1. Discover The Everglades

Having explored Orlando over the years, extensively, I can confidently say that a journey into the Everglades is an absolute must-do. Located just a few hours south of Orlando, it offers an adventure like no other.

What to expect?

1. Airboat tour
2. Wildlife viewing
3. Bird watching
4. Indigenous culture exploration
5. Photos with a live alligator
6. Educational guided tour

Experience:

Picture this: you’re gliding along, the breeze in your hair, hand in hand with your partner as your knowledgeable guide points out alligators lounging in the sun, exotic birds soaring overhead, and maybe even a glimpse of a playful river otter. That is what Everglades airboat tour is all about. It is undoubtedly amazing. It’s a loveable and exciting experience that I witnessed, and you are not next on the list.

Now, taking over the sights. If you are a nature lover, you will awe your eye with a botanical paradise. From towering cypress trees to endless stretches of sawgrass and intricate mangrove forests, the Everglades is like stepping into a scene from a tropical dream, with vibrant colours and lush greenery as far as the eye can see.

But wait, the spot isn’t just about the wildlife and plants; it’s also a place of incredible cultural and historical significance. Did you know that Native Americans once called this land home? You can learn all about their way of life and how they lived in harmony with nature during your visit.

Now, let’s address the elephant in the room: safety. While the Everglades may seem like a wild and untamed wilderness, it’s essential to approach it with caution and respect. Always follow the guidelines set by your tour operator, stay on designated paths, and never disturb the wildlife or plants.

2. Get Amazed By Universal Studio

Experience:

If you find yourself in Orlando, do yourself a favor and check it out. I promise you won’t regret it.  Beginning with those rides. Oh boy, they were out of this world. Imagine zipping through Gringotts Bank, feeling the rush on the Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit coaster, and being immersed in the Transformers universe in 3D, it was like living in a movie.

However, Universal Studios isn’t just about the rides; it’s a whole experience. Guess what? We caught the electrifying performance of the Blue Man Group – seriously, those guys know how to put on a show. Then, there, you will witness the Universal Superstar Parade; seeing all your favourite characters up close was a dream come true.

And there’s an exciting opportunity for wizarding the world of Harry Potter. From strolling through Hogsmeade to hopping aboard the Hogwarts Express, it was like stepping right into the pages of the books. And yes, also try to cast a spell or two from Ollivanders with your wand. Though it was no luck for us, it was a magical experience nonetheless.

Pro Tip: To make your trip better, use single-rider lines for cool rides like Jurassic World VelociCoaster. Also, come when it's less crowded, plan your route smartly, and think about getting FastPass or Express Pass tickets to wait less and play more.

If you are looking for a wild adventure in Orlando, consider taking a wild detour through the Wild Florida Drive-Thru Safari Park. It’s like being in your own little jungle adventure, except you are in the comfort of your car. And guess what? You are not alone. Over 150 native and exotic animals are roaming freely around you.

There, you’ll find over 200 additional animals and even catch some educational animal shows for your kids. Review my 9^th recommendation to know what more Gator Park has to offer.

Moving to next, check out Zebra Ranch Safari in Lake Wales. It’s like a personalized African animal adventure. You get guided tours through their habitats and can even have a picnic or swim in the lake. Perfect for a family day out.

But let’s remember the views, my friend. As you navigate through the safari park, you’ll be treated to some seriously stunning scenes. You will witness yourself surrounded by Florida’s natural beauty at its best, giving a soothing therapy to your soul.

5. Day Out At Disney World Resort

Walt Disney World Resort is like a giant playground in Orlando, Florida. It’s a magical place where dreams come true, filled with rides, shows, and all sorts of fun stuff. You might have heard of the famous Magic Kingdom, but did you know there are actually four different theme parks in Disney World?

2. Rides
3. Character meet-ups

Then there’s EPCOT, where you can take a trip around the world to taste food from different countries, go on rides, and learn about future tech stuff without ever leaving Florida.

Next, Disney’s Hollywood Studios is where the action happens. You can dive into the world of Star Wars in Galaxy’s Edge or shrink down to toy size in Toy Story Land. And take advantage of those action-packed rides like Tower of Terror and Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster. You will hell enjoy them.

Then is the Animal Kingdom, a little yet astonishing feat for your children. Here, you can pull on a safari ride and see actual animals, explore Pandora from the movie Avatar, and catch fantastic shows like Festival of the Lion King.

Next, there comes Disney Springs, which is like a giant outdoor shopping and dining area. You can grab some food, do some shopping, and even enjoy a show or movie with your family. And if you need to cool off, there are two water parks; we suggest you visit Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon. They’ve got slides, wave pools, and lazy rivers, perfect for a hot day in Florida.

Pro Tip: Don't stay at Disney parks all day. In fact, hit rides in the morning, return to the hotel for lunch and pool, and then go back in the evening. Also, park at Hollywood Studios for easy hopping to other parks via bus, boat, or monorail.

6. Go For An International Drive

If you’re looking for an exciting and diverse experience in Orlando, International Drive is the place to be. Stretching 17 miles from the Orlando Premium Outlets to Walt Disney World, I-Drive is packed with attractions, dining, and entertainment options, making it a tourist hub. And guess what? It’s not as pricey as those big theme parks nearby. Getting around is a breeze, too, with trolleys and buses making stops all along the way. Just remember your sunscreen because you’ll be walking a lot between all the fun spots.

Additionally, if you’re up for a challenge, The Escape Game is there with its tricky puzzles. And if you’re into racing, Andretti Indoor Karting & Games is the place to be, offering karting to laser tag. Similarly, WonderWorks is another excellent spot where you can play with science in a super fun way.

Want to know more? Here you go. Fun Spot America, my favourite, is just too good, with go-kart tracks and roller coasters galore. And last but not least, SEA LIFE Orlando Aquarium is a must-visit for all ocean lovers out there and some underwater adventure. Trust me, there’s never a dull moment on International Drive.

Pro Tip: Get the best bang for your buck by taking the $10 behind-the-scenes tour at Madame Tussauds, The Wheel at ICON Park, and SEALIFE Orlando Aquarium all in one spot. Tuesdays mean half-off fun at Topgolf Orlando, and if you're planning a birthday party, Andretti Indoor Karting & Games has you covered with help from a party planner and tons of activities.

7. Sail Your Eyes Through Lake Eola

Tucked away in the heart of downtown Orlando lies Lake Eola, a hidden gem that’s bursting with charm and tranquility. This 43-acre oasis is like a breath of fresh air amidst the hustle and bustle of city life, offering a peaceful retreat for locals and visitors alike.

It’s incredible how this little slice of nature can make you forget you’re in the middle of a crowdy city.

One of the highlights I remember till now of my visit was taking a leisurely stroll around the lake. The scenic views of the Orlando skyline against the backdrop of the calm waters were simply breathtaking. And, of course, only a trip to Lake Eola would be complete with renting one of the iconic swan boats. Gliding across the lake in one of these charming vessels felt like a scene straight out of a fairytale.

But the magic of Lake Eola doesn’t end there. The park hosts a weekly farmers market where you can sample fresh produce and enjoy live entertainment. As the sun sets, the Linton E.

Oh, and did I mention the “Venetian-style” canals? Yup, you heard that right. These narrow waterways are straight out of a fairytale, lined with exotic plants and trees that’ll make you feel like you’ve been whisked away to Venice.
