Orlando: Oh the Possibilities

  • When your vacation can’t come soon enough, Orlando, Fla., is the perfect place to be. It’s in the heart of the Sunshine State, yet only about an hour from both the east coast’s and gulf’s sparkling beaches.

    Home to the Walt Disney World® Resort and their four unique parks, young travelers can explore the wonder of Magic Kingdom®, adventure to Disney’s Animal Kingdom®, step into the world of Disney’s Hollywood Studios® and soar into space at Epcot®. Adults can also delight in Epcot’s 11 foreign country-themed pavilions, which offer “worlds” of exotic beverages, food and shopping. Strolling through Downtown Disney, you’ll also find exciting entertainment: casual to upscale dining, a multi-plex movie theater and the world-famous Cirque du Soleil. 

    If summer is your calling, no need to beat the heat — join it! Orlando offers a multitude of water parks including Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon and Disney’s Blizzard Beach, home to one of the tallest and fastest free-falling water slides. And if you’re seeking more thrills, look no further than Universal’s Islands of Adventure® where there are countless themed rides, roller coasters, and The Wizarding World of Harry PotterTM. Play a round of golf at one of Orlando’s premier courses, attend a concert or sporting event at the Amway Center and check out the nightlife at Universal CityWalk® — all in one day.

    No doubt after all the activities you’ll be worn out and seeking a comfortable home base. CLUBWYNDHAM has five resorts in the Central Florida area: Orlando International Resort Club, Star Island, Wyndham Bonnet Creek Resort, Wyndham Cypress Palms and Wyndham Vacation Resorts Reunion at Orlando. No matter which one you choose, you’re sure to find a relaxing experience, where memories to be made are practically in your neighborhood — just minutes away.
