Quick Links
In Orlando, one can satisfy both of one's main weaknesses - the need for thrill rides and the love of chocolate. Chocolate has a long and storied history hailing from the Olmec people of Mesoamerica (today's Mexico). These people are best known for the Colossal Heads and lived long before the Aztecs. Back then it was a ritual and medicinal drink - not the chocolate we know and crave today.
Today one can learn all about one's favorite snack at the World of Chocolate Museum in Orlando. Who would have known that Orlando would have been a great option for chocolate lovers! There are plenty of things to keep everyone entertained while in Orlando.
