DK Travel : Orlando : International Drive Area

Considered the times square of Orlando, International Drive is a brash 10-mile (16-km) strip boasting five theme parks, countless attractions open day and night, including Universal’s CityWalk entertainment complex, and the USA’s second-largest convention center. Added to the mix are hundreds of hotels and resorts catering to all budgets, shopping malls and outlet stores, and themed and fast-food restaurants. As a package, the result is a frenetic zone, which, despite its wall-to-wall neon signs and visual overload, has become a serious competitor of Disney World, appealing to visitors who prefer to stay away from the clutches of Mickey but want to be in the thick of the action.
