8 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.

You'll explore the less-touristy side of things at Beach at Daytona Beach and St. Augustine Beach. Your itinerary includes some good beach time at Discovery Cove and Ormond Beach. Get out of town with these interesting Orlando side-trips: Cocoa Beach (in Cocoa Beach), Lighthouse Point Park (in Ponce Inlet) and Fishing Charters & Tours (in Port Canaveral). And it doesn't end there: have some family-friendly fun at The Escape Game Orlando, kick back and relax at Sebastian Inlet State Park, get in on the family fun at Universal Orlando Resort, and take a memorable tour with Tours.
