I'm currently planning another trip and wanted to share some fun things to do in Orlando. These are all the things that I do when I go, and I absolutely recommend all of these things.

Sea World is more than just animals; there are so many attractions, good food, and events that make it a must-do experience.
SeaWorld: Visit with Purpose
This is such an extraordinary experience if you love animals. Discovery Cove is an all-inclusive day resort where you can swim, snorkel, and meet a wide variety of animals. They provide as much food and drink, towels, and sunscreen as you need.

No Orlando list could be complete without Disney. I grew up visiting Disney, and that Disney magic never went away. While ticket prices can be steep, websites like Undercover Tourist and AAA have discounted tickets.
Walt Disney World® Resort - Undercover Tourist
if you have a free night, this is a great way to spend it. This is such an extraordinary show and I always recommend it to anyone coming to Orlando. The dining.best part is its located in Disney Springs were there are so many options for dining.
Drawn to Life - Cirque du Soleil
Another big attraction to see is Universal, which just opened a new gate called Epic Universe. Just like with Disney, I really recommend using Undercover Tourist for discounted tickets and deals.
This is another great family-friendly attraction. There are so many things to do, like animal encounters, zip lines, and even a monster truck ride. The main draw to this park is its alligators and crocodiles, hence the name.
Tickets - Gatorland
This is another amazing experience, especially if you have artists in your family. This is a very hands-on, fun experience where kids get to color, create artwork, and even create their own crayon.

Places to stay
A great way to save money while staying in Orlando is to look for hotels near Disney Springs. They are close to many of the attractions that I've shared in this post.

Shopping and Dining
This is the epicenter of dining, shopping, and more in the Disney bubble. It’s so vast that honestly you couldn’t do everything in one day. I really recommend taking a day to enjoy all the food and everything else it has to offer.
Disney Springs: Shopping, Dining & Entertainment in Orlando
This is Universal’s answer to Disney Springs, full of shopping, restaurants, and fun activities. Please note that you do have to pay for parking here unlike with Disney Springs.
