After the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, escape to sunny Orlando, Florida to enjoy the attractions at Disney and other major theme parks without having to endure the long lines and stifling heat of the summer months.
Visiting Orlando in the off-season can save you time and money. Whether it's a white-knuckled thrill ride, an exciting round of golf, a mega shopping junket, or a movie theatre performance, Orlando and the surrounding Central Florida region is a perennial favorite destination among vacationers. So, when the winter chill sets in, come bask in the Florida sunshine.
Please be aware that due to the length of the bus ride while traveling straight through to Orlando, we ask that you not bring children under the age of five.

Day 3 - 5
You have 3 full days in Orlando to enjoy at your leisure.
Transportation will be provided by Perkiomen Tours to the Disney Transportation Center each day as follows:
1 morning shuttle and 2 evening shuttles will be arranged to and from the Disney Transportation and Ticket Center to enable you to travel to Disney's four major theme parks including Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Animal Kingdom, Universal Studios, or Downtown Disney with a choice of public transportation options.
The Magic Kingdom features timeless attractions, such as the Hall of Presidents. EPCOT, which consists of Future World and the World Showcase, not only features educational and fun rides, but world-class restaurants right within the park. Experience the magic of movies at Hollywood Studios. Be sure to visit Disney's Animal Kingdom, one of the largest animal theme parks in the world.
Universal Studios Theme Park and Islands of Adventure, located in Orlando, can be explored in a single day during the off-season when there are shorter lines. Try your hand at wizardry at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter with Harry Potter themed attractions at both parks. The parks offer ticket specials that allow visitors to enter both parks in a single day, so be sure to inquire at the Rosen Inn Guest Services Desk about such a package.
At Sea World you can see whales, dolphins, belugas, manatees, and penguins. Ride the rides, catch a show, and learn about the animal rescue efforts.
Theme parks not your thing? There is still fun to be had in Orlando. Shop, browse, and dine at Disney Springs. There is a movie theater, specialty shops, and many dining experiences like the House of Blues, Wolfgang Puck, Planet Hollywood, T-Rex, and Rainforest Café. Universal's CityWalk offers a variety of shops and boutiques where you can pick up a souvenir for yourself or the folks back home. Themed restaurant options allow you to listen to music and dine on specialty items at NASCAR Sports Grill, NBA City, Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville, Emeril's, and Bubba Gump's. With all of the restaurant options you will never run out of places to eat. During the day, play miniature golf at one of Orlando's amusing courses or hit the links at one of the many outstanding public courses in the area…sand traps are not as bad when they are shaped like Mickey Mouse!
Day 6
Today is your last day in Orlando, so take in the sights you missed or revisit the ones that you loved. We will depart for home this evening at 7:00 pm, and drive through the night. We will have rest stops, as well as breakfast and lunch stops on Saturday.
Please note: Hotel check-out is 11:00am; your luggage will be stored for you.

Tips for Perkiomen motorcoach drivers and tour escorts are not included in the price of this tour. We feel that these gratuities should be extended on an individual basis and dictated by the level of service provided.
Motorcoach seating is assigned at the time of reservation but cannot be guaranteed. Although we do our best to keep each traveler in the seat assigned at the time of reservation, there are times that it is necessary to move seat locations. Please be sure to verify your final seat number(s) with your driver at the time of boarding. Historically, daily seat rotation was practiced on most multi-day tours. We have suspended this practice for a period of time. Seat rotation will be explained by your driver or tour escort if reinstated.
To fully participate in this tour may require extended amounts of walking. There may be steps, inclines, uneven surfaces or extended periods of standing. Participants with physical limitation should take this into consideration.
