Dr. Laura Scott Itinerary

Recently, Miami-based dermatologist and influencer Dr. Laura Scott visited Kissimmee with her adorable family for a few days of fun and adventure. Dr. Laura and her family of six are a dynamic bunch and always on the go. And while they were here, they had plenty to do! They rode bicycles together, splashed around at a waterpark, and even went on an airboat looking for gators. Want to have just as much as Dr. Laura and her family did during your visit? Follow along with her itinerary, and you’ll delight every member of your family.

Day 1

After a long trip, there’s nothing better than arriving at your destination, unpacking your bags, and relaxing. That’s exactly what Dr. Laura and her family did at their vacation home courtesy of Encore Resorts at Reunion.

Encore Resorts at Reunion

Encore Resorts offers a variety of accommodations for large families and groups. Every stay is designed to feel like life at home with the amenities of a resort. The best part is you can stay your way. You might like a day spent unwinding while watching movies and spending some quality time together, or maybe you’ll spend your first day here like the Scott family did — unpacking, relaxing, and playing in your own private pool. No matter what you do, be sure to take some time to recharge from your journey for all the activities on the horizon.

Your first full day of vacation is guaranteed to have some excitement for the whole family.

Gatorland

To start the day, the Scott family went with a classic attraction in Kissimmee, Gatorland! This iconic Kissimmee attraction has plenty of activities for adults and kids and is home to all kinds of cool animals. Iguanas, giant tortoises, exotic birds, you’ll find them all at Gatorland. Oh, and of course — hundreds of gators! Check out their reptilian shows to keep the kids entertained, like the Legends of the Swamp, Gator Jumparoo, and, if you’re feeling brave enough, the Up-Close Encounter Show.

Day 3

Day three, you’re not just getting your feet wet, you’re diving into everything from endlessly exciting waterparks to fascinating underwater worlds and the Scotts knew exactly how to fit it all in!

Island H2O Live!

Splash into the day by heading over to Island H2O Live! Whether you’re a kid or a kid at heart, this waterpark features all the fun under the sun that you could ever want. There are multi-guest waterslide races, a lazy river for those who take relaxing on vacation very seriously, and even a live DJ supplying groovy vibes all day.

SEA LIFE Orlando Aquarium

Next, the Scott family visited SEA LIFE Orlando Aquarium for a new wave of underwater adventures. Sea Life Orlando’s interactive and dynamic underwater world lets you get face-to-face with creatures like seahorses, octopuses, jellyfish, turtles, and even sharks! Plus, this is the home of a 360-degree ocean tunnel where you’ll feel like you’re walking on the ocean floor.

Café Tu Tu Tango

After all those underwater adventures, it’s dinner time, according to Dr. Laura. Stroll over to Café Tu Tu Tango, where their specialties are small plates meant to be shared by the table, and their cuisine is as experimental as their décor. This is a unique and eclectic spot to spend an evening while enjoying live entertainment throughout the night and resident artists painting patrons as you enjoy a delicious dinner!

Day 4

It’s the final day of vacation. Have we saved the best for last? There’s only one way to find out!

Showcases of Citrus

There’s no better way to start your day than by having a tall glass of orange juice and visiting the family-owned Showcase of Citrus orange farm! Don’t be fooled, however, this isn’t your average farm tour. You’ll be able to tour this citrus farm just like the Scott gang did — aboard a monster truck that’ll take you through the 50 varieties of citrus trees! Not only that, you’ll also enjoy a swamp safari tour showcasing the native flora and fauna of Central Florida.

Columbia Restaurant

It’s lunchtime (time sure flies when you’re having fun!), and you’re headed to Columbia Restaurant, overlooking the picturesque Lake Rainhard in Celebration Town Center. This restaurant serves up tasty traditional Spanish and Cuban cuisine and has been family-owned and operated for over 100 years! We definitely recommend the mojitos and sangria pitchers — they’re perfect for parents looking to unwind.

Kilwins Chocolate & Ice cream

Walk off that delicious lunch like the Scotts did and grab a sweet treat at Kilwins Chocolate & Ice Cream, providing handcrafted chocolates and ice cream since 1974. Before you leave, don’t forget to grab one of their signature gift baskets as souvenirs for loved ones back home, as well as one of their self-proclaimed ‘perfect’ caramel apples. You know, for the road! A perfectly sweet end to an amazing culinary tour of Kissimmee.

Boggy Creek Airboat Adventures

Finally, the Scott family went for an airboat ride with Boggy Creek Airboat Adventures, where you’ll get to experience the unique wildlife that calls Central Florida home. This wild ride will bring you up close and personal with some of Florida’s most famous residents. Then, afterward, explore the Native American Village, visit the Gator Oasis Pond, and give the young ones in the family a chance to dig for fossils, gems, and even alligator and shark teeth in the Gem Mine. You can choose to either have an airboat adventure during the day, sunrise, or night, which is perfect for the sunrise chasers, night owls, and everyone in between!
