For the past eight years, the world’s top tri-athletes have been coming to Orlando to compete in the Ironman 70.3 hosted at Walt Disney World Resort. This year, however, the event is moving to a new location at beautiful Lake Eva Park near Haines City. The event, which takes place on May 20^th, will feature an exciting course and is still just minutes from Central Florida’s favorite attractions – the race site is only miles from the new LEGOLAND Theme park!

If you have a trip planned at the end of February in Orlando (or Anaheim, CA) you can celebrate leap year 2012 with 24 hours of magical fun with all of your favorite Disney characters. For the first time ever, Disney’s Magic Kingdom and Disneyland Park will keep their gates open to the public all day and night on February 29^th as part of a bi-coastal salute called “One More Disney Day.” Starting at 6 a.m. on February 29^th and continuing through the night until 6 a.m. on March 1, 2012 you and your family can enjoy uninterrupted Disney magic and fun.

Have you already been to all of the Disney parks but still need a fun way to ring in the New Year? Florida Spirit Vacation Homes has a few ideas on how you can celebrate the start of 2012 in the Orlando area.

Feeling the need for speed? There will be a brand-new thrill ride coming to Walt Disney World in mid-January, and it’s not what you expected. You won’t be flipping upside-down or surrounded by your favorite characters, but you will be sure to have an adrenaline rush.

With November well under way, we are getting closer to one of Orlando’s most magical times of year. When you come to Central Florida over the holidays there is never a shortage of things to do and see. All of the theme parks will be bubbling with celebrations and festivities, but that’s not the only place for some holiday fun. If you’re looking for something a little different to do in the area this year, we found some other neat events happening in November you might want to check out.
