KISSIMMEE, FL (April 2014) – No matter the age, everyone should have a list of things to experience and places to see in their lifetime. Here are five incredible ways that Kissimmee, Florida, can satisfy – or influence – your own travel bucket list.

1. Soar over alligators at Gatorland - Wave hello to the alligators and “jumping” crocodiles below as you zip across on the park's “Screamin' Gator” zipline attraction. But wait, there's more! Dare to wrestle an alligator and, go ahead, sit on top of one… It's much safer than you think and makes a great photo-op.

2. Take the plunge at Fun Spot America - Kissimmee - You'll realize how brave you are when you link arms with a friend or two and watch the ground slip away from under you as you're lifted 300 feet in the air, only to feel the rush of adrenaline as you plummet back down, breathing again when the cord catches and you find yourself happily swinging on the World's Tallest Sky Coaster.

3. Become a fighter pilot for a day- For a unique bird's-eye view of the area, fly in a legendary WWII P-51 Mustang at Stallion 51 or become a fighter pilot for an afternoon by taking the controls of a restored antique fighter plane at Warbird Adventures at Kissimmee Gateway Airport.

4. Soar in a hot air balloon - Getting up before dawn is well worth the effort for the experience of lifting into the sky aboard a hot air balloon. Don't forget your camera because the view of the sunrise, the theme parks and the landscape below are exhilarating. While you won't forget it, you'll want to capture it forever and share your adventure with your friends back home.

5. Vacation like a celebrity in a luxury rental home - Pack your bags and head to Kissimmee, home to one of the largest inventories of vacation home rentals in the country. With all of the thrills found in Kissimmee, you'll want to escape to your home-away-from-home before your next escapade. With amenities like a private pool, in-home movie theater and an arcade to test your gaming abilities against your friends and family, you'll feel like a VIP.
