Here is what I think are the top Orlando attractions whenever we head to the middle of the Sunshine State...

There is so much to see and things to do in Orlando Florida that is deserves a spotlight all its own.

Walt Disney World is at the top of the list with its four amazing theme parks. Magic Kingdom, the oldest of the four theme parks, is where it all began.

With its iconic castle, children’s rides and loveable classic friends such as Pooh and Cinderella this park is a must.

Epcot theme park, formerly known as Epcot Center, is literally a world of adventure with its World Showcase Adventure attraction that highlights several countries to include China, France and Italy. Its fun and learning all wrapped into one fabulous place.

Next is Disney’s Hollywood Studios or formerly known as MGM Studios. For movie buffs and thrill seekers alike Hollywood Studios is a fun place to be.

The kids can run around in a playground dedicated to the theme of the movie, “Honey I Shrunk the Kids,” where everything is bigger than life.

The final theme park that is sure to be loved by everyone is Disney’s Animal Kingdom with its awesome Kilimanjaro Safaris attraction.

Here you can take a safari ride to see numerous African animals in a setting as natural looking as the African Savannah itself.

Mouse ears aside the second top attraction in Orlando is Sea World with shows, rides and so much more. It would be unimaginable to leave without a visit to see, none other than, Shamu the killer whale.

For the thrill seekers in your family don’t miss the roller coaster that has been ranked the world’s top ten by riders, Kraken. There are also interactive tours where you can see a puffin up-close and touch a dolphin. If you’re feeling a little swash buckled let’s move on to Universal Studios’ Island of Adventure.

Universal Studios’ Islands of Adventure Park, our third top destination, is based around five different themed islands. On Marvel Super Hero Island you can experience a Spiderman 3D adventure thrill ride and the Incredible Hulk Coaster.

In Toon Lagoon it’s all about the water with the Ripsaw Falls flume ride, the Popeye and Bluto splashing raft ride.

Jurassic Park hosts a discovery center where you can watch raptor eggs hatch, play games and have fun in their hands-on interactive area.

At The Lost Continent you can visit the ancient temple of Poseidon, watch the Sinbad show or ride the world’s first inverted dueling roller-coasters, the Dueling Dragons.

The last destination, Seuss Landing, boasts strange creatures and strange adventures such as a couch ride through pages of famous children's books. What more could one ask for?

Our fourth top Orlando Florida attraction is none other than the Kennedy Space Center Visitors Complex. Your mind will be in awe here as you tour launch areas, see giant rockets, view a launch and meet a real astronaut.

There are also spaceflight simulators and the IMAX Theater where you can view IMAX films. What better way to combine education and fun.

The number five top spot on our list is Discovery Cove, a 30-acre tropical beach retreat. A bathing suit is a must at this magical full-day adventure where you can explore a tropical reef first-hand by swimming among one.

There’s Serenity Bay with its 80-degree temperatures and sparkling freshwater fun. There are things to do on land as well when you visit Explorer’s Aviary where birds sometimes come to eat treats from your hand. And last but not least is the opportunity for swimming with dolphins in Florida.
