11 days in Orlando Itinerary

For most people, any mention of Orlando immediately conjures up images of sprawling theme parks filled with characters plucked right out of popular animated movies.

Take a break from the city and head to Andy Romano Beachfront Park and Dunlawton Sugar Mill Gardens. Visit St. Barnabas Episcopal Church and Stetson Mansion for their historical value. Explore Orlando's surroundings by going to Cocoa Beach (Ron Jon Surf Shop & Cocoa Beach), NASA Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex (in Merritt Island) and Modernism Museum Shoppe (in Mount Dora). Have a day of magic on the 10th (Fri) at Disney's Animal Kingdom. Pack the 20th (Mon) with family-friendly diversions at Universal Orlando Resort. Next up on the itinerary: browse the different shops at The Mall at Millenia, make an unforgettable trip to Happily Ever After Fireworks, stroll through Ormond Beach, and enjoy the sand and surf at Beach at Daytona Beach.
