Guide to International Drive

In the middle of the action: SeaWorld Orlando (R) is at one end, Wet 'n Wild Orlando (R) is at the other and Universal Orlando (R) Resort is just off the top.

Most definitely a slice of the all-American apple pie, International Drive is buzzing and slap bang at the heart of some of Orlando's top attractions. We're talking Universal Studios, Wet 'n Wild, SeaWorld Orlando, Discovery Cove and Islands of Adventure and that's only some of them. Give the Wonder Works and Ripley's Believe It Or Not parks a go while you're here too. And if you exhaust this lot, the other 'big ones' like Walt Disney World Resort are just a few minutes away. Known locally as I Drive, this place is a haven for shoppers. From designer boutiques to discount outlet malls where you can always bag a bargain - this is a real shop 'til you drop experience. You'll also find a world of cuisine here from western-style fare from America and the Med, to Japanese dishes from the Far East. Your only problem will be making your mind up. Perhaps you'll take some time out and slip off for a round of golf at one of the area's courses or tryout the World Bowling Centre for size. And when the sun goes down, a glittering nightlife comes to life, whether it's dazzling shows, bustling live music venues or sizzling nightclubs. Here is where it's all at!

Dining Out

Eating out on I-Drive can be a new experience each night of your stay. You'll recognize many of the restaurants including TGI Fridays, KFC and Pizza Hut. Then there's the kind of diners like Denny's and Ponderosa, made legendary in American films. Many restaurants have reduced prices for children and really good value buffet breakfasts. Don't forget Universal CityWalk (R), home to the best of the best in live music, fine and casual dining, shopping, dancing, state-of-the-art cinemas and more.
