When we went we took a day off in the middle of park hopping and took a drive to the nearest ocean beach, there is one about an hour away. We spent a day at the beach. We were there for 5 days and had a 4 day park hopper so we spent most of our time the Disney Parks. There is also Seaworld there you could also do that. We stayed at the Marriott Residence in right near Seaworld. It was nice, it was like we had our own little apartment, and they had a fantastic free breakfast everyday.

If you are going to go through the different countries at Epcot do it early before the sun hits its peak. It gets very hot there and there is very little shade. Do the countries in the morning, and the other side in the afternoon.

I would visit Universal Studios, Ripley's Believe it or Not, and Wonderworks (the upside down building) to name a few. I would definitely recommend Sea World, it is a very nice park there and the showd a great! There are a lot of dinner shows there, and the parks themeed rest. are great like the Castle, Crystal Palace, etc.

Are you staying in a Disney Resort? If you are you should definitely take advantage of the Extra Magic Hours they offer in the morning and the evenings! It is a great way to ride the bigger name rides without huge waits. Have fun and keep cool!

according to where your staying take 1 day at magic kingdom (mornings)1 at epcot, 1 at the waterpark, fronteer town and nite life section. try to get there at opening and get out by 1 oclock, this time of year it's hot and humid we have afternoon thunder boomers where they shut parts of the park down, go back to your motel or whatever and use the pool, go to international drive and look around shop, people watch, eat. try not to eat in disney, the food is most likely the best of all the parks anywhere but expensive. you have seaworld, universal studios you can spend 2 days at. try to get back to disney after 6-7pm to watch the daily fireworks their outstanding. within 2 hours or less you can hit kennedy space center.with is also very cool you can spend a day there. believe me you wont have any peoblems finding things to do within a half hour ride depending on traffic which is another good reason to get to the parks early. if by chance your staying at a disney resort you can get in the park an hour before it opens (very nice). bush gardens is in tampa, nice clean park, aquarium in tampa by the port. there's plenty to do. oh yeah check the local attractions and dinner book there's a place you can eat all the lobster you want for 30 bucks, plus all the xtras. ... enjoy the state, welcome !!!

I not only live in the Orlando Florida area, I am also a Travel Agent. Since you have the three day parkhopper pass. I would suggest that you do a full day in Magic Kingdom and you can leave in the afternoon and go back later in day. Then I would take another full day at Epcot and do the same thing. On your last day you can do Animal Kingdom in the morning and then do MGM Studios in the afternoon. I would also suggest that you take a day at Seaworld and Universal Studios. Another question would be are you staying in the Walt Disney World Resort? If you are check the website and see what parks have Extra Magic Hours for resort guests. Those are extra hours that the parks are not open to day guests only resort guests and usually are like 1 hour before parks open or 2 to 3 hours after parks close and take advantage of it. Also I would recommend the fast pass terminals in front of some of the rides. As far as dining. I would highly recommend the Cape May Cafe at the Disneys Beach Club Resort.
