Kissimmee is the perfect base camp for a theme park vacation. Located right on Disney’s doorstep and just a short drive from Universal and SeaWorld, you are in the heart of the action. But with so many parks, planning can be overwhelming. Here is your breakdown of the major players.

Walt Disney World Resort
The Vacation Kingdom of the World needs no introduction. It consists of four theme parks: Magic Kingdom (classic fairytales), EPCOT (innovation and culture), Disney’s Hollywood Studios (Star Wars and movies), and Disney’s Animal Kingdom (nature and thrills).
Stay in a Kissimmee vacation home to save significantly on food and lodging, then take a short Uber or drive to the parks.
Universal Orlando Resort
If Disney is about magic, Universal is about adventure. Home to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, Jurassic World VelociCoaster, and Illumination’s Minion Land, this is the place for high-octane thrills.
SeaWorld Orlando
Often underrated, SeaWorld has quietly become the roller coaster capital of Orlando. With Mako (hypercoaster), Kraken (floorless), and the new Pipeline (surf coaster), thrill-seekers cannot miss this park.
