Once the festive season is over the New Year blues soon set in with cold, dark wintery nights. Why not escape to Kissimmee, Florida for guaranteed all year round sun and fun. The New Year welcomes a variety of new exciting attractions and activities perfect for all the family.

Nature enthusiasts, thrill seekers and animal lovers are sure to find what they look for at Wild Florida. The airboat ride and wildlife park experience is expected to welcome an expansion of their ecotourism park. The expansion includes the Dead River Kayak Adventure Tour, a kayak tour that takes guests deep into the swamps, marshes and rivers that make up the Central Florida Everglades. The expansion will also feature an all-new full service indoor restaurant, a new park trail expansion as well as ten new animal exhibits and nature trails. www.wildfloridairboats.com

Recently, Old Town has opened a new attraction called Legends, a Haunting at Old Town. This new year-round attraction features live actors inside a detailed haunted house that combines state of the art effects to immerse visitors in the ‘ultimate’ scary yet fun experience. The iconic Old Town, most well-known for its giant Ferris wheel and being the host of the oldest weekly car cruise in the country, is one of Kissimmee’s most popular tourist attractions. Beyond the car cruises are a unique collection of shops, restaurants and family-friendly amusements. www.myoldtownusa.com

The excitement is mounting as the 132nd Silver Spurs Rodeo – a long-time Kissimmee tradition and the largest rodeo east of the Mississippi – rides into town from February 21-23, 2014. The Silver Spurs Rodeo is an action-packed, family fun event that has been entertaining spectators in Kissimmee for 70 years, showcasing both the talent and bravery passed down through many generations of local Cracker Cowboys. www.silverspursrodeo.com

There will be a lot happening at the theme parks in 2014. The all-new Seven Dwarfs Mine Train will hit the tracks at Walt Disney World Resort’s Magic Kingdom ® in spring 2014. The family friendly roller coaster will use new technology to simulate the swivel, sway and tipping of the mine carts and immerse guests into the classic Disney story. 

The art of wizardry is reaching new levels as ‘London’ and Diagon Alley make their way to Universal Orlando® Resort.  The expansion will allow guests to transfer from both theme parks, Universal Studios Florida and Universal’s Islands of Adventure, aboard the Hogwarts Express. The Wizarding World of Harry Potter - Diagon Alley will also feature shops, a marquee attraction and a restaurant. www.universalorlando.com/harrypotter
