The Grown-Up Guide to an Orlando Road Trip
If you think Orlando is only home to mouse ears and fast passes, think again. Yes, the theme parks are iconic for a reason, but for Florida and Georgia adults looking for an easy escape (with no cartoon character breakfasts), Orlando has quietly become one of the best-kept, grown-up getaways in the Southeast.
Think art museums with actual quiet corners. Airboat rides through real Florida wilderness. Indoor skydiving before lunch and a comedy show after dinner. Whether you’re planning a couples’ weekend or the kind of long weekend you book on a Tuesday and leave for on Thursday, this is your itinerary — theme parks optional.
