With nearly 100 attractions offering exciting experiences, you are guaranteed to find a must-do for everyone. Whether this is your first Orlando holiday or a repeat visit, we're sure you'll agree that no place captures the imagination quite like Orlando.
When you think of Florida your thoughts immediately fill with Disney, Cape Canaveral, Universal Studios and of course Seaworld. Some people think that Orlando is just about the Disney Theme Parks, and that it would be “great for the kids to see Mickey Mouse” but its attractions are far reaching and meet the needs of all ages, and don’t forget it’s the UK’s favourite holiday destination.
Lets have a look at the some of the main attractions that you can enjoy whilst on vacation at Mickeys-Mansion . There’s only one place to start and that’s with the major parks.
Disney World has four major parks www.disneyworld.com :

Epcot - As you enter Epcot you are met with the sight of the 180-foot-high geodesic sphere known as Spaceship Earth, the symbol of Epcot.

Epcot is divided into two different 'lands' - Future World, which brings guests face to face with scientific achievements and tomorrow's technologies and World Showcase, which opens the door to cultures from around the globe celebrating the sights, sounds and cuisines from 11 nations.
