Florida: Central Florida

Overview

The central region is Florida’s heartland and contains the highest concentration of attractions anywhere in the world including Walt Disney World (Magic Kingdom, Epcot Disney-MGM studios, Animal Kingdom), Universal Studios, Blizzard Beach, Pleasure Island, Cypress Gardens, Sea World and Splendid China. The region contains the city of Orlando, one of Florida’s major cities (with over one million inhabitants) and the hub of the region’s thriving tourist industry (the number one tourist destination in America). Orlando is the county seat of Orange County, historically a major citrus-producing centre. Other major cities include Lakeland, Ocala and Kissimmee. Lake County (with over 1,000 lakes) is a popular location for those seeking peace and tranquillity, while at the same time being close enough to the main attractions (but not too close!). The region is a haven for nature lovers and is renowned for its lakes (and freshwater fishing), the Highland Hammock State Park and the majestic Ocala National Forest. The central region contains the counties of Highlands (Sebring is the county seat), Lake (Tavares), Marion (Ocala), Orange (Orlando), Osceola (Kissimmee), Polk (Barlow), Seminole (Sanford) and Sumter (Bushnell).
