Disney World is for the young and young at heart, but it has a grown-up side too. Adults will find a surprising number of enticing activities and superb restaurants in Disney World’s four unique theme parks and two water parks. It is possible to spend your entire vacation relaxing at Orlando vacation homes, golfing on championship courses, playing tennis on world-class courts, jet skiing across blue lagoons, sunning on sandy beaches, relaxing at world-class spas, dining in fine restaurants and rocking out at a concert without ever putting foot in the Magic Kingdom; but if you do, you’ll miss part of the fun of an adult vacation at Disney World.

Even if you’ve outgrown your mouse ears, a few hours at the Magic Kingdom is a delightful stroll down memory lane. You won’t be able to resist the Pirates of the Caribbean or Space Mountain. The most thrilling rides are at Hollywood Studios where you can peek behind the scenes to see how Disney magic is made. The Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular is high-octane fun, and don’t miss the new Star Tours for adventure in a galaxy far, far away. Animal Kingdom is a surprising adult favorite. Safari past African beasts, journey down dense jungle paths or sign on for Expedition Everest, a seriously stomach-dropping roller coaster and Disney World’s best ride. For exciting cuisine, dine at Epcot, then head to Pleasure Island for nightlife before returning to your luxurious Orlando, Florida vacation rental.

Once-in-a-lifetime experiences also await at Disney World:

• Swim with dolphins.
• Go behind the scenes on the Backstage Magic tour
• Join Captain Jack to unleash your inner pirate.
• Spend a day with Disney’s steam train crew.
• Fuel your need for speed with the Richard Petty Driving Experience.
• Delight in the magic of Cirque du Soleil.
• Get romantic while cruising aboard a luxury yacht.

Universal Studios Florida puts you in the middle of your favorite movies and TV shows. Its two theme parks – Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure – are connected by City Walk, an attractive dinning/shopping area. Universal offers thrills and adventure for all ages and both theme parks provide thrill rides, roller coasters, live shows and kids’ play areas. Universal Studios offers more thrill rides, live shows and kiddie activities while Islands of Adventure adds water rides and, this year’s must-see attraction, the Wizarding World of Harry Potter.

While the two parks are relatively compact, you’ll want to purchase a 2-day pass if you plan to thoroughly cover both parks. (Money-saving tip: When you book your Orlando, Florida vacation rentals on iTrip.net, click the link for Universal Studios admission discounts.) If you have an unlimited budget or limited time, consider purchasing a Universal Express Plus Pass which allows you to jump ahead of the regular lines at premium rides. The cost of the pass is in addition to admission prices and is only good once on each ride but can be worth the cost if you want to maximize your fun and minimize your time at Universal.

Before leaving your Kissimmee condos and heading for the park, it’s helpful to make an action plan. Start by choosing three rides in each park that you don’t want to miss. If you’re traveling with children, check ride height restrictions on Universal’s website. If your family includes young children and teens, you may want to split up. Stay in touch with cell phones and arrange to meet for lunch at a City Walk restaurant. When arriving at the park, most people head immediately for the most popular big rides. Lines will be shorter and you’ll get to ride more rides if you start at the back of the park and save the big rides for after lunch.
