EXPLORING FLORIDA (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 48) Universal Studios Orlando: Entertainment a Shuttle Ride Away The fun isn’t limited to only the Gaylord Palms resort. A shuttle ride away is the Universal Studios Orlando theme parks and City Walk. Whether you want to journey to Hogwarts and go on an adventure with Harry Potter at Universal Islands of Adventure, have a cocktail at Margaritaville or experience the new Cinematic Spectacular lagoon show, you are in for an adventure fit for the movies! The City Walk area lines up some unique dining options like the Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville, chef Emeril Lagasse’s Emeril’s Orlando and The Bubba Gump Shrimp Company, to name a few. Gaylord Palms makes transportation to Universal Orlando easy through its shuttle service (around US$19 for a round trip) so you do not have to rent a car or worry about parking. Walt Disney World: Discover the Magic When you stay at the Gaylord Palms, you are less than five minutes away from the place where the magic lives, Walt Disney World. Aside from all of the classic Walt Disney World fun—a spin on Dumbo the Flying Elephant, a pirate adventure on Pirates of the Caribbean, a safari adventure on Kilimanjaro Safari—October is also the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival wherein you can visit kiosks featuring food and a collection of international wines. If a Cirque du Soleil show is typically on your ISPA Conference agenda, you’ll be delighted to know that Downtown Disney features the Cirque du Soleil show “La Nouba” which is exclusive to the Walt Disney World Resort and a mesmerizing avant-garde circus spectacle. The entertainment and dining options are endless during your stay for the ISPA Conference & Expo in Kissimmee, Florida. The best part is that staying at the Gaylord Palms not only provides you the added benefits of Conference, it puts you right in the middle of all the fun the area has to offer.
