Spring Break: Orlando, Florida

It isn't surprising that Orlando is the #1 US destination for "family spring break". If you're planning your spring break in Orlando, you may find it difficult to decide which of the many attractions you want to visit. 

Of course, there is Walt Disney World, a "world" the size of Boston, with four theme parks, two water parks, Downtown Disney entertainment zone, and twenty-two themed resorts. And then there is Universal Orlando which has the Wizarding World of Harry Potter in one of its two theme parks, plus three nearby resorts and the CityWalk entertainment zone. But there's also SeaWorld and Discovery Cove and Aquatica Water Park, and a chance to see performances by Cirque du Soleil and Blue Man Group.

In addition to all the usual top things to do in Orlando, the spring break weeks bring some extras.

At Disney World, the Epcot theme park has its annual Epcot Flower and Garden Festival, with many amusing topiary figures of Disney characters, programs for grown-up and kid gardeners, and free outdoor Flower Power concerts. The Festival has a long run, from mid-March through May.

Over at Universal Orlando, the Universal Studios theme park has multiple Mardi Gras nights, with big parade, street performers, Cajun cuisine, free concerts, and New Orleans bands in the French Quarter. Expect party-ers, but plenty of families in attendance too.

Both these events are free with regular ticket purchase, and both offer a great chance to live performances, sometimes by well-known bands. Typically the Flower Power concerts at Epcot highlight top acts of the Sixties and Seventies, such as Paul Revere and the Raiders, Herman's Hermits, Jose Feliciano... Meanwhile, Mardi Gras at Universal Orlando has name acts too, from Aretha Franklin and Chicago to 3 Doors Down.
