Orlando, Florida, is the ultimate family destination, but did you know it's also an amazing adults-only vacation? Join us on an epic audio journey as we explore some of the best things to do for adults in Orlando, including top-rated dining, wine tasting, sunset kayaking, and adrenaline-pumping roller coasters. Pack your bags and join me and producer Luke as we head to the theme park capital of the world to show you why this sun-soaked city isn't just for families; it's also the perfect grown-up getaway if you want thrill rides paired with buzzing bars, restaurants and shopping. In this episode of Travel Goals, we're swapping character breakfasts for wine tastings, thrill rides for even bigger thrill rides and discovering a more sophisticated side to Orlando. One with sunset kayaking, indie wine bars, swish hotels and luxury dining Of course, we're still hitting the big-name parks because riding TRON Lightcycle / Run or drinking Butterbeer in Diagon Alley is just as magical when you're grown up. You can race through the raptor paddocks on the Jurassic World VelociCoaster, face the First Order on Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance, and then hop on classic rides that bring back all the childhood nostalgia. But we're also stepping outside the parks to explore Orlando's cooler, calmer corners. Expect leafy neighbourhoods with boutique shops and culture, glass-bottom kayaking through glittering lakes, and wine tasting in bougie bars. If you're planning a getaway, a couples' escape, a group trip, or a trip with the girls, this episode will help you plan your dream grown-up adventure in Orlando, with where to stay, play and eat. If you're looking for a fabulous hotel, Lake Nona Wave Hotel is highly recommended. Please note that since the recording at Lake Nona Wave Hotel, Haven Kitchen has now become Garni Café, and Haven Lounge has now become The Nectar Room. Make sure to check them both out.
