I was quite impressed with Palm Lakefront Resort & Hostel. Most hostels can get quite filthy and nasty, but this one was clean and didn't smell like a Cleveland, Ohio back alley. The beds weren't the most comfortable, but when you are in Florida why would you be inside sleeping anyway. The pool is big and sparkling and I even caught a fish off of the fishing pier.

There are several places to visit that are just within a few miles of Palm Lakefront Resort & Hostel.

Disney - Magic Kingdom
Cost: Day Pass $71.00
(407)824-4321

This is a place more tuned to younger kids, but adults can have fun too. I think we all need to see Disney once and you have to ride Space Mountain, Thunder Mountain and Splash Mountain.

Disney - EPCOT Center
Cost: Day Pass $71.00
(407)824-4321

This park is tailored for those interested in high tech and international relations. While you are here be sure to check out Test Track and Mission to Mars.

Disney - MGM Studios
Cost: Day Pass $71.00
(407)824-7321

This is the smallest of the Disney theme parks, but it hosts the best rides in Disney. While you are here be sure to ride the Tower of Terror and the Rockin Roller Coaster.

SeaWorld
Cost: Day Pass $64.95
(407)351-3600

There is much more to do in SeaWorld than just watch Shamu jump around in a giant pool. Be sure to check out Journey to Atlantis and Florida's longest coaster Kraken.

There are may things to see and do while you are at Palm Lakefront Resort & Hostel. You may choose to enjoy the many amenities that the establishment offers or you can venture off and check out some of America's most notable traditions.
