Best for Grown-ups
Let's face it: Orlando and the theme park zones usually crawl with kids. That's fine if you have your own in tow, but if you're looking for some quality adult time (or at least a place not necessarily swarming with children), you do have some options. Some people are incredulous when informed that Orlando is the honeymoon capital of the United States, but it happens to be true; so be assured that there are activities, hotels, and so on that are geared to adults here (though, admittedly, avoiding kids altogether is tough). Aside from the romantic hideaways discussed above, here are some good bets for adults: Top 10 Orlando-Area Activities for Grown-Ups 1. Spa Treatments -- First-rate spas such as those at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, the WDW Dolphin, the Buena Vista Palace Resort, the Portofino Bay Hotel, and the Gaylord Palms provide heavenly pampering and relief for the sore muscles and tired feet caused by the parks. 2. World Showcase Pavilions -- Experience a 'round-the-world journey, visiting 11 "nations" with authentically reproduced architectural highlights, restaurants, shops, and cultural performances. 3. Cirque du Soleil -- This no-animals circus is compelling for most anyone older than the age of 6, but its intensity and choreography make it a real winner for adults. 4. Pleasure Island and CityWalk -- These entertainment and restaurant districts are located at WDW and Universal Orlando, respectively. They provide nonstop fun for the wine-dine-and-dance set. 5. A Romantic Dinner at Victoria & Albert's -- Loving couples cherish the intimate evening and scrumptious seven-course dinner at the headline restaurant in Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa. 6. Discovery Cove -- SeaWorld's sister park offers guests a chance to rest, relax, and swim with the dolphins in a remote island atmosphere. It's an expensive but ultimately satisfying retreat. 7. Richard Petty Driving Experience -- Vrrrooooommmmmm! If you're 18 or older and have the courage, try driving or at least riding in a real NASCAR rocket at speeds significantly above the legal limit. 8. The Grand 1 -- Take another break from the Mickey madness and cruise Disney's Seven Seas Lagoon (perhaps catching a glimpse of Wishes fireworks) aboard this vintage, 44-foot yacht. 9. Innoventions -- Epcot is generally geared more to adults than the other WDW parks, and this display of future technologies is especially intriguing, providing a preview of life well into the 21st century. 10. Tee Time -- Orlando is home to some of the country's best golf courses -- Walt Disney World alone offers 99 holes, including one with a sand trap shaped like Mickey Mouse -- so enthusiasts will find plenty of places to tee up.
