Florida 101

Disney movies are constantly staple parts of childhood among many races all over the globe. Ask a random kid on who Mickey Mouse or who Cinderella is and you’ll probably get the most precise description of these characters, even information about them only few people know about. And thus, it can be said that the popularity of Disney can be at par with the infamy even of the President of the United States (no pun intended).

This might be one of the many reasons why Florida is one of the world’s most renowned tourist spot. Being the Sunshine State, it surely never fails to bring fun and smiles to visitors especially to the youngsters and the young at hearts. With the presence of the dainty Disney princesses along with the cute and fun new characters like Shrek, Bolt, cast of Up, and the ethereal Mickey Mouse and friends, it is of no wonder that most children answer “Florida!” when asked which state of America is their favourite.

Aside from the state giving an opportunity to meet their heroes and heroines from their favourite animated movies, Florida also creates an inspirational hub for children who dream of becoming astronauts and “touring” the outer space. True enough, a child’s imagination can be wild and dreams extreme but the launch of the Space Shuttle Endeavour along with the Atlas 5 –SBIRS Satellite can surely give them the opportunity to see firsthand what’s in store for them once they become space ‘orbiters.’ The key to give the children the utmost fun from the experience is to check the schedules for the launch of Rocket and Space Shuttles and then locate the best place to witness the launch.

What is great about Florida, however, are not just the theme parks and children oriented destinations. The state is also known for its beautiful and captivating beaches. It is, after all, the State of Sunshine.

Mummies and Dads wanting to have a break from the hectic schedules of their careers can enjoy the soft ivory sand and inviting waves from the beaches. A day at the beach may include bathing under the sun of Florida to achieve the sun kissed look, surfing, snorkelling and fishing. The most favourite activity of tourists, however, is to simply lay a mat on the sand and enjoy the cool breeze while relaxing on all day.

There are a lot of resorts visitors can choose from. Florida finds prides the most from beaches with white sand and crystal clear waters. Daytona Beach, for one, is a beach that even allows driving along the shores. The place is also filled with great shops where treats can be bought for the fellows left at home. The Cocoa Beach, being the sole wave capital of East Coast Florida is the perfect place to haunt for collectible shells, play beach volleyballs, and buy unique souvenirs.

But of course, Florida is also the top sport for honeymooners with the tropical paradises where lovers can enjoy toasting champagnes and admiring the tranquil sceneries as they enjoy a candle lit dinner by the lake or in the middle of the park.
Whichever it is, a ticket to Florida is surely one of life’s greatest pleasures.
