The most famous resident
of this central Florida city is Mickey Mouse,
the cartoon creation of animated movie tycoon,
Walt Disney, whose vision has turned Orlando,
and the adjacent Lake Buena Vista and Kissimee
areas, into the world’s busiest, biggest
and best-known concentrated tourist Mecca.
Disney bought up land
in the area with the aim of establishing his dream
theme park back in the 1960s. He died before the
first park, the Magic Kingdom, officially opened
in 1971, but his legacy has taken root and is
still growing. Currently the Disney empire in
Orlando includes four theme parks, dozens of smaller
attractions, thousands of hotel rooms and holiday
apartments, hundreds of restaurants and snack
bars and even two cruise ships.
It is not only the Disney
dazzle that draws visitors to Orlando. There are
other attractions here too, like Universal Studios
and Sea World, all adding to the maelstrom of
thrills and pleasure palaces that this city is
now renowned for. Just a trip down attraction-rich
International Drive is a mind-boggling experience.
