18 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: Philippe Park (in Safety Harbor), Tampa (Busch Gardens Tampa Bay & Fishing Charters & Tours) and Merritt Island (Space Shuttle Atlantis & NASA Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex). Pack the 13th (Fri) with family-friendly diversions at Universal's Islands of Adventure. There's lots more to do: get in on the family fun at Universal Orlando Resort, make an unforgettable trip to Epcot, take in a show at Happily Ever After Fireworks, and try out the rides at Discovery Cove.
