Orlando Vacations—Much More Than Magical Theme Parks

An Orlando Best Vacations Ever vacation in a magical dream come true!

I remember the day my dad told our family we were moving to Orlando. I was in second grade and thought, “Wow, I’m moving to Walt Disney World!” As the decades passed and Father Time ticked away, I grew to call it home, and to know and love “The City Beautiful” and how much it has to offer—way beyond the phenomenal Orlando theme parks and nearby beaches. Of course those are the top and most wondrous reasons tens of thousands of traveling families and cohabitating couples vacation in Central Florida year-round. But not everyone is all about pixie dust and Mickey Mouse. Some travelers in the group want more – something more cultural, outdoorsy or adventurous in more unique ways. They want to find their “magic” and satisfaction in activities beyond the theme parks, and they can. I’ve managed to uncover just about every treasure and activity that Orlando has to offer and say with certainty that Central Florida is truly America’s playground and the ideal vacation for everyone in the family.

Have a splash in the Florida sun on a Best Vacation Ever adventure in Daytona Beach.

Beach vacations are one of the number one getaway choices for couples and families alike, especially the tropical atmosphere of Daytona Beach, Florida, and its close proximity to Orlando, which is just an easy hour away. A beach vacation conjures up of images of a tropical, laid-back atmosphere, pristine sands perfect for jogging and the kids’ castle-building, soothing surfs, the East Coast’s best waves for surfing, swaying palms, gentle ocean breezes, glorious sunsets, seaside spa treatments and massages to release pent-up stress, adventurous water sports and coastal adventures, casual to gourmet dining amid the oceanfront, sea cruises, and tiki huts dishing out umbrella-clad tropical spirits and appetizers like freshly caught shrimp and palette-tempting Key-West–style coconut shrimp.
