Free day at beginning of trip?

[Rory607]

We will be arriving in Orlando before the rest of our group and I’m trying to figure out what to do. We will be getting in in the morning and will be taking a shuttle or Uber from the airport with our luggage, so I don’t really want to deal with going somewhere else in Orlando.

Is there enough at CityWalk to keep us busy until late afternoon/early evening? It will be December, so weather for swimming will be iffy. We will have a club level room, so hopefully we can spend some time in the club lounge, but I’m worried the kids will be tired, bored and whiny. My H wants to add another park ticket, but I prefer to wait and go into parks with our entire party the next day.

Just off the top of my head, there's a very cool miniature golf course at City Walk as well as a full movie theater, plus lots of shopping & eating places, too

I would recommend the mini golf as an option if the weather doesn’t work for the pool. They should also be adding escape rooms into city walk. CityWalk is mostly food and few stores. You could always schedule a sit down meal. My kids love using Toothsome as a brunch place. The club level is also nice. I have only been to Portofino but it is a nice way to grab food and a view and the piazza is nice as well there. You could consider hotel hopping. Cabana Bay has a bowling alley.

Mini golf is a great idea, thank you!
