Universal Orlando Located 10 minutes northeast of Disney World on Interstate 4, this complex includes Universal Studios (movies and thrills) and Islands of Adventure (cutting-edge design), plus three Universal hotels, run by Loews.
SeaWorld Home to the famous water works (plus multitudes of Shamus), and as of March 2008, a water park with white sand beaches and a transparent tube slide that plunges riders into a lagoon full of dolphins.
