Activity itinerary

Walt Disney World Resort (Pass by)

The world's most visited holiday resort encompasses four theme parks—Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Hollywood Studios, and Animal Kingdom—plus water parks, resort hotels, and Disney Springs across 25,000 acres of Central Florida. Magic Kingdom's Cinderella Castle has become the global symbol of Disney magic since opening in 1971, while EPCOT's World Showcase and Hollywood Studios' Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge represent ongoing expansion and reinvention. The resort requires days to explore properly and advance planning for dining and attraction reservations, but remains the essential Orlando experience that draws over 50 million visitors annually.

Universal Orlando Resort (Pass by)

Universal Studios Florida and Islands of Adventure combine movie-themed attractions with the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, where Hogwarts Castle, Diagon Alley, and the Hogwarts Express have created the most immersive themed environment in the industry. The resort's thrill rides, including Hagrid's Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure and VelociCoaster, appeal to older visitors while CityWalk provides dining and entertainment connecting the parks. The upcoming Epic Universe park will expand Universal's footprint with worlds based on Nintendo, classic monsters, and more Harry Potter content.

ICON Park

This entertainment complex on International Drive centers on The Wheel, a 400-foot observation wheel offering climate-controlled capsules with views across Orlando's flat landscape to the theme parks, city centre skyline, and on clear days, the Kennedy Space Center's launch pads. The surrounding attractions include SEA LIFE Aquarium, Madame Tussauds wax museum, and the assortment of restaurants and bars that create an entertainment district without theme park admission prices. The complex provides family-friendly evening options and the aerial perspective that reveals just how much development has transformed Central Florida's former swampland.

International Drive

Orlando's main tourist corridor stretches 11 miles through a landscape of hotels, restaurants, attractions, and outlet malls that serve the millions of visitors who come for the theme parks. The I-Drive Trolley provides affordable transport while the concentration of dinner shows, mini-golf courses, and family attractions creates entertainment options beyond the major parks. The corridor's reputation for tackiness embraces the essence of American roadside tourism while recent development of ICON Park, the Convention Centre district, and upscale dining elevates the options.

Winter Park

This elegant suburb just north of Orlando preserves the sophisticated Florida that wealthy Northerners created as winter retreat before theme parks existed, its Park Avenue boutiques, pavement cafes, and moss-draped streets offering welcome contrast to the tourism corridor. The Charles Hosmer Morse Museum houses the world's most comprehensive collection of Louis Comfort Tiffany works while Rollins College's Mediterranean Revival campus reflects the cultural aspirations of early Winter Park developers. The Scenic Boat Tour glides through the chain of lakes and canals past historic mansions, providing perspective on Florida living before air conditioning made year-round development possible.

Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex (Pass by)

America's spaceport has launched every crewed American mission since 1968 and continues as a working launch facility while the Visitor Complex preserves the history of space exploration through the Space Shuttle Atlantis, Apollo/Saturn V Centre, and the rockets that carried humanity to the moon. The complex's location 45 miles east of Orlando makes it a day-trip destination that often surprises visitors with its emotional impact—standing beneath a Saturn V rocket or touching a moon rock provides perspective that no theme park can replicate. Current SpaceX and NASA launches can sometimes be viewed from the complex, adding contemporary relevance to the historic displays.

Lake Eola Park

City centre Orlando's urban oasis surrounds a spring-fed lake whose iconic fountain, swan-shaped paddleboats, and shaded walking path create the green heart of a city better known for suburban sprawl. The Sunday farmers market brings residents and visitors to the park's edge while the amphitheatre hosts concerts and events throughout the year. The park's position surrounded by downtown's growing cluster of restaurants, bars, and residential towers reveals an Orlando emerging as a real city rather than just a theme park service area.

Thornton Park

Orlando's most charming area fills the blocks east of Lake Eola with brick-lined streets, locally owned restaurants, and the boutique shops that attract residents seeking refuge from chain-dominated suburbia. The district's historic bungalows and apartment buildings create pedestrian-friendly streets while the concentration of brunch spots, wine bars, and farm-to-table restaurants has made Thornton Park the centre of Orlando's emerging culinary scene. Thursday evening wine walks and the neighborhood's walkability provide experiences utterly different from the car-dependent tourism corridor.

Disney Springs

Disney's massive dining, shopping, and entertainment district provides theme park magic without admission fees, its waterfront promenades, celebrity chef restaurants, and unique retail experiences drawing visitors seeking Disney atmosphere on a budget or a break from park exhaustion. The district's four areas—The Landing, Marketplace, West Side, and Town Centre—offer diverse experiences from Cirque du Soleil performances to the world's largest Disney store. Free parking and no admission make Disney Springs accessible to anyone, though the high-end restaurants and premium shopping reflect Disney pricing.

Salon Dulay - Mills 50 District

Orlando's Vietnamese district and emerging arts corridor fills the blocks along Mills Avenue with authentic pho restaurants, banh mi shops, and the craft breweries and galleries that signal area transition. The area's Little Vietnam nickname reflects decades of Vietnamese immigration while the contemporary street art, vintage shops, and creative businesses represent the diverse residents reshaping the district. The Milk District farmers market and the district's culinary diversity provide experiences available nowhere in the tourist zones.

Blue Spring State Park

This natural spring 45 minutes north of Orlando provides winter refuge for hundreds of manatees who gather in the constant 72-degree water from November through March, creating one of Florida's most reliable wildlife viewing opportunities. The crystal-clear spring run offers swimming, kayaking, and snorkelling during summer months while year-round boardwalk trails provide access to the spring boil and historic homestead. The park demonstrates Florida's natural attractions that existed long before theme parks and reminds visitors that the region's springs, rivers, and wildlife remain accessible to those who venture beyond the tourism corridor.
