Universal Studios and Sea World

Universal Orlando and Sea World

Those who take advantage of an Orlando villa rental are likely expecting to spend time at the Walt Disney World Resort. However, there's more to Orlando than just Disney and when you stay in an Orlando holiday villa you'll discover that you have plenty of opportunities to take it all in.

One of these, also located near most homes in Orlando, is the Universal Orlando Resort. The Universal Orlando Resort features two theme parks along with plenty of entertainment options in the event that you're looking for some evening activity - something a bit more lively than a relaxed evening at your luxury villa.

In the evenings, City Walk comes to life. Nightclubs and lounges, shopping, fine dining as well as theatrical performances by The Blue Man Group are sure to provide a memorable experience, as will City Walk's comedy and jazz clubs. Just be careful to not stay out too late; you'll find that evening entertainment at City Walk is nothing in comparison to the excitement that you'll find by day at Universal Orlando's Islands of Adventure.

When you plan to spend the day at Islands of Adventure, you'll want to be sure that the family is all rested up before you head out from your Florida villa. From lighthearted rides to delight the little ones along with rides like The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man to some of the best high speed roller coasters within the United States for the thrill seekers in your family, you'll find that there is plenty of excitement - adventures to entertain the the whole family.

That, of course, is not to say that Universal Studios in Orlando is any less exciting. At Universal Studios, you'll find that you are able to be a part of many of your family's favorite movies. Ride through the sky with E.T. in your bicycle basket or watch as the children explore and interact at The Curious George Goes to Town play area. Feel the earth shake under your feet in a simulated 8.3 earthquake or ride out a tornado in a ride inspired by the film Twister.

When you're ready to calm down, you'll be able to head back to your Orlando villa where you can sit back and enjoy Hollywood films with a new appreciation for the art, or simply relax by your own private swimming pool.

Of course, if the pool at your Orlando villa rental is not enough water for you, perhaps you'll find that SeaWorld Orlando offers more of what you are looking for. There you'll be able to watch as dolphins and Shamu - the famous performing killer whale - accomplish astounding feats, see manatees, sharks, penguins, rays and other sea life. Yet Sea World is not all about the sea; you'll also find that your family can enjoy thrill rollercoaster rides like Kraken or Journey to Atlantis.

Whatever you're looking for during your vacation in Orlando, you are sure to find it. From adventures like those you find in the movies to life under the sea, to sitting back with a novel or listening to you favourite CD by the pool, Orlando has plenty to offer everyone.
