WELCOME Founded in 1883. MADE IN 1971. When Disney’s Magic Kingdom opened its gates in October of 1971, our community began an evolution—we grew from a handful of hotels and roadside attractions into a gateway to one-of-a-kind experiences. Through the years, our destination has changed dramatically, but our focus hasn’t. In Kissimmee we make one thing—vacations. How? For over 40 years, we’ve delighted generations with warm people providing amazing experiences at our natural and man-made treasures. After all these years, it comes naturally to us. You might just say it’s what we’re made for. Other towns boast artisanal goods and locally brewed concoctions, but we have always thought bigger. Vacations are what we do and we do them well. From the nearby theme parks to the natural beauty bestowed on us, we give you and your family everything you need. Look no further than the pages of this destination magazine to see just how to make your own Kissimmee vacation. We promise you’ll leave with a suitcase full of memories that will last a lifetime. ©SeaWorld Visit us soon, DT Minich & the Experience Kissimmee team ©Disney 6 Kissimmee Destination Magazine
