9 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 Clearwater Beach and Pirate's Cove Adventure Golf. Charles Hosmer Morse Museum of American Art and Tampa Firefighters Museum will appeal to museum buffs. Get out of town with these interesting Orlando side-trips: Merritt Island (Space Shuttle Atlantis & NASA Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex). Have a day of magic on the 11th (Sat) at Walt Disney World Resort. Have a day of magic on the 17th (Fri) at Magic Kingdom Park. The adventure continues: find something for the whole family at Universal Orlando Resort, discover the magic at Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park, shop like a local with Timothy's Gallery, and test your problem-solving skills at popular escape rooms.
