RVs & Camping

Legoland Florida

Lego have announced the opening of Legoland Florida on the site of Cypress Gardens in Central Florida.

It will be the largest Legoland to date and will create 1,000 jobs. It is expected to open in late 2011.

Universal U Select

Universal Orlando has announced a new ticket pricing structure called "U Select", in time for the opening of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. It follows a similar idea introduced by Walt Disney World in 2005, the Disney "Magic Your Way" ticket system and the idea is to encourage guests to visit the Universal parks for more than just a couple of days.

Free Gift Card

Disney have announced a free Disney Gift Card with a value of up to $750 for selected 5-night/6-day non-discounted vacation packages booked by March 27, 2010 and used by June 3, 2010. There are different 'blackout' dates depending upon resort.

RVs & Camping in Florida

For the ultimate in flexibility, there is nothing to beat camping; either with a tent or with an RV (recreational vehicle).

There are hundreds of campsites (campgrounds) across Florida including many within the various State Parks.

These will give you access to hiking, biking, canoeing, horse riding and fishing amongst beautiful surroundings.

If you do hire an RV, make sure you understand how everything works and remember that you will typically get around 8-10 mpg so though you will not have to unpack every evening, you will need to fill up more often!

KOA campground in Kissimmee

When checking the price of campgrounds, note that unlike hotels and motels, they typically charge based on two people; you will often have to pay extra if there are more than two adults (children usually go free).

Facilities will vary between campgrounds but most will offer 30/50 amp service, water, electricity and sewerage, paved parking, picnic areas and some even offer cable TV and wireless internet access.
