Every child is excited when they hear from their parents that they are going to Disney World. It is every kid's dream. Children are truly excited to me going there. Only the Christmas season is probably more exciting to any child.

It's been more than 40 years since Disney World was opened just outside Orlando in Florida. Florida now is home to many, many theme parks including Universal Studios, Sea World, Isles of Adventure and Busch Gardens to name a few in addition to the major Disney World attractions like Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom and Epcot.

There are many activities for children and adults alike at Disney world and when choosing to holiday there, take that into consideration as the area is equivalent to the city of Manchester in the UK. Depending where you are flying from, a two to three week holiday is probably advisable.

Head first to the Magic Kingdom and visit Main street USA. There you will see some of your favorites like Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, and Goofy. Other destinations in the kingdom include Fantasyland, Tomorrowland, Adventureland, Frontierland, and Liberty Square. Be sure also to go in Cinderella's castle and Mickey's Toontown Fair.

Epcot park is known by many for having the giant golf ball structure which can be seen visibly for miles around. The park is interesting as it exhibits countries and cultures from around the globe allocating streets to represent that country. Entertainment is put on and also a chance to sample local cuisines. There are a number of rides to choose from and also a spectacular fireworks show from across the lake.

Animal Kingdom brings an African experience to Florida and gives children the chance to see animals from other parts of the world. It is worth going to Animal Kingdom as early as possible so you can have a leisurely stroll around to stop and admire all the different species of animals.

Looking for Water Fun? Disney has Typhoon Lagoon which has the world's largest wave pool. The theme of the park is a tropical paradise that was hit hard by a typhoon. Another Disney water park is Blizzard Beach. the theme here is that Florida was his by a huge blizzard and a ski resort was built. Now all that is left behind as the snow melted. Not Mount Gushmore provides water for three slopes to slide on.

Be sure to venture out one day to Sea World orlando, home of Shamu the Whale. He puts on one amazing show. See the dolphins, seals, sharks, manatees, turtles, penguins, sea lions,and other sea creatures while you are there. Don't forget the rides, especially their roller coasters. They are some of the South's best.

There are numerous hotels, villas, and apartments to rent around Orlando. As with any holiday, it all depends on the budget. The Magic Castle and Suites is a great choice as far as value for money goes. It has a large children's playground and pool, a complimentary breakfast and park shuttle. Rooms cost between 30 and 50 dollars, and sleep up to five people. It is wise, as when booking any holiday, to do some searching around to try to find the best deal, especially when there are children, as holiday budget is the key word.
