Explore Orlando

You’ve traveled to celebrate with us, and we couldn’t be more grateful. While you’re here, make the most of the Sunshine State. From magical theme parks to quiet springs, here are a few of our favorite ways to spend a day in Orlando.

01 — The Main Event

Theme Parks

Orlando is the theme park capital of the world for good reason. Whether you’re chasing fireworks or roller coasters, there’s a little magic here for everyone.

Walt Disney World

Four legendary parks in one place — Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Hollywood Studios, and Animal Kingdom. It’s pure magic, whether it’s your first visit or your fiftieth.

Universal Studios, Islands of Adventure, and the all-new Epic Universe. Come for the thrill rides, stay for the Wizarding World of Harry Potter — it’s spellbinding.

A perfect blend of the wild and the wondrous. Meet ocean animals up close, then hold on tight for some of the tallest, fastest roller coasters in Florida.

02 — After Dark

Entertainment & Dining

Not every day has to be about the parks. When you’re ready to slow down, share a meal, or find a nightcap, these three spots are where the city comes alive after dark.

Disney Springs

Shopping, dining, and entertainment along the waterfront — and admission is completely free. Wander in for dinner and stay for the live music.

Universal CityWalk

Dining and nightlife with an energy all its own. From themed restaurants to late-night entertainment, it’s the place to keep the celebration going.

International Drive

Known to locals as I-Drive, this stretch is packed with restaurants, mini golf, and attractions — including the ICON Park observation wheel towering over it all.

03 — SPACe Trip

Kennedy Space Center

An hour east of Orlando lies one of the most awe-inspiring destinations on Earth. Explore towering rockets, walk through space shuttle history, and — if the timing is right — witness a live launch light up the Florida sky.

Kennedy Space Center

Just an hour from Orlando, Kennedy Space Center is a must-see day trip. Walk beneath actual rockets, explore the Space Shuttle Atlantis exhibit, meet a real astronaut, and — if you’re lucky — watch a live launch paint the sky.

Planning Your Visit

Kennedy Space Center is about 60 miles east of Orlando — roughly an hour’s drive. Plan to spend a full day; there’s more to see than you’d expect. Book tickets in advance online to skip the lines and check the launch schedule at your hotel — a launch sighting is something you’ll never forget.

Highlights

  • Space Shuttle Atlantis exhibit
  • Astronaut Encounter — meet a real astronaut
  • Heroes & Legends Hall of Fame
  • Launch viewing opportunities (schedule varies)

04 — Slow Down

Nature & Relaxation

There’s another side to Florida — quiet springs, wild landscapes, and gardens made for a slow stroll. If you’d rather trade the crowds for a little calm, start here.

Wekiwa Springs State Park

Crystal-clear natural springs just north of the city. Rent a kayak, wade into the cool water, or simply wander the trails and breathe it all in.

Harry P. Leu Gardens

Fifty acres of botanical beauty in the heart of the city — roses, camellias, and moss-draped oaks. The perfect setting for a peaceful morning stroll.
