Florida:
When most visitors think of Florida, they think of Miami or Orlando. Walt Disney World`s theme parks are a must see for Florida visitors. Home to a surfeit of world-renowned theme parks, Florida offers an unforgettable family vacation adventure. The spires of Cinderella`s castle are familiar around the world as the symbol of The Magic Kingdom, Disney`s original park in Lake Buena Vista. The castle is a fantastic backdrop for playful rides and roaming characters such as international celebrity, Mickey Mouse. Disney`s Animal Kingdom, its newest adventure park, is filled with the natural drama of life in the wild. Visitors have thrilling encounters with animals from real life, the distant past, and imagination. The latest addition to Disney`s Animal Kingdom is Asia, which showcases the exotic wildlife and lush rain forests of the continent`s southern region. Guests embark on many fascinating journeys, encountering natural mysteries at every turn.  While most visitors spend their time at theme parks and other attractions, some are discovering off-the-beaten-path adventures in small towns and nature preserves. Southeast Florida and The Keys are for big city lights, tiny island treasures and plenty of wonderful vacation spots in-between. Warm, clear, blue-green waters splash the coastline of this region, which takes you from the most remote wilderness to our most cosmopolitan centers. Water fun is everywhere in Central Florida, though it`s not a beach destination. Water Mania, Wet `n Wild, Wild Waters, Disney`s Typhoon Lagoon, Blizzard Beach and River Country are six water parks where visitors can beat the Florida heat and have a slipping, sliding, good time. Florida`s sandy beaches, stellar attractions, historic spaceport, ancient city, everglades, and coral keys are just waiting to be discovered. Northwest Florida--from Pensacola to the Suwannee River--teems with wildlife, historic sites, and summer resorts. Its famed stretch of stark white beaches called the Emerald Coast can be reached via US 98 between Pensacola and Panama City. Also within this region is the state`s capital, Tallahassee, and the tiny fishing villages of Cedar Key, Appalachicola, and Carrabelle. East of the Suwannee River are the breezy seaports, country inns, and historic districts of northeast Florida. Here, visitors discover the birthplace of Florida`s shrimping industry and the nation`s oldest city, St. Augustine. Houseboating, sailing, and fishing are popular on the St. Johns River. Daytona`s world-famous beach and speedway, the Kennedy Space Center, fertile fishing grounds, and several beachside state parks. The Indian River is the site for a zany annual raft race, and it is a fine spot for houseboating and other water sports. Inland, central Florida presents worlds of entertainment: circus clowns, water ski shows, performing killer whales, and massive theme parks. But this region is also home to Thoroughbred horse farms and rolling hills ribbed by groves of citrus. Tours of citrus-processing plants and horse farm country are offered. The state`s central west coast is a region of contrasts, from its posh hotels to some of the best tarpon fishing in the state. Visitors enjoy the docile manatee at Crystal River Springs and the boat cruises of Tampa Bay, as well as Sarasota`s Ringling Museum and Gulf Coast beachcombing. Last stop on a Florida discovery tour is the state`s southwest coast, a myriad of natural beauty with 10,000 islands surrounded by gulf beaches. Featured here are Sanibel and Captiva Islands, the Thomas Edison winter home, and the Everglades National Park. Visit Florida`s Central East region to explore charming communities that retain the laid-back attitude of `Old Florida`, while offering plenty of creature comforts. Pretty beaches, nature preserves abundant with wildlife and vegetation, and an exciting events calendar will keep you pleasantly occupied in this vacationland. Create your dream vacation in the Sunshine State.
