What to do in orlando on non-park days?
If we're there for two or three weeks, we wouldnt go to Disney or universal on every single day
Sure there'll be some downtime I hope LOL some lounger days but other than that, what are some good things to do and see in Orlando or Florida in general?
Re: What to do in orlando on non-park days?
Will you have your own transport?
If so, many people like to visit the beach for a day. I'll send you to the Atlantic side, as I am a true Atlantic ocean lover. Cocoa Beach is an easy ride from Disney. Other folks will send you to the Gulf side, which is a nice experience too. A bit further from WDW (though not much). St. Pete's Beach is nice. :yes:
Blue Springs is not far from WDW (heading north out of Orlando) and if it's cold, you will see manatees. :yes:
The lighthouse at Ponce Inlet is good. Be ready to climb though! :eek: I forget how many steps to the top, but it's long. :D Two hundred and something??? :unsure:
There is a nice science center in down town Orlando, and a few nice museums if you like that sort of thing.
If you like to "antique" there is a strip on Orange Ave, (north of Colonial/50) that has several shops worth poking around in...
All depends upon what you like to do!
