Spring Break Like a Local Itinerary

Pack the car and check in to your home-away-from-home — your dream vacation home, that is. As the Vacation Home Capital of the World^®, Kissimmee has some of the most unique houses, condos, villas, and even mansions you could dream of. Treat the kids (and kids at heart) to a house with its own movie theater or game room, or even its own lazy river!

If you want to stay in a six-bedroom house like the one Aseky and her family enjoyed, check out our guide to finding the best vacation home for your style and budget. The Bonnaire family loved having a spacious home base with their own private pool to relax by after a busy day.

After you’ve settled in and made yourself at home, it’s showtime! Head to Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament. Here, you and your crew will enjoy dinner and a show at North America’s most popular dinner attraction. Travel back to the 11th century and embark on an unforgettable journey as you watch six knights compete to become champion in a tournament of jousting and epic sword fights, while you enjoy a four-course feast in true medieval, pre-silverware fashion, and cheer your knight to victory.

Morning

Rise and shine, it’s theme-park time! Spend the morning at Fun Spot America-Kissimmee. This iconic, family-owned park promises you’ll experience the best guest service anywhere. Hospitality is at the heart of everything they do, and when you're there, you're family!

Will you take things to the extreme and soar from 300 feet on the world’s tallest SkyCoaster? With more than 20 rides to choose from at every level of thrill, everyone in the family will find their fun.

Afternoon

After an exhilarating morning at the amusement park, it’s time to head back to your vacation home and enjoy a lunchtime pool party. Grill up a tasty lunch on your backyard barbecue and kick back and relax — this is vacation bliss. After you’ve taken a breather, refueled, and recharged, it’s time to check out Disney Springs. 

Evening

Explore Disney’s themed retail, dining, and entertainment complex inspired by Florida's charming waterfront towns, filled with boutiques, world-class restaurants, and cutting-edge entertainment, including live music nightly. 

If you’re visiting Disney Springs with kids, we recommend checking out Splitsville Luxury Lanes for dinner and bowling. The menu at this lively indoor-outdoor restaurant offers something for everyone — from mouth-watering burgers to fresh-rolled sushi, hand-tossed pizzas, and gluten-free rice bowls.

Meanwhile, the “golden age of bowling” atmosphere offers a modern dining experience with retro style to spare — spanning two floors, five bars, a billiards area, and 30 bowling lanes, often accompanied by live music.

Morning

Start your day with a thrilling airboat ride at Boggy Creek Airboat Adventures. Get a front-row view of authentic Florida from the safety of airboats guided by U.S. Coast Guard Certified Master Captains as you cruise the headwaters of the Everglades.

After your tour, explore the grounds along lighted brick pathways winding across a lush lawn that hugs the shores of the lake and experience Lily's Butterfly Garden and gator oasis pond. Spend some time digging for gems, fossils, and alligator and shark teeth at the Gem Mine. Plus, combine your airboat and Florida adventure with a wonderful Florida-style barbecue with all the fixins’ in their lakeside restaurant.

Afternoon

Now it’s time to take in aviation history at Stallion 51, which offers the rare opportunity to experience the legendary P-51 Mustang and the historic T-6 Texan. Located at Kissimmee Gateway Airport, Stallion 51 has been a leader in WWII aviation for more than 30 years, offering orientation and check-out training flights as well as family-friendly tours of the operations. 

Evening

Cap off your high-flying day at GameTime. There’s much fun to be had with indoor amusements such as mini bowling, Skee-ball, basketball, and racing games. Play more than 100 interactive games on the Mega Arcade floor with friends and family and enjoy a delicious dinner while you challenge your family and friends.

Morning

It’s the last day of your trip, but there's still plenty of fun to be had. First, head to the town of Celebration. Known for its architecture and famous for its nostalgic elegance, it’s a destination that can’t be missed. The best way to explore is with Celebration Bike Rental, pedaling through picturesque neighborhoods and a vibrant downtown area. Take in the natural wildlife along scenic, winding trails and waterfront pathways.

After working up an appetite, it’s time to chow down at Celebration Town Tavern. This comfortable, family-owned seafood and steakhouse is located across from the lakefront in downtown Celebration and where you can meet friends for happy hour, take the family for a midday meal, or spend the afternoon watching football on the big screen. Pro tip: Try their $5 pineapple brunch mimosas. Aseky loved them!

Afternoon

One last stop on the itinerary is one of Orlando’s newest attractions, the Museum of Illusions. Just a few miles from Kissimmee and with more than 50 exhibits, the Museum of Illusions has more mind-twisting, eye-tricking fun under one roof than any other "edutainment" destination in Central Florida.

Explore the fascinating world of mental perception — and deception — at this must-see destination and leave with a new appreciation for your awesome imagination! Roam the expansive Infinity Room, defy the laws of gravity in the Reverse Room, and shrink to miniature size in the Ames Room. This exciting new attraction is Insta-worthy, with lots of eye-catching photo spots.
