises that you and your companions will surely enjoy.
