Best places to visit outside of WDW

[feline figaro]

I need some help in getting ideas on places to visit outside of Disney that is nt one of the main parks. We re getting married in Disney in 36 days & will be out there for a 2 1/2 week honeymoon. We ve planned pretty much what we re doing for most of the days but have got a couple free. We d like to do some out of the ordinary things but could nt think of too much idea wise.

Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated

Hi, when we were there I think you could do a day trip to Miami - worth a visit for the day if you haven't been there! How about a day in the everglades as well? Really fancy doing that next time we go back - it looks so much fun!

We're going to swim where the Manatees are in Crystal River. We may or may not see Manatees, but it's looks beautiful, and I can't wait to snorkel there.

This package includes breakfast, lunch, transport to and from your hotel (if on site, and a couple of places off site), and an airboat ride. As well as a visit to a wildlife park. Very cheap for what you get. Even cheaper on other sites (I got mine from ATD), so I wouldn't book through this site.

Swim with the Manatees!
Your day starts in Orlando with an all you can eat breakfast. Then it is off to our team of professional manatee experts in Crystal River. Masks and snorkels are included for a fabulous, narrated boat tour on the picturesque Crystal River.
You are encouraged to swim and snorkel in the home of the Florida manatee while under the guidance of certified Dive Masters. Then enjoy a picnic style lunch over looking this beautiful sanctuary. Your afternoon starts with an exhilarating 45 minute airboat adventure on the beautiful Homosassa River; keep your eyes open for manatees, dolphins as well as a whole host of other wildlife that often accompany us.
To end your day you’ll visit Homosassa State Wildlife Park, famous throughout Florida for the rehabilitation of injured animals. It is here that you’ll have the chance to see the current manatee residents at the park during an informative and entertaining feeding session with one of the park rangers. You’ll also see bears, panthers, alligators and even a hippo as you explore the rest of the park.

Try a few hours at Celebration. It's still Disney, kind of, but not really. On our last trip we spent a couple of hours there, just generally wandering round the town, walking round the lake, and having Sunday lunch at the Celebration Town Tavern. Very pleasant and relaxing.

On our honeymoon we added a day at Discovery Cove, we did the full package and it is an amazing place and its a full day out.

Once you are there you don't have to pay for any food or drink just souviners. They have people going round taking your photo at different locations. we have one of my DH with a parrot on his head that is a priceless memory for us. Ok so the photos and entry are not cheap but for all the you get and the memories it is more than worth it.

We are heading to see the mouse again in Aug/Sep and this year we are going to try the indoor sky diving place. I looked it up online and now can't remember the name but if you look indoor sky diving in orlando on google you should find it.

That's on our list for next year. Yum!

How about visiting Weeki Wachee? It's another thing on our list for next time. The mermaid shows looks good and also fancy kayaking lazily down the river.

Get yourself over to Clearwater beach for a day or two and really relax, you are on your honeymoon, if you get my drift...

we just drove there and were on a boat within about 15 mins of arriving, we did a private ride which was just us and the boat driver on board it was great
