Days 2 to 7
Orlando
The next week has been left free for the child in you to enjoy the many theme parks and attractions that Orlando has to offer. Universal Orlando Resort boasts two theme parks, Universal Studios Florida and Islands of Adventure, as well as a water park and the shops and restaurants of Universal CityWalk. Disney choices range from Disney’s Magic Kingdom Park – with Cinderella Castle at its heart – to Disney’s Animal Kingdom Park and the two family friendly waterparks, Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon and Disney’s Blizzard Beach. Other options include LEGOLAND Florida and, slightly further afield, the Kennedy Space Center. Just be sure to ask your travel agent about booking multi-day passes in advance as this can often save you time and money.
In the evenings – or if you want a day off from park-based amusement – you’ll find plenty elsewhere to entertain you in Orlando, including trendy craft breweries, eclectic shops and cutting-edge restaurants. The Milk District and Mills 50 are two especially up-and-coming neighbourhoods that really come alive after dark. -
Days 8 to 11
Naples
Drive south to Naples and check in for four nights at Naples Bay Resort. Located close to downtown, the resort offers almost every amenity under the sun, including a tennis club, fitness centre, full-service spa and a number of great restaurants. It’s also the only hotel in Naples with a marina offering direct access to the Gulf of Mexico, making it perfect for boat trips and watersports enthusiasts. Naples itself is a stylish, upmarket town known for its white-sand beaches, championship golf courses, good selection of restaurants and high-quality boutiques. It also makes a great base from which to explore the Everglades.
