Orlando Vacation Bucket List

It's the ultimate Disney cuisine--the smoked turkey leg, which is available at all Disney parks and water parks.

Whether it’s your first trip to Orlando or your fifth, there are certain things that should be on your bucket list for a visit to Orlando. No matter how many trips it takes to complete this list, here are some of the top things to add to your Orlando vacation bucket list:

1. Take a photograph in front of the iconic Cinderella castle at Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom.

2. Dine on an oversized smoked turkey leg at any of the Disney World theme parks. You might want to share it with a loved one.

3. If you still have room for dessert, polish off a “Mickey Bar”– chocolate-covered vanilla ice cream in the shape of Mickey Mouse ears.

4. Find as many “Hidden Mickeys” as you can at one of the Disney parks or resorts. (Books are available to help you in your search).

5. Enter the Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studio’s Islands of Adventure.

6. Have a “date night” at one of the restaurants or nightclubs at Universal CityWalk—and catch a movie as well.

7. Watch the killer whales perform in the “Believe” show at SeaWorld Orlando.

8. Shop at one of Orlando’s Premium Outlet malls.

9. Spend a day at any of Orlando’s water parks: Typhoon Lagoon, Blizzard Beach, Aquatica, or Wet ‘n Wild.

10. Sample a bit of Old Florida at one of Orlando’s oldest tourist attractions: Gatorland.

This list is just the beginning–make your own Bucket List of things to do in Orlando as you plan for your next vacation. Between all of the theme parks, water parks, and unique attractions, it might take several trips to check off everything you want to do on your bucket list.
