The entertainment capital of the world for people of all ages, Walt Disney World in Florida is where your kids can meet all their favourite Disney characters, go on some of the most hair-raising rides and eat candy floss to their heart’s content. In short, it’s the stuff of dreams for adolescents.

You could spend days and days here, but if you want a change of scene, LEGOLAND Florida is just down the road! Visit all the Lego constructions, meet all the Lego men and women and marvel at the pure craftsmanship of the whole park. It has to be seen to be believed.
