Are you ready for a warm Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years holiday? If you are, Orlando, Florida is the place to be. Orlando is located in a sub-tropic climate zone in the heart of central Florida. Winters technically do not exist with calm days that are like spring most of the time. The average temperature in Orlando from late November to the first part of January ranges from about 59 to 63 degrees. Isn't that the ideal climate to enjoy your holiday vacation at?

In incredible Orlando, you will want to have reservations at a magnificent hotel so that when you are dead tired at the end of your busy day, you will be able to unwind and relax. I have found the perfect one for you. Gaylord Palms Resort Hotel & Convention Center located at 6000 W Osceola Parkway, Kissimmee, FL 34746, brings stimulation to life through world-class restaurants, dynamic on-site recreation, and spectacular gorgeous gardens under glass.

Gaylord Palms presents ICE! on November 17, 2008 through January 4, 2009. Don't let anyone tell you that the holidays in Florida are all about sunshine and palm trees. Get ready for the coldest holiday on record at the Gaylord Palms Resort. Several new scenes are featured this year including a gigantic gingerbread candy house, painstakingly hand carved from mammoth blocks of ice that are colored and a walk through igloo. The ICE! slides and castle, a visitor favorite, has been designed to replicate a gathering of penguins located in a South Pole village adjacent to the longest ice slide in the resort's history. Hooded coats are provided to keep visitors comfy since ICE! is kept at a frosty 9 degrees.

There is many more attractions right at Gaylord Palms so you can visit their website at http://www.gaylordhotels.com/gaylord-palms/index.htm l or you can call 407-586-2000.

If you can find your way out of the resort, there are numerous other fabulous attractions at Orlando. Orlando is known for being the theme park capital of America, which is a well deserved title, but Orlando has major international parks, smaller attractions and an unbelievable family point of interest. It has something for everyone young and old to enjoy.

A few of Orlando's foremost theme park contributions are Disney World, Sea World and Universal Studios. These can be further broken down into a number of smaller parks. For example, Disney World alone has the Magic Kingdom, Epcot Center, Camp Disney, an animal safari zone, MGM Studios and Pleasure Island. There is also Sea World and Wet
