Central Florida draws people from near and far. Not only Americans, but individuals and families from international countries dream of taking Orlando vacations. Known as the magical destination, this center of the Sunshine State offers Walt Disney World, Universal Studios and Sea World to guests without requiring more than a few minutes of travel time between them.

Selecting the best Orlando hotels at an affordable rate normally becomes a top priority for those embarking on these getaways. Many online businesses provide a one-stop shop for the best Orlando hotels, theme park tickets and more. Purchasing a package from these vendors typically saves a large amount of time and money. In addition to staying in premium resorts, travelers also want to get the inside scoop on the local theme parks and restaurants. With mobile phone apps that are available for almost any cellular device, they can easily access tips and important information that will transform these getaways into unforgettable memories.

Apps For Thrilling Rides During Orlando Vacations

After scheduling Orlando vacations through a helpful online travel agency, visitors can relax and have a great time when they arrive at their resort. Once settled, tourists are ready to invade the theme parks for thrills and quality family time. Large groups or those with domineering family members should take advantage of "What 2 Ride." This iPhone app selects the next ride or attraction for all four Walt Disney parks. The visiting party simply picks the particular park they are in and which "land" they want to see. They watch the spinner on the phone turn as they hear catchy game show music, and then it stops on a certain ride. Parents appreciate this feature that eliminates fighting while on Orlando vacations, and children love the fun and excitement of not knowing where they'll go next until the spinner goes round and round.

After deciding on a ride, guests want to know the wait time before they walk all the way to the attraction or one of few boards that display that data. The apps, "Lines" and "Wait Times" display current wait times at the four Disney Parks' rides and shows.

Avoid Getting Lost And Not Having A Dinner Reservation

Most travelers don't miss out on their opportunity to visit all the theme parks in Central Florida. The "Ready Path" app for Universal Studios and Sea World provides interactive maps and shows rides, stores, restaurants, clubs, attractions, and snack stands. This function actually highlights the chosen location to avoid getting lost in these large theme parks. Tourists can also zoom-in and pan around to find even those spots that appear hidden. Universal Studios guests can take advantage of this app's phone number function to call "CityWalk" restaurants that are on the outskirts of the parks. This option keeps worn out sightseers from not eating at their preferred place and time before returning to Orlando hotels.

No matter which attractions guests go to, they will make the most of their Orlando vacations by using mobile phone apps.
