First on the list is Bok Tower Gardens. This is where we got engaged!! If you get a chance to go here, you'll see why Evan picked Bok Tower Gardens as the place to propose. The National Historic Landmark was dedicated in 1929 as a gift of gratitude from Edward Bok, a humanitarian, Pulitzer Prize-winning author and world peace advocate. Bok Tower Gardens’ nearly 700 acres of citrus groves, woodland gardens, nature trails, conservation lands and endangered plants are the perfect setting for visitors to explore breathtaking sights throughout the year.
With 4 parks to offer, there is one park for everybody in your family. You can go on a Safari in Animal Kingdom, or take flight with Peter Pan at the Magic Kingdom. Take a ride in an old service elevator at Hollywood Studios or visit 11 different countries in one day at Epcot. At the end of the day, most parks have fireworks for you to enjoy!
Disney Springs has changed so much in the past few years. If you've been here before, it's probably not the same as you remember. You can grab a bite to eat in a rainforest, or see the dinosaurs before they go extinct at T-Rex. If that's not up your alley, how about going to a real alley where you can bowl at Splitsville. Are you up for a unique restaurant experience? Try out Iron Chef Morimoto's restaurant. Also, be sure to check out the Amphicars that start on land and end up cruising on Lake Buena Vista. If you’re in the mood for shopping, there's plenty to do here. From the Lego store, to Goofy's Candy Company, or the Coca-Cola store, to the World of Disney, there's a store for everyone! For the evening hours, you can walk around Disney Springs and find all kinds of live entertainment. There are also plenty of restaurants and bars that are open for a late night snack and drink.
Downtown Winter Garden is home to many independent restaurants and shoppes. The West Orange Bike Trail goes right through the heart of downtown Winter Garden. There are even a few bike rental locations where you can rent a bike. After a long bike ride, check out Crooked Can Brewing Company for a craft beer or The Whole Enchilada for a tasty margarita and tacos.
International Drive, or as locals refer to it as I-Drive, has so much to offer. You can play mini golf with pirates, or on the Congo River, or even see a live gator show! Experience a 360 degree view of the Orlando area on the Orlando Eye. If you have a need for speed, you can try out the cars at Andretti Indoor Karting. While you're there, stop by Topgolf and test out your driving skills and enjoy a bite to eat while you're at it. If you're really adventurous, you can skydive at iFly Orlando Indoor Skydiving.
