Attractions Orlando, Florida: Orlando, Florida, the world´s biggest playground, was named in honor of Orlando Reeves, an army sentry killed during the first Seminole War. What began in the 1830´s as an army outpost grew into an agricultural supply line with the expansion of The South Florida Railroad. Orlando became a center for cattle, cotton, and citrus plantations. Very secretly, beginning in the early 60´s, an anonymous investor bought thousands of acres of what was then farmland, orange groves, and swamp marshes. News of this activity reached the press, and he was forced to divulge his plan to build a one hundred million dollar resort and theme park. He envisioned an oasis where travelers could take their families and live out the kind of fantasies he had as a child. Walt Disney´s secret was out, and the hysteria surrounding the possibility of a tourism center in Central Florida caused civic leaders to grant special zoning laws to help bring his dream to fruition. In 1971 Disney World opened its doors.

Attractions / Restaurants: The resort boasts a clubhouse with gathering, exercise, and game rooms, community swimming pool, spring-fed lake, and an offshore sun beach with a scenic fishing deck offering a breathtaking view of Lake Berkley. Other attractions include a playground, tennis court, volleyball, and walking/biking paths. The home is conveniently located within walking distance of a 24-hour superstore and an unending variety of restaurants including Medieval Times. Serious shoppers can shop until they drop at the fabulous Florida Mall and the new Mill World attractions are nearby, including the Walt Disney Magic Kingdom, Universal Studios, MGM Studios, Epcot Center, Animal Kingdom, Sea World, Busch Gardens, water parks, and the Kennedy Space Center. (The main entrance to Disney World is less than a ten-minute drive away!) Some of the world's best golf courses are located in the area.

Adventure: If you want a bit of nationalism during your vacation, take a day and head east, approximately fifty miles, to Cape Canaveral, home of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), and the John F. Kennedy Space Center. Follow a history of how the space program began and its successes and failures that brought it to its current status as one of the most advanced research centers in the world. Talk to an active astronaut and find out what it´s like to leave the security of Earth and frolic in outer space. Florida may be known as 'The Sunshine State', but for people seeking an active vacation with a little bit of adventure, Orlando, 'The City Beautiful', just may be the brightest spot.

With over 80 courses catering to every skill level, duffers and low handicappers can play loops designed by famous golf architects like Tom Fazio, Robert Trent Jones, and Jack Nicklaus.
