I struggled with what forum to post because there is different people that read different forums. because it's kind of in line with the top 5 videos that disunplugged has been posting and this forum has a wide variety of posters that know what is outside of theme parks I thought it might be a great place to try this.
My list that fits in the rest day even for an onsite guest to possibly head too and a reasonable cost uber or taxi ride to get there.
5. Escape rooms (and I haven't had a chance to try the recently opened zombie variation of these). If your near a major city, you probably have a dozen choices of these types of places but if your not or far enough from them, it could be a nice rest day family puzzle outing to do one. Easy to combine with lunch or dinner off property.
4. Dr Phillips performing arts center. Just great entertainment being booked there and mutliple theaters (with a new one being built to add to it). You can even see broadway shows that tour down to here for a week every month or two. So close to property, it's closer to MK than the value resorts are and you can exit property near ft wilderness to get there avoiding most traffic you might see on i4 or 192 (and it's the faster route to get there from property unless staying at a value near i4 or 192 entrance).
3. Air boat rides to see central florida in its more natural state. (even better if you can do an everglades one but don't jump right into that, get your feet wet with a closer option first). Also available in trips to west coast/clearwater and down to miami for some south beach enjoyment leaving from the orlando area.
2. 4rivers. Just great bbq and even with the travel, there is generally other things near them you can easily make an afternoon doing.
1. A helicopter tour (especially the illuminations fireworks one). Can be as low cost as $30 a person with others filling in the seats you can't fill. fireworks being the pricer one. generally available in the disney or idrive areas and they do vary in what they go over depending on how much your willing to spend
What are your top 5 (or top picks if you don't have 5) for non-theme park destinations?
