Two- or Three-Night Stay at Florida Deluxe Villas in Greater Orlando

Spacious Town Homes with Shuttle Access to Disney

Orlando is the undisputed theme-park capital of the world?it's home to Walt Disney World, Universal Studios, SeaWorld, and a slew of smaller family-friendly attractions, making it feel otherworldly at times. Florida Deluxe Villas' town homes and condos, meanwhile, have a homey feel to them. Many of the homes have individual owners. The three-bedroom town homes and the two- and three-bedroom condos are all outfitted with eat-in kitchens, Internet access, washers and dryers, and cozy living rooms. And nearby, you can find clubhouses that feature fitness centers, jacuzzis, pools, and saunas.

Florida Deluxe Villas also serves as an entertainment curator; a concierge is on duty at the welcome center 24 hours a day to assist you. As a Disney-authorized independent retailer, the concierge can sell tickets to the theme parks as well as discounted admission to other area attractions and dinner shows. A shuttle service ($15?$50 for five people, depending on destination) ferries groups to a number of attractions, with possible stops including Disney World's four theme parks and two water parks.

Kissimmee, Florida: Easy Access to Walt Disney World and Major Orlando Attractions

The town homes that make up Florida Deluxe Villas are scattered throughout Kissimmee, the city directly adjacent to Walt Disney World. Disney's Hollywood Studios captures the magic of moviemaking at attractions such as The Great Movie Ride and during shows such as Muppet*Vision 3-D. On the Studio Backlot tour, you can take a 35-minute guided tour through a prop warehouse and experience a simulated disaster in Catastrophe Canyon.

Nearby is Disney's Blizzard Beach water park, which resembles a frosty ski resort. Chairlifts here whisk you to the top of a freefalling water slide known as Summit Plummet, and kids can slide down faux ice luges at Tike's Peak or take a face-first ride down the Toboggan Racers slide.

Outside of Disney World, the greater Orlando area is stuffed with other theme parks, including Universal Studios Florida, Universal's Islands of Adventure, and SeaWorld. For a break from the crowds, take a drive up to the town of Winter Park, which has a Saturday farmers' market, designer boutiques, and scenic boat tours along Lake Osceola.

$19 for a SkyCoaster Flight at Fun Spot USA in Kissimmee (Up to $40 Value)

Massage and mediation are the most common forms of stress relief, but now more and more people are turning to shriek therapy. Scream your worries away with this Groupon.

$19 for a SkyCoaster Flight for One (Up to $40 Value)

  • Combines skydiving and hang gliding in one swinging motion
  • World's tallest sky coaster (300 ft. drop)
  • Fall as fast as 80 mph
  • Named one of Travel Channel's Extreme Terror Rides

Fun Spot USA

To really understand what Fun Spot is all about, you only need to watch the commercial blooper reel by owner John Arie on the website. In this two-minute reel, John flubs his lines about go-karts, mishandles his props, and chides his off-camera director for being a stickler while teacups spin in the background. Despite his mistakes, the smile never leaves his face; it's not surprising that the motto of the action park is "Life is Great!"

The family-friendly amusement park has the charm of a small-town carnival, but the colorful adventure never packs up and leaves. There are activities for kids, such as a bounce castle, a fun slide, and an arcade, but where Fun Spot really makes its name is with its thrilling ride for adults. The SkyCoaster, which is part skydive simulator and part hang glider, harnesses up to three screamers and slowly pulls them up 300 feet in the air before dropping them above the park at 80 miles per hour.

Speedsters can also head over to a series of go-kart tracks that keep riders pushing pedals through banked bowls and hairpin curves on a multilevel track. The park rounds out its attractions list with bumper cars, a tilt-a-whirl, and the invisible waves at Surf's Up.

Adventurers grab hold of handles, launch off with the help of a plane, and soar into the skies above the Orlando metro area.

Sportations

Sportations connects amateur adrenaline jockeys to certified professional adventurers, drawing from a nationwide network of aeronauts and speed demons to introduce habitual pedestrians to the wonders of skydiving, ballooning, hang gliding, and stock-car racing. Thrill seekers can zipline across a forest canopy, hollering like Tarzan or taunting nearby birds until they agree to race. Helicopter tours ferry patrons skyward over landmarks and cityscapes, whereas paragliding adventures get up close and personal with blue skies and clouds. For most sports, Sportations accommodates groups of any size, from physics classes empirically proving gravity's existence to solo ballooning supervillains declaring dominion over all they see.

Two-Night Stay in a One- or Two-Bedroom Estate Villa at Reunion Resort near Kissimmee

Golf Courses and Water Park on Gated Property Close to Disney

One of the most truly magical experiences at the Magic Kingdom in Disney World is the nightly fireworks display. Tinker Bell flies to the top of Cinderella's castle, the music soars, the sky turns a dozen different colors, and you're instantly transported back to childhood. But you don?t have to be in the park to see the pyrotechnics. The whole thing is visible from the towers of Reunion Resort, located just 6 miles away.

Reunion guests have easy access to Orlando?s theme parks and a slew of activities onsite as well. The resort has its own water park?complete with a 1,000-foot-long lazy river?and three 18-hole golf courses, each designed by a legend of the game: Jack Nicklaus, Tom Watson, and Arnold Palmer. Watson?s Independence course reflects his love of British-style play with more than a dozen types of native grasses and rolling hills lined with azaleas and camellias. Nicklaus?s Tradition course, meanwhile, cuts through a nature preserve and former citrus grove where wild turkeys and armadillos have been spotted among the pines.

Two of the courses? clubhouses are located steps from the 11-story Reunion Grande tower, where Estate Villa suites can be found. Each comes with a private balcony and fully equipped kitchen for in-room dining. The resort?s restaurants and snack bars, on the other hand, provide numerous options for out-of-room dining. The Eleven lounge on the top floor specializes in American cuisine, but its major draws are handcrafted cocktails and a rooftop pool with views of Orlando.

Reunion, Florida: Sun-Drenched Community near Orlando?s Amusement Parks

Located just southwest of Orlando, Reunion lies less than 30 minutes from central Florida's most popular attractions, including Disney World, SeaWorld, and Universal Studios. At the latter?s Wizarding World of Harry Potter, you can peruse Zonko's Joke Shop, sip butterbeer at Three Broomsticks, and speed through the sky on the Flight of the Hippogriff ride. Orlando may be known for its amusement parks, but the restaurant scene is starting to garner attention. Celebrity chef Emeril Lagasse and James Beard Award?winner Norman Van Aken both have restaurants here. Many local eateries offer fresh seafood from the Atlantic and incorporate the flavors of Caribbean nations such as Cuba and Jamaica.

Trend Studios Orlando

As co-owners of Trend Studios Orlando, Matthew Bengston and Anthony Cortes have cultivated a business that reflects their own areas of expertise. Matthew brings his skills as a stylist to the hair salon, where he and his team cut men?s and women?s hair, add highlights, and lengthen locks with extensions. For his part, Anthony draws on his talents as a teeth-whitening and airbrush-tanning specialist to oversee those branches of the studio. Both Matthew and Anthony go out of their way to ensure a comfortable experience for clients: Anthony?s airbrush tans, for example, employ an Evolv. Sidekick tanning system that warms up its tanning solution before gently misting skin. For the spa services in which they do not specialize, Matthew and Anthony employ a knowledgeable staff that performs massages, waxing treatments, and a cappella renditions of the spa?s relaxing soundtrack.
