Orlando but not the parks

Hello everyone..

So just wondered if anyone had any recommendations please for Orlando without the parks?

Thinking Miami, Clearwater beach.. Perhaps Daytona & Cocoa beach..

Anyone have any other suggestions please?

We will of course be stopping by for a day at Disney world.. Was hoping to do a one day park hopper ticket..

You could try Key West and Key Largo south Florida or Walton Beach north Florida both are great drives.

From memory we spent 2 days in Orlando to get over the flight etc. Then 2 days at Clearwater then simply made our way down the coast Naples Sarasota then a few nights at the keys we tried to stay 2 nights at each place to allow us a day without having to pack each time.

Only place we didn't do that was at the keys we stayed at Duck or Conch key I think and it wasn't that good mostly for people who are studying marine biology (which we weren't ) wish we'd went for 1 more night in Key West.

Then Miami and did a taxi tour round it and departed from there.
