Our bloggers say it best. “I grew up coming to Kissimmee for family vacations, and even though the area has grown and changed, the excitement and memories it brings to my family are the same as when I was a kid. My family will continue to make Kissimmee part of our vacation tradition.” – Stefanie Fauquet “We seem to spring into Florida with all the energy a family of boys can have. We see amazing sites, taste outstanding foods, hear sounds you hear nowhere else in the world. And when the day comes to return home, our hearts are full!” – Malise Terrell “It becomes easy to forget that not everything around here is in Orlando – actually, surprisingly little of the area’s attractions are – but to remember that “the Orlando area” includes all the possibilities you’ve come to know and love and that many are located in a ‘little’ town called Kissimmee.” – Rori Paul Want more tips and tricks for your next visit to Kissimmee?

You can find them all on i.seeKissimmee.com. “Because of its central location in the state, because most of the most popular themed parks are right here, because Interstate 4 runs right on through, you can easily stay in Kissimmee and still get to see more than just the Mouse’s house.” – Rori Paul “It’s really fun to camp in the Kissimmee area! You get to ‘rough it’ while still staying close to the area theme parks, dining and attractions. It’s the best of both worlds!” - Tim Jones “Staying in a vacation rental home for the last leg of our Kissimmee adventures gave my family room to spread out, play together, eat a few meals without worrying about disturbing other diners, and enjoy some restful sleep.” – Colleen Lanin Condos Near Disney Orbit One Vacation Villas 2-bed/2-bath condos | full kitchens | 2 swimming pools | putting green | tennis courts Parkway International Resort 2-bed/2-bath condos | full kitchens | swimming pool | hot tub | poolside bar + grill | nature trails www.condorental.cc 800.634.3119 [email protected] Accommodations “Hotels in this area offer an affordable option for families, and a great base for your Kissimmee vacation with the close proximity to Disney and the wide variety of restaurants within walking distance.” – Mary Stephan “If part of the pleasure for you is spending time with others, meeting new people, and enjoying life at a faster pace, then a hotel might be your best bet.” – Iain McMenemy “If you want a true relaxing resort-style stay in Kissimmee, try a resort. As soon as you step foot to the resorts, all the craziness from theme parks and shops seem to melt away.” – Amy Querido “Kissimmee is like the Welcome Mat to so much of Central Florida’s opportunities, so staying in a Kissimmee hotel puts you in the heart of it all. Being able to do so with our dogs was convenient, easy, and comfortable” – Rori Paul Vacation Homes in Kissimmee Three to six bedroom vacation homes with pools throughout the Kissimmee area including Remington, Bellavida, and Windsor Hills.
