Theme Parks, Amusement Parks and Tourist Attractions    

Disney - The biggest Theme Park in the world. Disney is more a Mini-City than a Park. It consists of several areas (Themed and Shopping) including Downtown Disney where you can visit all the shops and restaurants without having to pay anything. There is a Multi-Screen Cinema, Virgin Mega-Store, Brand-Name clothes stores, cigar shop, memorabilia store and many more.

As well as the rides there is the Nickelodeon Studio and also Woodys, The Hollywood Monster Show, Blues Brothers and much, much more to see.

Island Of Adventure - This is Universal Studios' second Park that includes more rides than ever. It has been suggested that because all the rides are new on IOA it is now a more exciting area than the original Park. The park is split into five areas - namely "Port Of Entry", "Seuss Landing", "The Lost Continent", "Toon Lagoon" and "Marvel Super Hero Island". Each has either a Water Ride or Roller Coaster. Definitely worth a visit!

Blizzard Beach - Florida Sun meets Alpine Snow in the coolest Water Park around.
