The Kissimmee area lies to the south of I-Drive, not far from the magic of Walt Disney Resort. This means that not only does the area have easy access to all the major theme parks; it also has a great range of family friendly activities of its own to offer whilst you are on vacation.

In the area you will find Kissimmee Old Town, which is a mix of shopping, restaurants and amusement rides. Or choose from over 300 restaurants plus some great dinner shows and other evening entertainment. For golf lovers try the easy going Mystic Dunes or the very upmarket Omni Resort at Champions Gate, both on your doorstep.
