Day 1: Universal Orlando Resort™ Adventure 

Start your getaway with an action-packed day at Universal Orlando Resort™, home to four incredible theme parks: Universal Studios Florida™, Universal’s Islands of Adventure™, Universal’s Volcano Bay™, and the all-new Universal Epic Universe™. As a Universal Partner Hotel, Wyndham I-Drive Avanti Resort offers our hotel guests theme park shuttle service for easy access to all the excitement. 

Dive into the magic of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter™ and the excitement of Marvel Super Hero Island™, feel your adrenaline rush on the Jurassic World VelociCoaster™, and discover brand-new adventures awaiting you at Universal Epic Universe™, including Celestial Park and Super Nintendo World™. 

After a day of adventure, return to the resort to cool off in the pool or unwind in the whirlpool spa. Enjoy a cocktail or casual meal at the Poolside Bar & Grill. For those arriving back late after fireworks, the Avanti Sports Bar & Games in the Lobby  is the perfect spot to grab a snack and a nightcap. 

Day 2: Discover the I-Drive Entertainment District 

Begin your day at ICON Park, a vibrant and walkable entertainment complex filled with exciting attractions, unique shops, and local restaurants. Take a ride on The Orlando Eye, a 400-foot observation wheel that offers panoramic views of the city skyline and nearby theme parks. Inside the complex, explore immersive attractions like Madame Tussauds, where you can snap selfies with lifelike wax figures of your favorite celebrities, and SEA LIFE Aquarium, home to a dazzling 360-degree ocean tunnel and up-close encounters with sharks, stingrays, and rescued sea turtles.  For those who crave a thrill, the Orlando StarFlyer, the world’s tallest swing ride, sends you soaring above the city for a high-flying adventure. 

From there, dive into more of International Drive’s family-friendly fun. Just across the street from the resort, Gator Golf offers a unique round of mini golf complete with live gators. Get hands-on at WonderWorks or uncover the bizarre at Ripley’s Believe It or Not. 

As evening approaches, head to Pointe Orlando for a lively mix of boutique shops, dining, and entertainment. Whether you’re enjoying dinner, catching a live show, or simply soaking in the atmosphere, it’s the perfect way to end the day. 

Getting around is easy with the I-Ride Trolley, which stops right outside the resort and runs daily from 8 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. For just six dollars a day, you can hop between attractions, shopping, and dining throughout the I-Drive corridor. 

Back at the resort, unwind with a dip in the pool or whirlpool spa. Then grab a cocktail and casual bites from the Poolside Bar & Grill, open daily until 11:00 p.m., to round out a day full of adventure.

Day 3: Relax and Recharge with Nearby Shopping 

Start your final day with a peaceful morning at the resort. Take a refreshing swim or lounge by the pool surrounded by tropical landscaping. Stop by the Café & Marketplace for a light breakfast and grab snacks to go.
