Fabulous Things to Do in Orlando During the 25th Annual Pediatric Nursing Conference
June 25-27, 2009
Disney’s Contemporary Resort
Lake Buena Vista, Florida

Orlando, FL, is one of the most popular destinations in the world, famous for Walt Disney World and many other attractions. One of the best places to stay is Disney’s Contemporary Resort, the chosen site of the 25th Annual Pediatric Nursing Conference, June 25-27, 2009.

The Contemporary is an ultra-modern, lakeside facility that features a high-rise building complemented by a lovely garden wing annex. The sprawling grounds include a marina, pools, restaurants, recreational facilities, a health club, and tennis courts.

This hotel is the only Disney World resort that has the Walt Disney Monorail System passing through the main lobby. Guests can pick up the monorail on the fourth floor and easily make their way to the Magic Kingdom and Epcot theme parks. There is also complimentary bus service to other Disney attractions such as Disney Village, which features restaurants, shopping, and people watching.

With views of nearby Space Mountain and Cinderella’s Castle, the Contemporary overlooks 4.5 miles of shoreline along Bay Lake and Seven Seas Lagoon and is the closest hotel to the Magic Kingdom. At the hotel’s California Grill restaurant on the 15th floor, you can dine while watching nightly fireworks.

For those who crave adventure outside Disney, there is a sweeping range of music, special events and entertainment options to choose from in the Orlando metropolitan area. To name a few, Universal Studios, Sea World, and Alligator World are all within easy distance of the conference. Shoppers can enjoy a broad selection of nearby outlet malls. Sports enthusiasts can golf to their hearts’ content at many premier Orlando golf courses. Anyone who wants a taste of culture will want to experience performances by the Orlando Ballet, the Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra, or the Orlando Opera Company.
