What are some cheap or free things to do in orlando to fill in the spot on my trip where i dont anything plan?
I am going june 10 – 16th I going to universal studios 11th, disney world magic kingdom 12th, Wet n wild 13th, blue man group 14th , and wonder works 15th… i know all these things wont last all day.
Just some suggestions:
Maybe the day you go to Universal, you could go back to City Walk that night for dinner. Lots of good restaurants and entertainment there. If the Blue Man Group show is at night or if you’re planning on going to Wonder Works at night, maybe during the day you could head over to Cocoa Beach and either go to the beach or go to the Kennedy Space Center..You could also go to Gatorland (I’ve lived in Orlando all my life and have just recently gone there!) It’s a good day trip and something interesting to see and do. Or you could go to one of the Florida State Parks that aren’t too far from the Disney area. There’s lots to do other than the parks =) Have fun!
A great thing to do is Downtown Disney. You can easily spend part of your day wandering around there. And, it doesn’t waste any of your park admission days to get in there.
There are also two mini-golf courses on Disney property. They are both a lot of fun, and will kill an hour or so. One is near the Swan/Dolphin and the other is right outside Blizzard Beach (I prefer that one).
You can also hotel hop. It’s free, can easily take a whole day and lets you see the different themeing that the resorts offer.
I am making the assumption that you are at least 18 and can drive to and fro:
There is usually free, live music at Downtown Disney’s House of Blues on the Patio.
Jeff Howell live at Cricketer’s Arms on Friday’s and Casey’s on Central on Saturdays.
Harry P. Leu Gardens all day every day.
Blue Springs State Park is nice
You’ll need to do some googling for these but there is a boat ride up the Saint John’s River out of Sanford, FL that is nice and there is a boat tour on the Winter Park Chain of Lakes that is also very pleasant. You can see some high dollar houses owned by NBA players and what not.
there is no end of bars, arcades, mini-golf, and the like on International Drive
Disney Quest doesn’t suck
In June you can count on major thunderstorms every afternoon from about 3 to 6 and then hardcore humidity in the 80%+ range after that. Plan accordingly.
During the day,, you could also just relax by the pool instead of going out and doing something.
Other things could include shopping at local malls and outlets like the Florida Mall, Prime + Premium Outlets and Mall at Millenia.
Go take a tour of some of the Disney resorts. Go check out the Animal Lodge (or whatever it’s called), it’s beautiful and you get to see some amazing animals for free. The other hotels are just beautiful and worth looking around.
You could go relax by the pool if there is one near you. Go for a walk or go to a cheap resteraunt.
