South Beach, Miami

Saturday
Rest, sleep in, swimming, old town, ??

Depart home leaving Orlando around 1

Do you think we should go to South Beach AND Miami?
Which one is better?
What should we do on Saturday that is around old town Orlando? like maybe a dinner show? or what shopping is in that area?
Is 2.5 days in Universal enough time for both parks?
any suggestions on changing the itinerary?
and if you have any questions please ask and i will respond immediately in the "additional details" section.
Thanks

definitely squeeze in downtown Disney and get tickets for Disney quest it's so much fun! you get to make your own (virtual) roller coaster and (virtually) ride it. They have food places there too



Busch gardens too its soooo much fun! sheikra!! huge drop!



South Beach and Miami



though Miami is better



2.5 days is enough. . .make sure to ride dueling dragons. . .it's the best ride in the park, then comes the hulk and all that stuff. . .in dueling dragons your feet are dangling, so don't wear sandals that day or shoes that easily come off or else you'll have to sit on them. the hulk shoots you out. . .though not that fast, couple of loops. The mummy is a must too and spider man is a really fun ride, you wear 3-d glass you're seated in a car that seems to be falling from building and bouncing from spider webs lolll



I've never been to old town Orlando though



Orlando is soooo much fun!!!



be prepared for long lines since it's summer. Staying at a Disney resort or a Universal Resort (like the portifino or something) they will give you express passes included with your stay.



Have fun on your trip!



P.S. Get a cortadito from a small store in downtown Disney. . .they make it perfect there.



Although I live far I still go plenty of times a year. . .it's worth it :)



Hope this helps!



(Y) peace

This draft puts you driving for hours too often. Clearwater is a beautiful beach, but it is at least 2 hours away from Orlando and the theme parks, so you'd be driving a minumum of 4 hours that day. Miami and South Beach are even further away.....over 4 hours one way....in heavy traffic.....over 8 hours driving time...not my idea of fun.



Why only one day at Walt Disney World? Disney World includes 4 Theme Parks (Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney Studios, Animal Kingdom), 2 Water Parks (Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon), and lots to do at Downtown Disney or Pleasure Island. You could easily spend 3 to 5 days at Disney World and still not see everything.



You have Universal listed 3 times. I think 2 days would be plenty.



Unless you can spend the night in Miami or South Beach; I'd take that off your list. You'll waste too much time driving and not be able to do much once you get there.



It's possible to do Clearwater Beach; but again the driving time will cut into your day. If you do Clearwater Beach, then make the following day your rest day or half day to go to Universal Citywalk, Downtown Disney, or Old Town.



If you skip going to Clearwater, then you could add Days at Disney and some of the other water parks in the area. Another alternative would be to go to Cocoa Beach; it's on the Atlantic Coast, and less than an hour away.



Many people split their time between two cities when vacationing here. For example: Stay two nights near Clearwater-spend two days on the beach or one day at the beach and one day at Busch Gardens in Tampa. Then change hotels and stay near the Theme Parks near Orlando for the rest of the trip.



South Florida, including Miami, South Beach, and the Keys deserve a separate trip.

1. and 2.I recently moved to the South Fl area and can tell you South Beach is NOT worth the 10 hour roundtrip drive. Every person we have come in town wants to see it but leaves disappointed with it. I would not recommend it if you have children!!! The rest of Miami is very dangerous and one wrong turn on your way to South Beach can be fatal. There are huge drug and gang related problems and it is easy to get lost. (and just to let you know South Beach is in Miami)

3. I would recommend Celebration (the town right next to the Old Town attraction) and Downtown Disney. I used to live in Celebration and it is an adorable town with lots of activities. Downtown Disney is also great. You must go to Disney Quest The shows at House of Blues are good and La Nuba is also wonderful. I would not recommend Old Town it is very rundown and has a creepy feel to it let me assure it is known as a tourist trap. Oh and the Premium Outlets off of Lake Buena Vista and the Prime Outlets off of Kirkman have great shopping.

4. You have more than enough time at Universal.

5. I would recommend Aquatica or one of the Disney Water Parks instead of Wet and Wild. There was recently a bad shooting and it is not as nice as the other parks.

* You must also see the Blue Man Group at City Walk while you are in Orlando.

**** Disney has 4 parks not one!!! They take a atleast one day each.

Monday- Dinner in Celebration/ Pool

Tuesday- Islands of Adventure- a Universal Park

Wednesday- Universal Studios

Thursday- Clearwater

Friday- Magic Kingdom-Disney

Saturday- Downtown Disney/ City Walk

Sunday- Epcot-Disney

Monday- Water Park

Tuesday- Animal Kingdom-Disney or Sea World

Wednesday- depart

Wow! It looks like you might want to do some revisions!! South Beach is 4 hours away from Orlando. Universal has two parks so you need to check your tix. You're going to need more than one day at Disney Parks (4 parks all together). Oldtown has a bit of things to do including the best pizza at sizzler's. Enjoy!!

Not enough time for Disney World unless you have been there before. There are 4 parks and I would go for a MINIMUM of 2 days and that is rushed. I like to give each park 1 day.

Sebastian=HUNK Cade sounds ideal too Jackson is likewise a attractiveness that i hit upon ideal Royce & Jace= gay sounding (no offense to all people with that call!) it fairly is something with regard to the "ce" sound on the top of those 2. each and every of the others are purely average/in between for me. yet it fairly is purely my opinion lol
