Things to Do in Orlando & Kissimmee

Deciding what to do in Orlando is easy; fitting it all into one vacation takes a little planning. Use this guide to organize days out from your Reunion, Kissimmee or Davenport vacation home, with ideas for theme parks, meals, shopping and time away from the queues.

Start with the activities your group most wants to do, then build in time to enjoy the house and its pool. A full park day followed by an easier morning often works better than a week of early starts.

Things to do in Orlando besides theme parks

Try a round of golf, a shopping afternoon or an evening meal out. For a different view of Central Florida, look into an airboat outing or a visit to a natural spring. Visit Orlando's official guide to attractions beyond the parks is a useful starting point for current options.

Planning with kids or a larger group

Keep a shorter indoor activity in reserve for a rainy afternoon, and check age or height requirements before buying tickets. If your group wants to split up, agree on transport and meeting points first. Our entertainment guide and restaurant guide can help you plan a day that suits different interests.
