MAKE IT YOUR DAY
A few things to consider
Day one: your main attraction
Choose a park, show or activity that you most want to experience. Keep the rest of that day flexible.
Day two: a local outing
Pick a neighborhood or nearby town for a meal and one or two activities, rather than crossing the whole Orlando area.
Check the event date
Markets, performances and special menus may run only on certain days. Confirm the current schedule directly.
Protect your departure time
Allow for the drive back, parking or rental-car return when planning your final stop.
Tell Clem your arrival and departure times, where you are staying and the videos you saved to shape your weekend.
Plan with Clem ↗Official planning resources
Hours, prices, menus and availability can change. Check the official venue details before visiting.
