Time to Spring into Travel Mode

It’s time to “spring” into travel mode – and what better way to get out there and experience the best that Florida has to offer than by climbing aboard a Tampa or Orlando based ESCOT bus and explore with your group! The magic of these places can’t be found anywhere else. ESCOT bus lines will transport your religious group, school, sports team, or family to some of the best tourist attractions in Florida.

Experience the Force in Orlando

Orlando’s Disney parks are world-famous, and with good reason. The magic of Mickey Mouse and classic rides like The Haunted Mansion and Space Mountain are iconic favorites. But this spring, Disney’s Hollywood Studios takes visitors right to the heart of the Force with a celebration of Star Wars. If you’re one of the lucky ones to experience this, look for the new stage show, Star Wars: A Galaxy Far, Far Away, in early April. That’s just the kickoff for upcoming Star Wars fun starting now and heading into the summer!

Foodies Flock to Tampa

Spring foodies can put Tampa at the top of their destination list. There’s the Strawberry Festival and the National Cuban Sandwich Festival in Ybor City’s Centennial Park.

And don’t forget about the Busch Gardens Food & Wine Festival, every weekend in March and April. This annual celebration of culinary pleasures includes crafts, sugar art, and of course, wines and craft brews. There will also be a “conservation cabin” so families can enjoy animal themed activities and encounters. Festival goers will also enjoy live music, and much more, including topiary masterpieces that celebrate the fun and freshness of spring.

More in the mood for Italian food? Then check out the 19th Annual Festa Italiana Weekend, in early April. Since 1997, the Festa Italiana Weekend has celebrated the food, culture, and passion of Italy. Experience wine parties, an Italian Idol singing competition, and delicious dishes at this fantastic festival.

Art and Animals

Tampa offers many fun things to do for the whole family. Those who love the expression and mystery of art can’t afford to miss the Dali Museum. Through June 12, you can visit Disney and Dali, a mind-blowing, imaginative exploration of the unlikely alliance of Walt Disney and Salvador Dali.

However, if you’re more in the mood for the magic of the natural world, come and visit Giraffe Ranch, just 45 minutes outside of Tampa. At Giraffe Ranch, you can immerse yourself in an agritourism world of wonder, filled with giraffes, warthogs, rhinoceros, and herds of deer.
