By: Patrick Jafrey

When it comes to top destinations for the family vacation, nothing beats beautiful Orlando, Florida. The main attraction in this town is undoubtedly the series of parks dedicated to the world's most famous mouse and all his pals! Both the young and the young at heart are sure to enjoy a visit to the fabulous Disney theme parks and water parks that made the tiny Florida town famous in the first place. Create an entire Disney holiday and stay at one of their many themed resorts. Packages are available to fit every size budget.

The "Most Magical Place on Earth" as it is rightly called has transformed Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom into the stratosphere of family oriented theme parks. The Magic Kingdom is just the place to be in if you want to fly around Neverland with Peter Pan and his pals or brave the unknown of Space Mountain. This great theme park has something of interest for kids and adults alike. It has everything from the famous puppets singing the catchy "It's a Small World After All" or just shopping at the many stores on Main Street.

The Animal Kingdom is the latest addition to the Walt Disney World theme parks. It gives a unique twist to the traditional zoo with different sections housing animals native to different continents. You can go on safari in the park's African savannah or plunge down white river rapids in the Asian section. You will get the thrilling experience of rides, attractions, and animals. In addition, you can learn more about different cultures through a variety of shows and educational exhibits at the park.

If movies are your thing, head over to MGM Studios for a sneak peek behind the scenes. Designed like an actual movie studio, you will get the chance to relive your favorite moments from classics like "Singin' in the Rain" and the famous "Star Wars" movies. Go on a tour of the back lot and see how movies are made with great special effects and cool stunts. The highlight of the park is the show, "Fantasmic" where everyone's favorite mouse battles evil like Aladdin's nemesis Jafar and the queen of mean herself, Millicent from "Sleeping Beauty." Also, the more daring crowd will love the "Twilight Zone Tower of Terror" that plunges you towards the earth at startling rates.

Walt Disney vision of the future is showcased in the classic theme park Epcot. So be sure to visit the Epcot by halting at the "Gold Ball", and see the whole world from the confines of Orlando. You would be knowledgeable about China, Mexico, and Norway, their food and culture. The dinosaurs of the Jurassic age are also showcased. The adults would also love this place; particularly test driving the latest model of cars at the park's test track.

If you are into water activities, look no further than the two water parks in Orlando, Disney's Blizzard Beach and Disney's Typhoon Lagoon. A visit to the wave pool will certainly bring out the kid in everyone! Blizzard Beach is a ski resort turned water park, with luges and even a ski jump for daring individuals to take the plunge. Typhoon Lagoon is a lush tropical oasis where you can laze down a river, snorkel with the fishes, or even try your hand at body surfing.

As for lodging, you will find a whole lot of quality theme resorts from the luxurious and upscale Grand Floridian to the most economical All Star resorts.
