17 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.

Get out of town with these interesting Orlando side-trips: Merritt Island (Space Shuttle Atlantis & NASA Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex), Tampa Bay Sporting Clays and Archery (in Land O Lakes) and Tampa (Busch Gardens Tampa Bay & Fishing Charters & Tours). Pack the 28th (Mon) with family-friendly diversions at Universal Orlando Resort. There's still lots to do: discover the magic at Walt Disney World Resort, find something for the whole family at Disney's Animal Kingdom, kick back and relax at Discovery Cove, and laugh and play at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
