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.

Change things up with these side-trips from Orlando: Merritt Island (NASA Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex & Space Shuttle Atlantis), St. Augustine (Flagler College & St. Augustine Distillery) and Tampa (Sacred Heart Catholic Church & Fishing Charters & Tours). 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, get your game on at The Escape Game Orlando, and explore the world behind art at Charles Hosmer Morse Museum of American Art.
