So you've planned a week-long vacation with the family and you are heading to Disney World in Orlando, Florida. You've already got your Disney tickets and figure you are all set, that's all there is to do and see. The game plan is Disney, says dad. Well, contrary to popular demand, Orlando is a little bigger than the mouse. He has plenty of friends to spend some quality time with.
Here is a fun list of 16 things to do in Orlando after you have already conquered Disney.
- Mini Golf - honestly, who doesn't love mini golf?
- Shopping at the Outlets, Florida Mall, Mall at Millenia and more!
- Wonderworks
- Water parks- Aquatica, Blizzard Beach, Typhoon Lagoon, Wet 'n Wild
- Ride the monorail and visit the different Disney Resorts. All of them have so much to offer.
- Cirque du Soleil at Downtown Disney - If you have never seen this show, you need to stop what you are doing right now and look for some clips on YouTube, then buy a ticket!
- Also at Downtown Disney…walk along the water and visit the shops, restaurants and especially Lego Land.
- If you want to wander away from all the tourist filled places, check out the Orlando Science Center
- Stroll along Disney's Boardwalk, a re-creation of a 1930s-style Atlantic coastal village. The 45-acre (18-hectare) waterfront district is known for its nightclubs and entertainment hot spots, but all visitors can enjoy the many street musicians, magicians, and performers for free.
- In the evening, watch the fireworks. You don't even need a ticket since they can seen from outside the park. Leave your car in the main parking lot and take the free tram to the Transportation and Ticket Center (TTC) for the best up-close views of the nightly fireworks. If you are staying in a Disney-operated resort, hop on the monorail for free and get off at the Magic Kingdom entrance to watch the show.
- City Walk at Universal Orlando. Bars, shops, movies and more!
- I-Max movies - If you missed BatMan on the iMax, boy did you miss out.
- Blue Man Group at Universal - the ledgendary group has made a second home in the sunshine state. Be sure to see all their blue-ness and rock out with you and your family.
- Orlando Water Sports Complex – Rent a boat or Jet Skis. Wakeboard on a rope or from a boat!
- Arabian Nights or Pirate's Dinner Adventure. All you can eat meals and for the dad in your family, beer is included. Oh, and there is an awesome show to boot!
And last but not least….drum roll pleaseeee…
16. It's Magic season. Dwight Howard and the Orlando Magic currently have the 4th best record in the NBA. Come see a game at the Amway Arena and be a part of the magical season.
