Things To Do

Many of you know that we love Disney & Universal, but there are so many reasons that we love spending time in the Orlando area! Here's a few ways to spend your Orlando day NOT in a theme park... ...and obviously our recommendations on how to spend your day in the parks, too.

Take Advantage of the Grande Lakes Amenities

The Ritz-Carlton & JW Marriott share many incredible amenities including access to the Spa, Luxurious Pools, Grande Lakes Waterpark, Golf Course/Driving Range, Fitness Center, Mountain Bike rentals, Tennis Courts, and more! A handful of these amenities are included in your room block booking and some require additional booking.

Play a Round of Golf

There are 38 public golf courses in and around Orlando. We recommend scheduling a tee time at Shingle Creek Golf Club, Orange County National Golf Center, or any of the Disney Golf courses for a great round!

Visit Winter Park

Winter Park is one of our favorite Orlando areas! There are plenty of shops, restaurants, and even a boat ride on one of the lakes. Favorite Restaurants: Hamilton's Kitchen, Briarpatch, Boca, Bosphorous Favorite Bars/Drinks: Wine Room, AVA Mediterranean

Shop at Orlando Vineland Premium Outlets

8200 Vineland Avenue, Orlando, FL 32821

The outlets are only a 15 min drive from the Grande Lakes property and have the BEST outlet stores including Gucci, AG, All Saints, Armani, Bottega Veneta, Brunello Cucinelli, Burberry, Dolce & Gabbana, and many more!

Disney World or Universal Studios

If you plan to visit any of the theme parks during your stay, we recommend mapping out your plan well in advance. There is a shuttle from the Grande Lakes to and from the parks for hotel guests. If you plan to visit Disney World, we recommend downloading the Disney World app to manage your visit. If you're hoping to hit many attractions in one day, it may make sense to purchase a Lightning Lane Multi Pass and/or Lightning Lane Single Pass to ensure you get on all of the attractions you're hoping to do! If you plan to visit Universal Studios, we recommend downloading the Universal Studios FL app to manage your visit. Please note, Universal's newest theme park, Epic Universe, will be open by our wedding weekend! As always, we are more than happy to field any Disney/Universal planning questions that you may have!!
