How to best plan 4 days vacation in Orlando?

Well without knowing your interests, traveling solo or family or friends, age and whether the Miami trip is one of the 4 days here are some general thoughts.

First Miami is 3.5 - 4 hours each way so if driving that is a long day in the car.

If the goal is a beach consider Clearwater - soft white sand and an about 1:15 or less to get there. Cocoa Beach is 50 minutes on the Atlantic nice but sand is not as nice.

If four consecutive days in Orlando.

Plan for 2 - 3 theme park days and mak sure you take time to relax.

One thing people end up doing is running around, so plan to go to a fun restaurant, see a show, lay by the pool or have fun shooping at the outlets.

As for deciding on what parks - again your interests are key so check them out. THis site is simple and offer a quick overview. http://orlando-vacation.us/

have fun and enjoy your trip.

The city of Orlando is located in one of many world's many visited tourist parts, which pulls tens of thousands guests each year and you can be one if you take a look with hotelbye . Among the primary tourist attractions of Orlando are: Walt Disney World£Earth, SeaWorld Orlando, and Universal Orlando. Orlando's SeaWorld, with its huge aquariums, dolphin and whale reveals, feel pools, and intensive set of flights, brings a big family crowd is the right destination for a choose the family. In that place you may also get the ability for a close-up encounter with dolphins and other residents. SeaWorld in Orlando is one of the world's largest underwater parks and definitely the absolute most visited.

Honestly, I would go to a planning site, and have a professional help you set up and itinerary and a tour plan. 4 days is very short, and a pro who tours for a living is obviously going to get you the most bang for your buck.

Or-- you can hire someone to tour WITH you for about $200 an hour. Seems like a ton of money to me-- but I know people whose businesses do quite well!

A few hints to help you--

Go to the parks when they open.

Understand Fast pass

Eat at the lounges tied to the restaurant. Not the restaurant itself. No reservations needed that way. I assume you are a party of 1?

Avoid EMH parks.

Good luck!

I am an adult, with NO children and just got back from Disney. If you really want the Disney experience, and don't want to rent a car, and want to be in one place (but not)- then yes- Disney is the thing to do...they have boats to rent, plays to see, the Downtown thing, fireworks, Amusement parks, bikes to rent and go riding, pools, mini golf, the whole thing. But there are kids and crowds and buses and lines and expensive food and the whole thing. And a gift shop every 100 ft. :) My husband and I went- had a nice time. We will never go again.

I've been other times to Florida... I, personally- loved Universal soo much better. I thought it was laid out better, easier to get around, I liked the single rider line system better...thought the rides were better. And one day of amusement is enough for me. After that- I'm good for pools and The Kennedy Space Center!! But that's my taste.

Miami is really far from Orlando. I live on the coast about where Orlando is and it took me about 4 hours to get to Miami. That would leave you with 8 hours of driving that day! If you do go, PLEASE visit Key Biscayne and Miami Beach.

Go to each of the parks in Disney World (Magic Kingdom Epcot MGM Animal Kingdom)

Savor and absorb all the fun.

And have a schedule - great idea.

I would go to one of the Disney parks when you arrive, and stay til close that night.

I would do the day trip to Miami the second day that you are there.

The third day go to Universal. Do the park hopping option - 2 parks in one day.

and the fourth day go back to Disney to round off your trip.

I would go to Disney and if you have children spend time at the kids sites and go to Nickelodeon Studios and Orlando Studios. if it is just you take a Friend and just have fun and try everything.

I would spend one day at the Magic Kingdom, one at Epcot, One at MGM, one day at Animal Kingdom and every evening at Downtown Disney.
