Discovery Cove
is a theme park where guests can interact with a variety of marine animals, most notably bottlenose dolphins. The park is located adjacent to sister parks SeaWorld Orlando and Aquatica.

In addition to swimming with dolphins, Discovery Cove guests can interact with exotic birds, tropical fish, rays, and land mammals. Number of guests is limited so it is best to check before visiting.

Medieval Times Dinner and Tournament
As the name suggests, the dinner show is designed around the Medieval period. The venue is housed in a reproduction 11th-century castle. The dinner is served in pewter goblets and dishes, and guests are required to eat with their hands. The performance is centered around a medieval tournament, featuring falconry, sword-fighting, and jousting. Great fun for all the family!

The menu consists of tomato bisque, garlic bread and a cup of tea, roasted chicken, spare rib, herb-roasted baked potato, pastry, coffee, and Pepsi, in addition to a cash bar. Guests eat with their hands. There is also a vegetarian menu that includes rice, hummus, pita chips, a Portobello mushroom cap, and skewered vegetables.

Typhoon Lagoon
is a water park located at the Walt Disney World Resort, Orlando. The park, which opened on June 1, 1989, is home to the world's largest outdoor wave pool. The theme of the park is the "Disney legend" of a typhoon that wreaked havoc upon a formerly pristine tropical paradise. Ships, fishing gear, and surfboards are strewn about where the storm flung them. The centerpiece of the park is "Miss Tilly," a shrimp boat impaled upon a mountain named "Mount Mayday" that erupts a 50-foot geyser of water every half hour, right before the bells of the watch sound on Miss Tilly. The parks' mascot is named "Lagoona Gator" who is related to Blizzard Beach's mascot Ice Gator.

There are many attractions in Typhoon Lagoon, suitable for all the family. Including Wave Pool, Kiddies Water play area, Lazy River, Snorkelling, water slides and flumes and much more.

Daytona Beach
is a year-round family-friendly resort area, but could also accurately be called a seasonal town, with large groups of out-of-towners descending upon the city for various events, most notably Speedweeks in early February when over 200,000 NASCAR fans come to attend the season-opening Daytona 500. Other events include the NASCAR Coke Zero 400 race in July, Bike Week in early March, Biketoberfest in mid October, and the Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona endurance race in January.

Also famous for allowing cars to drive on the beach, well on certain sections anyway. Daytona is just over an hour from our villa.
