Orlando area
Theme park region
The Orlando area refers to the metropolitan region surrounding Orlando, Florida, including nearby cities and suburbs like Kissimmee, Winter Park, and the theme park districts.
The phrase appears frequently in real estate, tourism, and local news: Hotels in the Orlando area are fully booked for spring break.
Like similar constructions (the Boston area, the Chicago area), it designates an imprecise geographic zone centered on the named city.
