SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE

Our condos are just 8 minutes from Disney World and located within Champions Gate, which is just off Exit 58 on I-4.

The Magic Kingdom Park

The Magic Kingdom park is what usually springs to mind for most people when you mention Disney World, probably because it was the first of the four parks to be opened (in 1971). The park does get busy, so get there early and you'll see so much more. Stop by the home of the world's most famous mouse in 'Mickey Toontown Fair' and have a look at where the big cheese actually lives. Take a thrill ride across the galaxy on 'Space Mountain', explore the ghostly happenings at the 'Haunted Mansion', or prepare to get wet with Brer Rabbit and friends on 'Splash Mountain'. Do try and catch one of the wonderful parades featuring some of your favourite Disney characters, and don't come home before you've seen the fireworks high above Cinderella Castle. It's a long day, but an absolute must! [ More » ]

Disney's Animal Kingdom

Disney's Animal Kingdom, opened in 1998, is the most recent addition to Walt Disney World Resort and is the largest Disney theme park in the world. Animal conservation was a subject close to Walt Disney's heart and the creators of the park have designed it around this theme, which makes the Animal Kingdom a great combination of the magic and fun of Disney and the beauty and splendor of Mother Nature. Ride 'Kilimanjaro Safaris' where the animals are almost close enough to touch. Come face to face with a magnificent troop of gorillas, or travel back in time on 'Dinosaur'. [ More » ]

If it's clubbing you're into, then head over to Downtown Disney Pleasure Island. 'Mannequins' is a dance palace of epic proportions for over 21s, but there's jazz, comedy, hip hop, and country and western on offer as well. Visit the 'Adventurers Club', a little on the wacky side with its off the wall look at life in the 'Raj', then head outside with your family for a non-stop street party with live shows and fireworks.

The Disney water parks

'Blizzard Beach' and 'Typhoon Lagoon' - are great fun and suitable for all ages. Make sure you have sun block with you and keep re-applying it at regular intervals.
