Book a staycation

You’re already living in one of the world’s biggest tourist destinations, so why not take advantage of it! A staycation may be the perfect mini time for you to relax and reset. Orlando has endless options for a staycation, like the Grand Bohemian in Downtown Orlando to Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge. Whether you’re going full luxury or just need a change of scenery, a local getaway is the perfect way to press pause and soak up the summer without ever leaving the 407.

Enjoy a beach day

Nothing says summer like a spontaneous beach day—sun on your skin, sand between your toes, and the sound of waves crashing in the background. Whether you’re building sandcastles, catching a salty breeze with a good book, or diving into the surf, the beach is the ultimate reset button. Pack a cooler, grab your shades, and don’t forget the sunscreen—because no summer bucket list is complete without at least one (or ten) day trips to the coast!
