Days 1-4

Orlando

You’ll start in Orlando, ready to take on the incredible theme parks. Whether you want to experience the sheer magic of Walt Disney World’s four parks or dive into Universal Orlando to meet the Minions and take an adventure to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, make sure you allow enough time to experience it all. Hit the parks, but linger longer to relax by the pool in your hotel, allow enough for a round or two of golf on the region’s pristine courses, or head to the outlet malls to pick up some bargains?

7-Day Magic Ticket
Orlando

Seven days of access to Disney’s theme parks across 15 days. Parks include Magic Kingdom Park, EPCOT, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, Disney’s Animal Kingdom, and Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon or Disney’s Blizzard Beach (whichever of the two water parks is open). A Disney Magic Ticket is also a Park Hopper ticket, which allows you to visit multiple theme parks and water parks on the same day. Children under three don’t need a ticket.

Magic Tickets include entry to Disney’s Oak Trail Golf Course and one round of mini golf at Disney’s Winter Summerland or Disney’s Fantasia Gardens daily.

An extra benefit of the Magic Ticket is Memory Maker, where you can download and keep digital copies of all your attraction photos and photographs taken by Disney PhotoPass photographers throughout the parks – perfect for getting professional family photos with everyone in them!

You won’t receive a paper ticket. Instead, your tickets and Walt Disney World arrangements are stored on your My Disney Experience account, which you’ll need to set up. Download the app where you can link and store your tickets. In addition, when you arrive, you can buy an optional MagicBand that you wear on your wrist that links to your My Disney Experience account so you can use it to scan into the parks and your Disney resort room, redeem your Disney Dining Plan (if selected), and make purchases in the parks.

Kennedy Space Centre
Orlando

From the Orlando, travel eastwards to Port Canaveral which is home to NASA's John F. Kennedy Space Center. This is an immersive, interactive and informative wonderland which takes you on a metaphorical journey into the universe, learning about past, present and future of space exploration. Highlights include (but are definitely not limited to) a Peanuts themed theatre show, the Apollo Treasures Gallery and the Space Shuttle Atlantis.

Enhance your experience by booking the Explore Tour, a behind-the-scenes adventure that takes you to various points of the spaceport, such as the Vehicle Assembly Building and the NASA Press Site, for once-in-a-lifetime photo opportunities. The tour route depends on the operational programme of the centre.

It is a digital pass you can download to your smartphone or print. Present the pass at the participating attractions to bypass the regular queue. The Express ride access is a separate line with a shorter wait time at each valid attraction. Universal Express is available for Universal Studios Florida, Islands of Adventure, or Epic Universe.

Fun Spot America Theme Parks
Kissimmee

Up for some good old fashioned fun? Look no further that Kissimmee's theme park blast from the past, Fun Spot America Theme Park. This is proper old school Americana - think family fun fuelled by oh-so-bad but oh-so-good hot dogs, slices and soda. The rides may be less innovative than those at the poster-child theme parks but they're no less thrilling.

Have a go on the high-flying Headrush 360, throw your hands in the air like you just don't care on the Galaxy Spin coaster, or get competitive on the go karts and bumper cars. This is the perfect place to pair with an afternoon exploring Old Town Kissimmee when you are taking a day out from the main parks.

There are a selection of ticket options available including the Sampler which includes four rides, two drinks (draft beer or wine) or unlimited soft drinks. Chat to us for more details.

Upgrade to a convertible
Napa & Sonoma Wine Countries

There’s no better way to experience an American road trip than with the roof down and the wind in your hair. Enjoy panoramic views as you cruise along scenic highways, from coastal routes to vibrant city streets. Convertibles are perfect for the open road, and let’s face it, they’re just cool.

Top tips:

• Wear a secure hat and plenty of sunscreen
• Pack light and use soft bags because they'll fit into the trunk more easily

Add a touch of adventure and style to your journey with this upgrade and make every mile unforgettable.

Days 5-6

Naples

You’ll collect your hire car and hit the road, heading south to Naples on Florida’s southwest coast. It’s a good idea to head west to Tampa, then drive down the West Coast, perhaps calling at Sarasota and pausing at sugar-white beaches. The drive alone will take around four hours, but you’ll want to plan a whole day for the journey to allow for stopping along the way. Stroll along Naples’ 1888 pier, shop for trinkets in little boutiques on Fifth Avenue, and find a bayside bar for drinks with a sunset view. The white sands of the Gulf Coast will likely prove irresistible during your time here.

Days 7-9

Miami

Take the 130-mile drive to Florida’s east coast. The journey takes you directly through Big Cypress National Preserve and the Everglades. Pause and take an airboat adventure through the water, or continue straight to Miami, where glamour awaits. Miami is a sultry, sub-tropical beauty fringed by swathes of beach, infused with a vibrant arts scene, spiced up with Hispanic heritage, and crowned by Art Deco elegance. Hang out with the hip crowds in Wynwood, catch the aroma of Cuban coffee in Little Havana, browse endless galleries and shops, and sip cocktails on a rooftop over lively Ocean Drive.

Miami Guided City Tour
Miami

A thriving hub of art, history and culture, Miami also plays home to some of the USA’s most breathtaking beaches, which is where this guided adventure begins. Embrace the enchantments of the Magic City as you saunter its soft white sands barefoot before swapping the rolling ocean waves for a wander around the array of art deco buildings. Observe age-old hotels and establishments from times gone by before reentering the modern era to spectate the stunning skyscrapers that tower the vibrant city streets. You’ll also pay a visit to the lush enclave of Coconut Grove, as well as the city’s luscious green parks, The Kampong and the Barnacle Historic State Park. The next two stops on our itinerary explore Miami’s Spanish speaking community, where you’ll learn all there is to know about the city's Latin artists. The day will draw to a stylish close at Bayside Marketplace, where you’re free to shop til you drop or savour a thirst-quenching sip overlooking beautiful Biscayne Bay.

Days 10-11

Key West

Driving from Miami all the way to Key West is an incredible day on your holiday. It’s a four-hour drive without stops, so plan to set off early. Along the way, there are clear waters and beaches to admire, plus you get to cross the remarkable Overseas Highway, a 113-mile road linking the Florida Keys. Key West blends tropical beauty, rich history, and a lively atmosphere. Take a sunset sail, visit Ernest Hemingway's house, or see the southernmost point marker of the United States. After a day of adventure, relax with a slice of the local key lime pie and an icy drink while watching the sunset over the Gulf of Mexico.

Key West Old Town Trolley Tour
Florida Keys

The island of Key West is full of fun and exciting things to do and see. Explore Key West in the most authentic way aboard an Old Town Trolley that circles the entire island. From the Southernmost Point to the quaint streets of Old Town, this tour has 12 different stops for you to explore all the major areas and attractions, with unlimited re-boarding along the 90-minute route.

See Key West's first tourist attraction, the Key West Aquarium, which was also the world's first open air aquarium. Moving on to Harry Truman’s Little White House which is the state of Florida’s only presidential suite with a rich history spanning back to 1912. The Oldest House Museum is also nearby; it's one of the many beautifully restored homes that are open to the public in Key West dating back to 1829. Stop four covers the famous Duvel Street which has historic significance with St Paul’s Church and the San Carlos Theater. However, it’s probably most famous for being home to nighttime hotspots like Sloppy Joe’s Bar and Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville. Alight at stop five and see the Ernest Hemingway House Museum where he's rumoured to have written A Farewell to Arms - and don't forget to look for the six- or seven-toed cats! The next few stops provide some contrast; check out the Civil War-era East Martello Fort and Museum and relax on the white sand of Smather’s Beach. Saving the best till last with Stop 10 being at the monument that marks the southernmost point in the US, just 90 miles from Cuba. The tour doesn’t have to end there – you could head back to the Old Town to cool off with a drink and savour Key West with its shops, cafés and galleries. Make sure to stay in Mallory Square for an unmissable sunset.

Hop-on-hop-off trolley One day of unlimited re-boarding at 12 stops Complimentary admission to Sails to Rails Museum Stops include Mallory Square, Duval Street, Southernmost Point and Historic Waterfront
