We took an evening bioluminescence tour with
A Day Away Kayak Tours at the Merritt Island Preserve in Titusville, about an hour's drive from Marriott Cypress Harbour. Several companies offer daytime kayaking tours there and at Blue Springs State Park, also about an hour's drive. Many manatees winter over in the Blue Springs. They may be viewed when walking the state park's nature trail if you don't want to kayak at this shady state park.
The
ICON Orlando giant ferris wheel (formerly the Orlando Eye) on International Drive might be fun. We recently rode a similar wheel in National Harbor, MD, and had great nighttime views of the area lit up. Time your ride well in Orlando and you may see distant fireworks from the various parks. Look for discounts.
If you like thrills, consider an indoor wind tunnel
"sky diving" experience or an airboat ride through swamps in the Orlando area to see wildlife. Several companies offer airboat tours in the area.
If you're looking for a splurge, there are early morning hot air balloon rides in the Orlando area too.
Even if you don't want to enter any theme parks, their shopping districts can be fun to visit, sometimes having outdoor live entertainment in the evenings.
At Disney Springs, parking and riding the water taxis are free.
Cirque Du Soleil show is pricey but many people really like it.
At Universal CityWalk, parking is free after 6 pm as long as there is not a special event that evening, such as Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios.
Blue Man Group also offers a unique, if pricey show.
You may enjoy visiting the pretty downtown area of Celebration, with its many restaurants and shops. It has an upscale, relaxed, adult feel. Less flashy than the theme park shopping districts.
