Celebrate Mother’s Day Weekend: 48 Hours of Family Fun in Kissimmee

Friday, 5 p.m.: Once you arrive you’ll be pretty hungry, so kick your vacation off with a dinner fit for a Queen at Medieval Times Dinner and Tournament. We mean this literally, as you’ll dine alongside Queen Maria Isabella and her royal court while watching knights compete to become a champion. You will be thrilled by the non-stop action while enjoying the Queen’s favorite meal. And if you’re a vegetarian, don’t worry, the royal chefs will cook a special meal just for you!

Saturday, 9 a.m.: Get ready for a full day of fun! Start your first full day of your vacation with an unforgettable experience at EPCOT^®, just in time for the annual International Flower & Garden Festival. It’s the perfect way to celebrate Mother’s Day with stunning floral displays, vibrant topiaries, and even interactive garden experiences.

Before diving into the festival, fuel up with a delicious breakfast at one of EPCOT^®’s unique eateries, featuring tasty options like Mickey-shaped waffles, eggs, and more. After you’ve filled up and taken in the morning sights, stroll through the picturesque gardens, take in the seasonal displays, and discover all the special offerings the festival has to offer. Whether you’re enjoying live music, relaxing in the peaceful gardens, or shopping for unique festival-themed items, EPCOT^® is a beautiful way to spend your Mother’s Day weekend.

Sunday 10 a.m.:  After breakfast, it’s time for an unforgettable adventure! Head over to the Screamin’ Gator Zip Line at Gatorland for a one-of-a-kind experience you won’t find anywhere else. You’ll soar 1,200 feet across the park, gliding high above a beach of sunbathing alligators — Florida’s most iconic reptile!

Once you’ve zipped over the gators, take time to explore the rest of Gatorland’s grounds. Wander through exhibits to spot even more fascinating creatures, including the park’s adorable capybaras. It’s a wild mix of thrills and up-close animal encounters that’ll make this Mother’s Day adventure truly memorable.

Sunday 2:30 p.m.: What a ride! Is your hair still standing on end? Lucky for you, this next stop is all about unwinding and soaking up some well-deserved relaxation. Head over to Margaritaville Resort Orlando, where you can trade thrills for tranquility with a visit to the luxurious St. Somewhere Spa. Treat yourselves to soothing massages, rejuvenating facials, or a signature pedicure as you melt into island-inspired bliss.

When you’re fully refreshed, step outside and bask in the Florida sunshine at the resort’s stunning lagoon-style pool. Whether you’re sipping a tropical drink poolside or floating lazily in the water, it’s the perfect way to cap off your unforgettable Mother’s Day getaway.

Sunday 6 p.m.: Before you say goodbye to your Mother’s Day weekend, take a stroll over to the Promenade at Sunset Walk, located just steps from Margaritaville Resort Orlando. This lively entertainment district is the perfect place to savor those last vacation moments together. Browse unique boutiques, enjoy live music filling the air, and treat yourselves to a delicious meal at one of the many restaurants — Estefan Kitchen is a must.

Whether you're dancing under the stars or picking out the perfect souvenir, it’s a fun and memorable way to wrap up an unforgettable weekend.
