4. Orlando Classic

The most famous college basketball tournament in the country takes place in March. It has a catchy nickname you've probably heard before. Farther down the list of notable college basketball tournaments, however, is the Orlando Classic (previously the Old Spice Classic). But while it may not be the first tournament you think of when you hear “college hoops,” it's still full of great competition.

The tournament, held at the HP Field House at the Wide World of Sports Complex, features college teams from eight separate conferences, all competing in a single-elimination tournament held in late November.

Colleges of all sizes have entered the tournament – including the winners of the 2014 competition, the Kansas Jayhawks. That team alone featured four NBA prospects: Kelly Oubre, Cliff Alexander, Bobby Portis, and Wayne Selden.

If you're a basketball fan, checking out the Orlando Classic is a must. The environment is fun, the competition is strong, and you never know when you might see the next generation of NBA stars.

5. The Super Bowl Parade

Let's do a quick hypothetical:

You're a football player. You've just spent the past six months of your life giving everything you have day in, and day out to your team. At long last, you've not only made it to the Super Bowl, but you've won. Your performance, specifically, pushed your team over the top, earning you the victory in one of the most watched events of the year.

At that moment, someone comes up to you with a microphone. They look you in the eye and say, “You've just won the Super Bowl. What are you going to do now?”

You already know the answer.

Super Bowl winners have been saying those words, “I'm going to Disney World!” ever since Phil Simms did it in 1987. Nowadays, the whole thing has the organizational power of a small military mission – the Super Bowl MVP will pretty much be immediately whisked away to the Vacation Kingdom.

In 2014, Seahawks defender and Super Bowl MVP Malcolm Smith found himself at Walt Disney World less than 24 hours later and, as has become the custom, lead a parade down Main Street USA.

If you're a sports fan in America, there's a good likelihood you're a football fan as well, and if you can't actually make it to the Super Bowl in person, being at Disney World just might be the next best thing. There are countless places to watch, people from all over the country to cheer with, and, if your team wins, you'll get to celebrate with them at one of the most iconic destinations in the world, all while watching your the game's most important player be showered with confetti.

Not a bad way to end a vacation, huh?
