OK, this is a bit weird. I'm a family travel writer who's never seen what is, arguably, the world's Mecca of family travel. I've never been to Orlando.
I know, I know. You can stop gasping, because I'm about to leave for Family Travel Central. I figured it's about time I visit some of those uber-popular family attractions like Disney World, SeaWorld and Universal Studios.
I've always been more the hiking with kids type, or the travel abroad with kids type. We don't do too many theme parks. I must confess, though, I'm pretty intrigued by the offerings there. I know, at the very least, the kids will have a blast.
I've already learned some interesting news. For example, did you know there will soon be a Simpsons ride at Universal Orlando resort? Or that your little ones can attend a Princess and Pirate Party at Disney World (and even get a princess makeover at Cinderalla's Castle beforehand)? Or that SeaWorld is opening the ultimate water park (think water slides in the water, surrounded by tropical fish or dolphins).
Come back very soon, as I share our first-hand family travel experiences in Orlando.
