Essential information for Kissimmee
Do I need a visa?
To travel to the USA, you will need an ESTA visa. Please make sure that you have this approved at least 3 days before you head off on holiday.
Did you know?
You can reach Kissimmee easily by flying direct into Tampa with Virgin Atlantic!
- Price comparison: It's always worth comparing the two flight prices, especially in busy times like the summer holidays. Tampa could end up being the better option to save some pennies.
- Stress-free experience: Tampa Airport is significantly less busy than Orlando, so it's likely to be a bit more chilled, especially with little ones.
- Just an easy drive from Orlando: Once you've whizzed through the shorter queues and pick up your car, you'll be in Orlando in next to no time.

Kissimmee holidays: Orlando with room to roam
Kissimmee holidays put you just south of Orlando, close to the big-ticket thrills of Walt Disney World Resort and Universal Orlando Resort, with plenty of space to do the rest of Florida your way. Spacious villas, family-friendly resorts and proper pool days give you room to reset between park adventures.
There are plenty of things to do in Kissimmee when you’re ready to swap park gates for something different: explore Old Town’s classic cars and live entertainment, cool off at a nearby water park, follow the local Latin food trail or take to the wetlands around Lake Toho. Add Disney or Universal park tickets, plus hand-picked Orlando experiences, to your holiday as you book and get more of the trip sorted in one place.
Things to do
Excursions to add to your holiday
Where to stay
Walt Disney World Resort
Four theme parks, water parks, Disney Springs and enough rides, shows and snacks to fill more than one holiday. Add Walt Disney World Resort tickets to your package, to take advantage of Park Hopper and Memory Maker, then shape your days around the things your group is excited about.
Universal Orlando Resort
Universal Orlando Resort brings together four theme parks, including Universal Epic Universe. Jump into movie-fuelled thrills, The Wizarding World of Harry Potter™, SUPER NINTENDO WORLD™ and Volcano Bay, then add your tickets to the holiday before you go.
Old Town Entertainment District
Classic cars, colourful rides, live music, shops and dinner spots make Old Town an easy evening win. The regular car shows bring the chrome, while the walkable streets bring a slower change of pace after a full day in the parks.
Promenade at Sunset Walk
Make your way to Promenade at Sunset Walk for restaurants, shops, live entertainment and plenty happening around its palm-lined streets. Nearby Island H2O Water Park brings slides, a wave pool and lazy-river drifting when the Florida heat calls for a day on the water.
A taste of Kissimmee
Follow the Kissimmee Latin Culinary Trail for independent restaurants, cafés and food trucks serving flavours from across Latin America. It’s a delicious way to meet the local side of town, and a welcome change from theme-park dining.
The theme parks are only part of the story. Add a little more Florida to your Kissimmee holiday by booking these experiences online in the Extras section alongside your flights and hotel.

Kennedy Space Center
Spend a day among real rockets, the mighty Saturn V and stories of space exploration. Choose from ticket options including transport, an astronaut chat or an Astronaut Training Experience.

Swim with manatees
Head to Crystal River to swim or snorkel alongside wild manatees, then visit Homosassa Wildlife State Park to meet some of Florida’s rescued wildlife. A very different kind of day out, with return transport included.
Six popular ways to stay in Kissimmee, from private villas and townhouse-style living to apartment resorts with water parks, lake views and Virgin Atlantic Holidays extras.
