Orange County is a land of dreams. From its early days, it has always drawn those with dreams and the will to carry them out. It was onto this land that a modern-day dreamer stepped and dared to imagine turning orange groves into a land of pure fantasy, a colorful place where children and adults could loose themselves in make believe - his name was Walt Disney.
Today, there is no question for people who visit here that Orange County is the true capital of make believe, from riding shotgun on a stage coach to cheering for fighting knights in a jousting match, speeding through the galaxy or coming face to face with your movie idols. If you can dream it, you can find it in Orange County.

LOUISIANA

A large flourishing urban hub, New Orleans possesses all the conveniences a modern-day traveler comes to expect, and the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center is one of the largest in the country. The gulf coast state of Louisiana, in which New Orleans is located, also offers a unique tax-free program to its international guests.
Yet the spirit underlying this city can be found elsewhere as well -- somewhere between the devil and the deep blue sea. With an exotic mix of French, Spanish and African architectural styles, a unique cuisine, and a romantic Creole heritage, some 11 million visitors flock to an old-world aura and a sassy approach to life not found in any other city in the United States.
The excitement of New Orleans’ traditions continue on the Vieux Carr’s Bourbon street, the place to go for evening entertainment. Close your eyes and invariably you’ll hear music on the breeze. The site’s Aquarium, Audubon Zoo, Lakefront and City Parks are also all part of the urban landscape.
