Tell a friend you are thinking of a family holiday in Florida and ten to one they’ll think ‘Disney’ and they may well be right. The fantastic Magic Kingdom that Disney has created near Orlando now has more visitors than the original Disneyland in California. Almost a million visitors from UK visit this iconic Children’s (and Adult’s!)  favourite because it is just so fantastic. You can stay in one of the many amazing hotels, resorts, apartments or villas for a week or a fortnight and still not see it all. If this is your main focus then check out our family holiday suggestions on our Disneyland or Orlando pages. There is however another Florida that may also appeal to you and the reason why it was America’s number one holiday destination pre-Disney. Simply, Florida is blessed with a warm subtropical climate, which nourishes lush greenery and keeps its azure seas at the perfect temperature for swimming.

Childfriendly have selected some of the best Florida family friendly holiday resorts that offer everything from Kids Clubs to the opportunity for deep-sea fishing. Many are located on Florida’s famous chain of islands called the ‘Florida Keys’. You’ll really feel you’re holidaying on a tropical island if you choose one of these resorts. Some package holidays include excursions, with The Magic Kingdom obviously on the top of the options list. Also a very popular excursion is to The Everglades National Park, a region of Mangrove Lagoons and tiny islands, which is home to some fascinating wild life like fish eagles and alligators. One thing is certain; a family holiday in Florida is never going to be boring. The dollar is also really low against the pound, unlike the mighty Euro, yet another reason for checking our great selection of holidays in Florida USA.
