There’s More-ida to Florida
If you’ve never been to Florida you may think that there’s little to the state than Disney, oranges and the elderly, but the state offers an incredibly diverse palette of experience to offer holiday makers. If your family loves to explore, the state offers some of the finest road tripping in America. Highway 19 just north of Orlando offers some spectacular terrain, including the Ocala National Forest which offers extensive hiking among verdant forestry and crystal clear lakes. If you really want to go all-out a coast-to-coast road trip from Pensacola all the way through to Key West will give you a snapshot of the state’s many and varied marvels.
If you prefer to get around by boat, the state is (quite literally) the boating capital of the world. What more memorable Christmas experience can you offer your family than checking out some of the yacht rental Miami has to offer. Miami beach should be seen to be believed although Key West is no less beautiful in the winter and still offers some of the most spectacular sunsets in the continental US.
Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party
One of the best things about Christmas away from home is the knowledge that the food and festivities are taken care of and all you have to focus on is enjoying your day. Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party may not be the cheapest way to celebrate Christmas (tickets start at $89 per head), but there are few experiences on Earth that can offer such a wonderful variety of live shows and diversely delicious foods.
Mickey Christmas and a Disney New Year
Though the costs may come at a premium and it’s likely to get pretty busy it’s worth staying through Christmas and New Year if your budget will accommodate it. There’s a breathtakingly spectacular fireworks display at New Years’ Eve that will see your vacation out (quite literally) with a bang and leave you counting the days until you can go again.
