  • Morning

    There are countless breakfast buffets in the area, all offering mounds of food, from fresh fruit to omelets. Find the one closest to you and start the day there. As mornings tend to be cooler and a bit less insect-ridden than afternoons, follow your meal with a self-guided tour of swamp life at Airboat Rentals You Drive . Head as far away as possible from the the road, cut the engine, and enjoy the silence. Most of Florida used to be like this. For lunch, head to Kissimmee’s historic Downtown and pop in to Azteca’s (809 N. Main St), a tiny and original TexMex restaurant. Be careful ordering anything “very hot”; the cook takes this as a personal challenge and will likely spice the dish so your head explodes.

    Afternoon

    From Downtown, it’s a short drive north to Gator-land. The massive gators prowling the front lakes are the big attraction. But smart guests will take the Swamp Walk, check out the crocodile pens, and survey the alligator breeding marsh from the observation tower. There are four live animal shows but if time is tight, Gator Jump-A-Roo and Gator Wrestling are the essentials.

    Evening

    For dinner, the slightly camp Pacino’s Italian Ristorante is popular for its home-style Italian favorites and delicious pizza. Afterwards, take another short drive to Old Town where kids can play on the rides while adults watch from a bench enjoying an ice cream.
