Orlando is a favorite stop on any Florida family vacation itinerary, especially for families seeking warm weather. It’s also perfect for those seeking big adventures, iconic attractions, and the best family-friendly theme parks in Florida. 

With so many choices, no Orlando itinerary list is complete without a visit to LEGOLAND Florida Resort, the ultimate destination for families to relax and play with little adventurers.

Planning Your Florida Family Vacation Itinerary

At LEGOLAND Florida Resort, we know that planning your Florida family vacation itinerary is the key to maximising bricktastic fun and minimising stress. With so many family-friendly theme parks in Florida, a carefully thought-out Orlando itinerary helps you enjoy the best attractions while still leaving room to kick back and relax. 

As international travel is lengthy, we find that 7–10 days is ideal, leaving enough time to experience the city, including a visit to LEGOLAND Florida Resort. A successful Florida vacation itinerary blends theme park adventures, relaxation by the pool, and exploration.

Why LEGOLAND Florida Resort is a Must-Visit

For families planning their Orlando itinerary, LEGOLAND Florida Resort is a must-visit destination for those with kids, combining fun, creativity and hands-on learning.

As one of the most family-friendly theme parks in Florida, we have plenty of gentle rides, interactive play zones, and themed attractions. Take the tots down to DUPLO Valley Schoolhouse for an interactive world of sensory magic or unleash their creativity at Imagination Zone, featuring a fun LEGO build environment. For gentler rides and attractions, race down to Junior Driving School and let them learn the rules of LEGO City’s roads, or they can float around on The Grand Carousel
