There's a ton of stuff to do in Florida that's not theme-park related. Although, you could throw a cheeky visit to Seaworld in, which isn't a theme park in the way the Disney ones are, for example.
Other things you can do around the Orlando area are Stand-up paddle-boarding (Home Page), Tree-hoppers (like a Go-Ape kind of thing) (TreeHoppers Aerial Adventure Park), airboat ride (Florida Airboat Tours, Swamp Tours near Orlando and Tampa in Central Florida)
There's loads things like these runs by different companies. I've done each of the above and weld recommend them. They're all family-run businesses that go out of their way to make you feel welcome, in my experience, and you'll get a warm fuzzy feeling that, for once, your not pumping your hard-earned cash into a multi-billion $$ company..
There's a load of shopping in large discount malls around the Orlando area too.
You could also venture further west and south - over to the Gulf coast. St. Petersburg, Clearwater, etc, or south to Naples, Marco Island. If you have time and don't mind the drive, why not go all the way south to Key West - it's a really fun place, with loads of things to do. It's a full-day's drive from Orlando - stop for lunch around Miami or a bit further south in Key Largo. |
