Top Orlando Staycation Ideas

Confession, we weren’t able to getaway for spring break.

My husband and I kept talking about a family vacation, but we just ran out of time. I was sad. I saw all of the amazing photos of my family and friends traveling all over the country – and there was definitely a part of me wishing I had gone too.

But then, my husband and I had a brilliant idea. A staycation. With Orlando at our doorstep, we knew that there was so much vacation goodness waiting for our family to discover. So today, I’m sharing my Top 5 Orlando Staycation Ideas! Check out some of family favorite plus be sure to SCROLL down for an amazing giveaway.

Theme Parks

There’s a reason why Orlando is the tourist capital of the world! Orlando offers some of the best theme parks in the WORLD for your family to visit – from Walt Disney World to Universal Orlando to SeaWorld to Water Parks and so much more! With lots of great rides, amazing eats and family memories for years to come, we love taking advantage of all of the Orlando attractions that are just a short drive away!

Lake Eola/Downtown

I LOVE Downtown Orlando. Have you been? Lake Eola is definitely one of the Top Orlando Staycation Ideas for my family. Swan boat rides, picnic areas, playgrounds and wildlife sightings, Lake Eola certainly offers amazing scenery in the midst of tall skyscrapers. One of our favorite day trips, Downtown Orlando is a great family-friendly option for a staycation.

Orlando outlets

Shopping

Orlando is definitely a shopper’s paradise! I should know, I’m part shopaholic. Tons of great malls (like the Florida Mall), outlets (have you been to my favorite Orlando outlet yet?) and amazing prices, you bet that I can get lost in Orlando bargain hunting for a day or five.

Orlando staycation dinner show

Dinner Shows

Want to catch an amazing dinner show? Orlando is FULL of them! It doesn’t get any better than a delicious meal and a night full of entertainment. Be sure to check out my 5 Family-Friendly Orlando Dinner Shows for my family’s top picks.

Amazing Hotel Amenities

Sometimes the best part of a staycation is literally STAYING at the hotel! Orlando definitely has it’s share of amazing hotels with even more amazing hotel amenities. The Radisson Resort Orlando Celebration offers families lots of great ways to keep the family happy during your staycation.
