5 days in Orlando Itinerary

For most people, any mention of Orlando immediately conjures up images of sprawling theme parks filled with characters plucked right out of popular animated movies.

Discover out-of-the-way places like Avatar Flight of Passage and Basilica of the National Shrine of Mary, Queen of the Universe. Change things up with these side-trips from Orlando: Space Shuttle Atlantis (in Merritt Island) and Museum of Military History (in Kissimmee). There's much more to do: look for gifts at The LEGO Store, see the world from above with a helicopter tour, catch some excitement at Kilimanjaro Safaris, and get a new perspective on things with Paddleboard Orlando.

For other places to visit, reviews, where to stay, and more tourist information, refer to the Orlando route planner.
