What Orlando is like
Orlando is home to Walt Disney World, Universal Orlando and SeaWorld, and most visitors come for the parks. Flights from Heathrow land at Orlando International, about half an hour from the main parks; TUI flies to Orlando Melbourne airport on the Space Coast, about an hour and a quarter's drive away and close to the Kennedy Space Center and Atlantic beaches.
