Fun In The Sun: Orlando 2024

Fun In The Sun: Orlando 2024 is the 14th episode of the HAVE COFFEE WILL TRAVEL Podcast.

Our 2024 Orlando and Grand Rapids vacation. Every day is an adventure. Join us as we break down each day’s events into small, bite-size chunks.What did we do? Where did we go? Who did we see?

Day 1: Crazy weather travel day. Our 4 hour drive took us 6 hours. Our Allegiant flight was delayed. We made it to Orlando, had dinner and went for a walk around our resort neighbourhood.

Day 2. Sunday shopping. Picked up groceries for the week at Walmart. Went for breakfast at IHOP. The coffee was gross. The food was just OK. Thrifting in Kissimmee is lackluster. The flea markets are sad and all the same. We finished the day with a bath, drinking wine and reading.

Day 3. Monday adventures. Orlando’s Vineland outlets. Batmobile Crocs. Disney Springs desserts and the Earl of Sandwich. Jollywood Nights was awesome. We got on Rise of the Resistance without any waiting. And we finally got to ride Slinky Dog. The fireworks were great the the good was fantastic.

Day 4. We went to the Lakeland Antique Mall. Lots of fun stuff to see. The time flew by. The layout and upkeep was awful. Too expensive for most things. The dessert we bought in Disney Springs yesterday from Amorette’s Patisserie was delicious.

Day 5. Wednesday was a shopping day. Davey’s Toys was a highlight. The Mercantile was a surprise find that we enjoyed. Acme Toy Warehouse was huge and had lots of vintage, but overpriced stuff. The Lindor store had the best Lindt chocolate. We got some bears at Goodwill and a few things from the Disney Character Warehouse.

Day 6. Orlando Beer Spa. Thursday was mainly about relaxation.

Day 7. Bishop’s birthday. A paddle boat ride. Visiting with Jarman and Jolie and having a few games, drinks and laughs.

Final Entry. Wrapping up the weekend. Saturday was travel from Orlando to Grand Rapids. We checked out some antiques. Sunday was more antiques, the Lush store and TSO. The Trans Siberian Orchestra put on an amazing show. Staying at Spark by Hilton was something else. Not the worst hotel, but definitely could have been better. Fun In The Sun: Orlando 2024 is complete.
