International Drive holidays

International Drive, or ‘I-Drive’ as the locals call it, is Orlando’s answer to the Strip, packed with places to eat, shop and play.

 

Just minutes from Universal Orlando Resort, it’s the perfect base for theme park thrills and after-dark fun. Find your perfect International Drive holiday and dive into non-stop entertainment.

Why stay in International Drive?

  1. Proximity to the parks

    If Universal is top of your list, this is a great base as you're just minutes away, whilst also not being far from Walt Disney World too so you can easily mix it up.

  2. Great value for money

    International Drive is packed with well-located hotels that make brilliant park bases. Expect comfortable stays, great pool scenes and everything you need, without the premium price tag.

  3. Hotel perks that go further

    Many I-Drive hotels offer added extras like complimentary park shuttles, free parking and on-site dining benefits. It’s all about keeping things easy - and keeping more spending money for the important stuff .

  4. Entertainment on your doorstep

    This isn't just a place to sleep. You've got ICON Park, WonderWorks, mini golf, shopping, bowling alleys, aquariums and endless restaurants and bars, all within easy reach.

  5. Hop on the I-RIDE Trolley

    Getting around couldn't be simpley. The I-RIDE Trolley runs up and down International Drive, linking you to attractions, shops and dining spots along the strip, with no hassle required.

  6. Buzzing atmosphere

    There's a lively, holiday feel to I-Drive, especially in the evenings. Think neon lights, casual dining, entertainment venues and plenty of choice, all in one central location.

  7. Disney park tickets on deposit

    You don’t need to stay on-site to sort your Disney park tickets. Add them to your holiday and secure them with your deposit, then pay the balance later. It's as simple as that.
