Culture
International Drive can be considered a young city, but its history is still intriguing. The first part of International Drive was constructed in the 1960s to serve a local hotel. Apparently the land was located on the edge of a large Orlando Central Park business owned by a man called Martin Marietta, who decided after the opening of Walt Disney World in 1971, that he would turn International Drive into a renowned commercial centre.
Since then International Drive has grown massively, being extended both southward and northward to allow the construction of more buildings and homes, which is how it has turned into the thriving place that it is today.
It'd be impossible to enjoy holiday in Florida without experiencing some of the cultural exhibits International Drive has to offer, and thankfully it has that in abundance; planning to visit in November? Then watch out for celebrations on the 4th Thursday of the month, as this is when America celebrates its annual Thanksgiving to commemorate the dinner between the Pilgrims and Native Americans. In October meanwhile you'll be able to experience the pleasure of an American Halloween on the 31st at the Festival Bay Mall, which will provide an array of ghostly treats!
A visit to Lake Buena Vista's World Disney World just has to be planned, while the Outta Control Magic Show at 9067 International Drive offers you the chance to dine while enjoying a typically American hi-octane mix of fantastic magic and live comedy.
