Planning a fall getaway to Orlando? Whether you’re bringing little ones, teens, or even grandparents along, Orlando is overflowing with things to do, and Lake Buena Vista Resort Village & Spa puts you right in the center of it all. Our spacious multi-bedroom suites, resort-style pool, and onsite spa make us the perfect home base while you explore. To make your trip even easier, we’ve put together the ultimate family itinerary that mixes world-famous attractions with time to unwind.



Day 1: Check In & Kick Back

Start your trip by settling into your spacious suite with full kitchens, private bedrooms, and plenty of room for everyone to spread out. After a day of travel, nothing beats jumping into the Pirate’s Plunge Pool or grabbing a bite to eat at our onsite restaurants. Parents, you might even want to sneak in a spa treatment at Reflections Spa & Salon before the adventures begin. 
 



Day 2: A Disney Day

No trip to Orlando is complete without a visit to Walt Disney World® Resort. Spend the day at Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Hollywood Studios, or Animal Kingdom, whichever fits your family’s style.

If you’re visiting in September or October, don’t miss Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party at Magic Kingdom! This special event features spooky-but-family-friendly fun, trick-or-treating, themed shows, and enchanting parades. Be sure to catch:

  • Disney Festival of Fantasy Parade – 12:00 PM & 3:00 PM

  • Disney Starlight Parade – 9:00 PM & 11:00 PM

  • "Happily Ever After" Fireworks – 10:00 PM

These events are perfect for unforgettable family photos and magical memories. With our location just minutes away, you can be in the parks bright and early and easily return to your suite when it’s time to recharge. *Pro tip: enjoy breakfast in your suite kitchen to save time (and money!) before heading out.
 



Day 3: Shop, Dine & Explore Disney Springs

After a busy park day, slow the pace with a little retail therapy. Start right next door at the Lake Buena Vista Factory Stores, located adjacent to our resort. It’s one of Orlando’s best-kept secrets for outlet shopping, with big-name brands at outlet prices—plus the convenience of walking back to your suite with all your finds.

In the evening, head over to Disney Springs®, just a short drive away. It’s packed with family dining favorites, live entertainment, and one-of-a-kind shops. Try a treat from Gideon’s Bakehouse, ride in the Aerophile hot air balloon for epic views, and cap the night with dinner at a themed restaurant. The best part? You’ll be back in your comfy suite in minutes.
 



Day 4: Icon Park & International Drive Adventures

For a mix of thrills, dining, and entertainment, head to ICON Park™ on International Drive. Take a ride on The Orlando Eye, snap selfies at Madame Tussauds, and let the kids explore attractions like SEA LIFE Aquarium.

While you’re in the area, make time for Pointe Orlando, another hotspot along International Drive. This open-air complex offers shopping, exciting dining options, live comedy shows, and even a movie theater—perfect for families who want a little bit of everything in one stop.

Day 5: Go Big or Have Another Resort Day

For your final day in Orlando, go big! Depending on your family’s style, you can dive into marine life fun at SeaWorld Orlando or step into movie magic at Universal Orlando Resort™.

At SeaWorld, thrill seekers can take on coasters like Mako or Journey to Atlantis, while little ones enjoy Sesame Street Land™ and up-close animal encounters. Families looking for an epic finale might head to Universal Orlando, where The Wizarding World of Harry Potter™, Minion Land, and blockbuster rides make every moment unforgettable.

No matter which adventure you choose, you’ll love returning to Lake Buena Vista Resort Village & Spa at the end of the day. Families love having the option to cook in their suite’s full kitchen or order pizza at our Pizza Hut Express. Take a late-night dip in one of our pools or hot tub before saying goodbye to an amazing Orlando getaway.
