Your best none Disney ideas please

[*Dory*]

So the hubby and I have booked a quick, cheap week back in Orlando next month having just returned in May from 3 weeks of parks!😃 It’s just the 2 of us and we’re staying in a hotel on the 192 rather than a villa for the 1st time ever but I could do with a couple of suggestions for places to visit. Nothing to energetic because this is meant to be a chilled week and nothing to pricey because we are on a budget this time.
I’m thinking of downtown kissamee for the bike night, Mount Dora, winter park and possibly the coast near Melbourne or St Petes. We’ve previously done Clearwater, st Augustine, airboats, the oulets(but obviously that’s a must again). We don't mind a couple of hours drive away either.
Any suggestions would be gratefully received. 😃

Kayak at weeki wachee
Weeki wachee state park
Circle B reserve
Fort de Soto beach park (our fav)
Escape room
Free Disney loop of resorts
Celebration & bikes
Old town

Magic dining is def worth looking up if going next month

That's a few things to get u going ha ha and I'm sure there'll be more fab ideas to follow off others.

I like shopping at Winter Garden Village (that’s not Winter Park). It’s not an outlet but I like the variety of stores and cafes.

If you like shopping it’s worth checking their website to see if it’s your sort of place.

Probably 20-30 mins drive.

A wonderful piece of real americana & drive-in movie history & only $6 per person !
We try and go every year.
70 years old and I bet it hasn't changed much since it opened...
& like a previous poster, any of the springs to relax and float away your worries.

Thank you all, loads there that we’ve never done in the 15 years of visits! My problem now is a week might not be long enough 😂

We have just bought tickets for Suhls Rodeo. It is on Groupon 50% off. The deal is on until the end of October.
We have also been to Kissimmee swamp tours a couple of times.
Celebration is on our list of places to visit this week.
I am doing a daily trip report if you wanted to take a look.
