You should consider from three days to a week, especially if you plan to visit several theme parks.
We suggest starting your driving tour in Orlando, most of the U.
S.
airlines and several international airlines serve the Orlando International Airport and the near Orlando-Sanford International Airport, as well as Amtrak passenger and auto train services.
Orlando is home to several theme and amusement parks.
Here is located the world famous Disney World, that include four theme parks, Magic Kingdom, Disney's Hollywood Studios, Epcot and Animal Kingdom, and two water parks Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon.
Also the Downtown Disney is an entertainment complex with shops, restaurants, movie-theater, clubs, arcades, acrobatic artistry, outdoor theater, music, the famous Cirque du Soleil "La Nouba", and even an indoor interactive theme park, Disney Quest.
Another giant is Universal Orlando Resort; with two parks, the always popular Universal Studios, a movies base theme park and Islands of Adventure, a rollercoaster's base theme park.
Part of Universal Resort is City Walk an entertainment complex with nightclubs, restaurants, shops, concerts and cinemas; here you can have a night of fun with friends and family, or a romantic evening for couples.
And of course SeaWorld Parks that offer SeaWorld Orlando, a marine life base theme park, Aquatica a water park and Discovery Cove is an all inclusive tropical getaway that offer exciting animal encounters, like swimming with dolphins or snorkeling on a man made reef with thousands of exotic tropical fishes and rays.
Another famous attraction is Wet and Wild, one of the best water parks in the nation.
Of course there is more to see and to do in Orlando.

Once you have satisfied your taste for Orlando, drive east towards the coast, on the 528 expressway "The Beachline".
You are heading towards the Florida's Space Coast, a 72 miles area along Florida's East Coast, to enjoy a visit to Cape Canaveral, Titusville, Merrit Island, Cocoa and Cocoa Beach.
Visit historic downtown areas in Titusville, Cocoa, and Cocoa Beach.
All of these districts are great destinations for dining, shopping, enjoy a play or a free event host regularly, perusing an art gallery or just taking an afternoon stroll.
Over 100 of the best surfing spots on the East Coast can be found right here on Florida's Space Coast; as well as some of the best Florida's Beaches.
Relax and enjoy the beach and the beach scene.
Try your surfing skills, you can also try parasailing, skipping the waves on a boogie or kayaking at the break of dawn.
Enjoy an afternoon at the Cocoa Beach Pier, home to several shops, restaurants and bars, and during the summer, concerts and live musical entertainment.
