Theme parks for your Orlando vacation
Walt Disney World
Build your Disney days around your family’s interests: Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Disney’s Hollywood Studios and Disney’s Animal Kingdom offer different experiences. Choose your priority parks before buying tickets, and check attraction height requirements and the current entry arrangements. For a more relaxed schedule, leave a quieter day between long park visits. Visit Walt Disney World’s official planning pages.
Universal Orlando and Epic Universe
Movie fans and thrill seekers can plan days at Universal Studios Florida, Universal Islands of Adventure and Universal Epic Universe. Epic Universe brings together five themed worlds, making it a substantial outing in its own right. Check exactly which parks your ticket includes and use the correct destination in your navigation app. Explore Universal Epic Universe when building your itinerary.
LEGOLAND Florida
For families with younger children, LEGOLAND Florida Resort in Winter Haven offers LEGO-themed rides, shows and play experiences. The resort is designed especially for children aged 2–12. Compare the attractions with your children’s ages and heights, and check whether any water-park visit is included in your chosen ticket.
Gardens, trails and a slower pace
Bok Tower Gardens
Head to Lake Wales for Bok Tower Gardens, where gardens and walking trails surround the Singing Tower. Hammock Hollow Children’s Garden adds an option for younger visitors, while the carillon programme gives music lovers something to plan around. This is a good choice when your group wants a gentler outing between theme-park days; check the current concert and event calendar before travelling.
Lake Louisa State Park
Lake Louisa State Park offers a different side of Central Florida, with lakes and trails through varied natural landscapes. Choose a walk that suits your group rather than committing to a long route. Check park alerts, trail conditions and any activity reservations before setting off, and plan around the day’s weather.
Indoor things to do on a rainy day
Orlando Science Center
Orlando Science Center is a hands-on option for curious children and adults, with interactive exhibits and live science demonstrations. Allow time to explore instead of trying to fit it between several other attractions. Check its opening calendar and current exhibits when choosing your day.
SEA LIFE Orlando Aquarium
For an indoor outing on International Drive, consider SEA LIFE Orlando Aquarium at ICON Park. It can work as a shorter attraction visit paired with a meal in the area. Compare ticket options and booking times in advance, particularly when wet weather sends more visitors indoors.
A cinema visit or an escape room can also give your group a break from outdoor attractions. Promenade at Sunset Walk lists both movie and escape-room options; check age guidance and reserve together if your group wants the same session.
Shopping, dining and evenings out
Disney Springs
Disney Springs brings shopping, restaurants and entertainment together for an outing that does not need to revolve around theme-park rides. Browse the shops, plan a sit-down dinner or choose an entertainment experience. For larger families, booking a restaurant ahead of time makes it easier to eat together; individual activities may need separate reservations.
Promenade at Sunset Walk
In Kissimmee, Promenade at Sunset Walk offers restaurants, shops, movies and live entertainment. Check the events and music calendar to choose an evening that suits your group. It is a flexible option for dinner after a quieter day at your vacation home, without planning another full theme-park visit.
Orlando Vineland Premium Outlets
If shopping is on your itinerary, browse the current store directory at Orlando Vineland Premium Outlets before you go. A short list of priority shops can help keep the outing manageable for a mixed-age group. Allow room in your schedule for traffic and parking rather than pairing shopping with a time-sensitive reservation.
A day trip to the Space Coast
Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex is worth considering as a dedicated day out for space enthusiasts. Highlights include the real Space Shuttle Atlantis and the Apollo/Saturn V Center. Plan the journey separately from your Orlando outings and check the visitor schedule before booking. Treat any rocket-launch viewing as a separate planning consideration, since launch schedules can change.
If your group prefers a coastal outing, start with our Florida beach trip guide. Choose one destination and leave enough time for the return drive to Davenport.
A balanced week at Windsor Island
Use this suggested outline as a starting point, then adapt it to your arrival time, tickets and the weather:
- Arrival day: settle into your home, pick up groceries and enjoy an easy dinner.
- First full day: visit your family’s priority theme park.
- A slower day: relax at your rental, then head to Disney Springs or Sunset Walk for dinner.
- Another attraction day: choose Universal, another Disney park or LEGOLAND to suit your group.
- A change of scenery: explore Bok Tower Gardens or Lake Louisa; substitute the Science Center or aquarium if the weather is unsuitable.
- A flexible final day: choose a Space Coast day trip, shopping or more time at your vacation home.
For current attraction options, see our Orlando attraction and theme-park tickets page. Confirm opening days, ticket inclusions, accessibility information and reservation requirements directly with each attraction before making plans.
Plan your travel from Davenport
Choose your main destinations before building your itinerary. Travel times to theme parks, shopping and the airport depend on your route, traffic and the specific entrance you need. Check live directions for your travel dates and allow extra time for parking and security.
Use the address and arrival instructions on your booking confirmation for your vacation home. Florida Vacation Homes’ office is separate from the resort entrance, clubhouse and the individual homes.
Balance outings with time at your vacation home
When comparing rentals, consider kitchen and dining space, accessible features, bedrooms for each family and whether your group wants a private pool. Confirm any additional charges, such as pool heating, before booking.
Shared resort facilities offer another way to spend part of your stay. Read our Windsor Island amenities guide and check the HOA’s current access rules, hours and availability.
