The Greater Orlando region consists of Orange, Osceola, Seminole and Lake Counties, with the city itself lying in central Orange County. Disney's theme parks are in Kissimmee, about 20 miles southwest of downtown Orlando, while the Universal Studios complex and Sea World both sit along International Drive, just minutes from downtown. Orlando is best known for the tourist attractions in the area, particularly the nearby Walt Disney World Resort, which is in the Reedy Creek Improvement District. Other area attractions include Sea World and the Universal Orlando Resort, the latter of which is in Orlando proper. Orlando International Airport is one of the 15 busiest in the country. It is conveniently located only 15-20 minutes from the downtown area and many of the major attractions.
