| Orlando Links and Attractions |
Orlando, a beautiful city in
the heart of peninsular Florida that was a quiet farming town just
25 years ago, now has more people passing through than any other
place in the state. Reminders of the old Florida are still easy
to find, though most people get no closer to Orlando's heart than
a string of motels 15 miles south of town. The reason for this is
Walt Disney World Resort, a group of state-of-the-art theme parks
southwest of Orlando pulling 35 million people a year to a previously
featureless 43-square-mile plot of scrubland.
You can walk downtown's sites in a day; away from the small group
of high-rise office buildings, the bulk of the city comprises smart
residential areas enhanced by parks and lakes. But most visitors
spend their time at the theme parks and the big-budget shops and
restaurants located near hotels and the Orange County Convention
Center.
International Drive is worth a short visit for those interested
in gawking at big-budget tourism at its most obscenely creative,
including an F.A.O. Schwartz toy store marked by a 38ft-tall Raggedy
Ann; WonderWorks, a big-budget arcade housed inside a seemingly
upside-down building; and Skull Kingdom, a haunted mansion built
to look like a castle with a skeleton facade emerging from the front
wall. |
