Don’t have vacation days or don’t want to spend them? That’s no reason you can’t still visit Orlando for the weekend.
Indeed, Orlando has nonstop flights from cities across the United States and around the world, making a quick trip to Orlando simple. If you don’t live in a city which has an airport with direct flights to Orlando, though, this itinerary might not be possible. Instead, see our Long Weekend Itinerary In Orlando and One-Week Itinerary In Orlando.
Following is a suggested itinerary for spending just the weekend in Orlando, assuming you work until 5 p.m. on a Friday. This also assumes that since you’ll only be in Orlando for one night, you’ll only take a carry-on. Let’s go!
