Orlando’s not just for families – if you’re heading there on a “grown-ups” holiday (and yes, those can include Disney World too!) you’ll probably want to get a taste of the nightlife that’s on offer, right?
These are some of our favourite places to enjoy a drink*, a dance, or just a good old-fashioned party…..
Universal CityWalk
Universal CityWalk is known as the entertainment capital of Universal Orlando because it’s the ideal destination for a night out, whether you’re looking for a romantic evening with your sweetheart or a place to party with friends! Full of nightclubs, restaurants, shops and cinemas, it also hosts a variety of concerts and special events throughout the year.
International Drive
Looking to get out of the theme parks? International Drive (also known as I-Drive) has over 150 restaurants, 3 entertainment complexes and loads of bars and clubs – everything you need for a big night out!
Just some of the venues you can find on International Drive include…
