Can you go to Orlando without going to the World?

[disneyboy98]

I am with JrKcr, we have never been to any other park outside of Walt Disney World.

The only thing that I could even think about getting me to go to that other place that starts with a "U" is to see that new Harry Potter land that they are creating. After that, I am back to WDW and not leaving!

In all honesty, I don't even know if there is a city or a rest of the state beyond those purple signs.

[GrmGrninGost]

NO WAY! If I head south, WDW has to be my destination!

[drummerboy]

Funny you should ask. we couldn't even pass through without stopping.

DW and I drove down to a christening for our friends' son in 1984 or so. The christening was near Sebring. We had to pass through Orlando on the way home and got there around 3 in the afternoon. Some huge magnet that WED diabolically planted near the entrance drew our car right on in. that was our first time in Epcot and we managed to do it all in that afternoon and evening. (Can't remember what time of year it was--I think early spring, but the crowds were very low.)

Luckily, we found a small motel further up the road that had a vacancy for that night, since we originally had planned to drive through to NC all in that day.

There are other places in Orlando besides Walt Disney World?

It would be very hard for me to be in Orlando and not spend some time at Disney World.

What's Orlando??

[GrumpyFan]

I couldn't justify the cost of a single day park ticket, but I would still go to WDW. Maybe to Downtown Disney, or have dinner at one of the resorts, but I would certainly go out of my way to go.

[Tinksalot]

I have gone without going to any of the parks, but usually have to go to Downtown Disney to feel alittle bit of the "magic".

are you kidding?

The only time I have ever been in the state of FL (trip to the Key's) and not gone to WDW, we actually flew over the area and the pilot pointed it out. I burst into tears being thousands of feet above it and not being able to stop. Considering that I don't think I could be in the state again and not carve out some time for .

[PAYROLL PRINCESS]

I can go to Orlando and NOT go to those other parks but I couldn't skip my WDW.

[beksy]

I don't think I could even go to Florida without going to WDW! Orlando would definitely be impossible. We do go and spend time at WDW and then go to other parts of FL but WDW is always included!

[marylynne95]

I could not go to Florida without going to WDW. My boyfriend wants to check out that other park and I am having a hard time with not being in Disney for that day, actually 2 days, because we would check out both parks. I'll manage, because we are staying on Disney property and renting a car for the first time this trip. He almost suggested going down for just that park! I said NO WAY!!

[PrettyMinnie]

I could. I like Oralndo itself not just because it is also home to the happiest place on Earth. Not saying I would NOT want to go, I would just be ok with not heading over to WDW.

[SBETigg]

My husband does it for business all the time. He won't go to WDW without me. I'm not sure I could be that noble. I usually try to insist that he goes, but he insists it's not the same without me.

[RAIDER]

Ive never done it as i love Epcot and MK to much .But yes i could do it for a bet or if i had to as there are other theme parks and shows keep me occupied and as i come in Dec i tend to travel to see a NFL game anyway

However if your including disney restaurants and shows in that question as well as DTD . Then the answer would be a firm NO
