Perfect Orlando Holidays

LONDON, July 29, 2011 -

Virgin Holidays are the UK’s leading tour operator to Florida and with 25 years experience you can rely on us to package up your perfect Orlando experience; the problem may be fitting everything in! A bit of prior planning goes a long way, so get some kind of rough itinerary together (after all, the anticipation is all part of the excitement!). But there’s a lot more to Orlando holidays than theme parks. The region is a top destination for golf lovers of all abilities and home to 8 major shopping malls offering everything from designer shopping to delicious international cuisine.

The Disney Yacht club is one of Disney’s deluxe resort hotels with perhaps the best pool complete at WALT DISNEY WORLD Resort, this is bound to be a sure-fire hit with the kids! There are over 3 acres of watery fun to get to grips with, featuring water slides and whirlpools galore. Classic surroundings recall the lazy days of summer along the Eastern Seaboard with deluxe accommodation and outstanding amenities the order of the modern day! EPCOT and Disney’s BoardWalk are within walking distance of the Disney Yacht club and, of course, you can easily explore all the other theme parks using the WALT DISNEY WORLD Transportation System. Top restaurant is the Yachtsman Steakhouse bedecked with boating memorabilia, although younger members of the family will love the Beaches and Cream Soda Shop!

The Best Western Orlando Gateway is an AAA 3-diamond, full service, family-friendly hotel and enjoys a prime location, just across the road from Wet ‘n Wild®. If that wasn’t enough the Best Western Orlando Gateway is less than a mile from Universal Orlando® Resort. What’s more, you don’t have to take the car everywhere you go, as there’s a COMPLIMENTARY shuttle service to Universal Orlando® Resort, SeaWorld® and Discovery Cove®, so let someone else take the strain for a change! After a busy day at the theme parks, you can enjoy the benefits of recently refurbished rooms, a brand new fitness centre and the kids can cool off in the sparkling pool whilst you enjoy a soak in the hot tub. Ideal for families, the Best Western Orlando Gateway offers everything you need plus a little bit more to feel at home straightaway.

Within easy reach of all I-Drive attractions, the Springhill Suites International Drive are also just steps away from SeaWorld® with Aquatica(TM) is just across the road. Suites are modern, well-furnished and extremely spacious, providing the perfect base from which to explore your surrounds. Amenities at the Springhill Suites International Drive include an outdoor swimming pool for cooling off in after a busy day complete with children’s section and whirlpool. There’s also a fitness centre if you’re not getting enough exercise dashing around those theme parks! A COMPLIMENTARY continental breakfast is served each morning so, tuck in and get the day off to a great start. Splash Bar & Grill offers typical American classics as does TGI Friday’s, which also does a mean cocktail. For delicious Starbucks® coffee, look no further than the Springhill Lounge, a great place to relax with friends. There are various other bars and restaurants close by the Springhill Suites International Drive to tempt you as well as shopping malls with discount bargains galore, simply hop on the I-Trolley and work your way from top to bottom!

Vista Cay Resort near Universal Resort Orlando® is a gated holiday resort, located along Universal Boulevard, parallel to the lively International Drive so perfect with families with young children. The apartments at Vista Cay Resort are spacious, well furnished with tasteful décor and all the usual amenities. Relax by the pool which overlooks picturesque Lake Cay making you feel worlds away from the fun and frolics of the theme parks. Vista Cay Resort has some great features to make your stay more fun, there’s a spacious pool area complete with children’s splash pool and a relaxing jacuzzi, a basketball court and fitness centre for those wishing to stay in shape, and a games room to keep the kids occupied with a game or two of pool while you’re in the business centre, emailing everyone at home to tell them how great your holiday is!
