Florida natives call them Snowbirds…we call them smart: those who migrate south during the winter and early spring to get away from the wintry northern climates. The temperatures are relatively mild, crowds nearly non-existent, and vacation deals plentiful.

Florida weather is exceptional in late winter, providing a perfect escape from the frigid cold of the north. With a normal high of 84F, it’s warm enough to be comfortable but still shy of the tropical summer heat that many have come to expect. Not only is the weather great, the tourist season isn’t yet in full swing, meaning you wont have to face hordes of summer vacationers! To put the icing on the cake, we’re offering accommodations in sunny Orlando at only $149/night!

Unlike a lot of destinations, Orlando attractions are open year-round! You can spend your days (and nights) at one of the many amusement parks and attractions such as Disney World, SeaWorld, Busch Gardens Tampa, and even the new sister park of SeaWorld: Discovery Cove. Orlando is home to the biggest and highest quality parks in the world and we highly suggest visiting all that you can! No trip to Orlando would be complete without a visit to the World-famous Gatorland! Here you’ll carouse the 70-acre park filled with alligators and all kinds of other reptiles and Florida wildlife. It’s quite an adventure that the whole family will never forget!

From experience we know that making the rounds through all of the area’s great attractions could end up costing a small fortune, so we scoured the web to find some more great deals for you! Dawn Henton over at About.com has put together a quick list of Florida Discounts for the budget-minded traveler. You can also check out more up-to-date discounts here.

The fame of Orlando comes not only from Disney, but also from the many pristine golf links. Orlando offers golfers an abounding amount of options when it comes to deciding where to trim down that handicap! More than twenty high-quality golf courses can be found in the Orlando area, providing enough variety to satisfy even the most experienced of clubsmiths.

Apart from the putting green, there’s all sorts of shopping options including at least 4 shopping malls, 3 outlet malls, and even the Little Saigon and Little India shopping areas which provide ethnic goods from Eastern and Western Asia, respectively.

Citywalk at Universal Studios provides a wide array of dining choices including Margaritaville, NASCAR Cafe, and the world famous Hard Rock Cafe. You might even want to check out the Key West themed Calypso Bar & Grill, with a great menu and unique atmosphere. Orlando dining is influenced by many cultures, Orlando cuisine presents a unique blend of Hispanic and classic American flavors and dishes to create an exceptional blend of ingredients and tastes to suit all kinds of palates.

Downtown Orlando has just as much to offer as the nearby theme parks and is continually growing! The downtown area is central to Orange Avenue where many top-notch restaurants, clubs, bars, and entertainment venues call home. (Most evenings the main avenue is closed to vehicles due to heavy pedestrian traffic, so plan ahead.) On nearby Wall Street, pedestrian traffic can access even more restaurants and bars and on occasion there are live musical performances directly on or near the street itself. Just a few blocks off of the main strip,visitors can rent swan-shaped paddle boats to ride around Lake Eola. In the center of the lake there is a fountain that has been selected as one of the official symbols of Orlando.

World Class amusements, eclectic shopping, unique cuisine and our affordable luxury accommodations culminate to create one of the finest resort destinations in the world! To cap off your perfect Orlando vacation, take advantage of our great Orlando accommodations at Cypress Point Grand Villas & Cypress Palms resorts. Both resorts are just a few miles from major attractions including Disney parks as well as Typhoon Lagoon and Medieval Times. We offer these luxury vacation rentals at only $149/night! A virtual steal when compared to similar accommodations!
