Seldom has a destination captured our imagination as completely as Florida. That it effortlessly combines all those elements we crave for a week or two's well-earned 'me' time - sunny days, sandy beaches and sizzling nightlife - would probably be enough to make the Sunshine State a sure-fire winner. But, not content with the basic holiday ingredients, Florida kept piling on the extras until its plate was brimming over with goodies. The world's premier playground for adults, kids and big-eared mice, package holidays to Florida simply burst with energy. Are you ready for it? 

The F in Florida stands for Fun 

For many, the epicentre of their Florida holiday is also the epicentre of the state - Orlando, International Drive and the Disney, MGM theme parks enjoy an enviable position slap-bang in the heart of the peninsula, with easy access to both coasts. Walt Disney's eight themed parks bristle with cutting edge, stomach-churning rides, fantastic light and sound shows and nightly illuminated processions. They're justifiably the state's premier attraction, but they face tough competition from the MGM stable of theme parks - offering rides and attractions based on your favourite films, and a fascinating back-stage tour through the secrets and special effects of Hollywood. 

All roads lead to International Drive 

Ever wondered what it's like to experience The Dolly Parton American Stampede? Ever wanted to take controls of the Space Shuttle? How about a Medieval banquet, an encounter with sharks and alligators, a night on the Titanic or a swashbuckling interactive pirate show? I-Drive, Florida's hedonistic highway, is the place to head. We've seen many full-on fun zones but, trust us, I-Drive takes the cookie. And if you've a predilection for a bargain, Florida's hangar-like malls and outlets will leave you wide-eyed in wonder. 

From the Gulf to the Savannah
Package holidays to Florida, 2007-style mean that you can enjoy the best of the buzzing theme parks safe in the knowledge that you can save some precious time stretched out on one (or two, or three) of its fabulous beaches. The Gulf Coast is spectacular. Perfectly placed to enjoy night after night of blazing sunsets, the resorts here offer even more opportunities to shop, dance, get active or simply get a great tan. A world away from the throb and buzz of Orlando, the Florida coast is closer in spirit to a stylish European seaside resort, but with those all-important excellent value for money US prices, and a genuinely warm welcome for families. And, when you've worked on your tan, Mickey and friends are only a 90 minute drive away!
