As we had purchased a 3 or more day card we also got a free dinner show included. (Make sure that you book the show for one of the days that you intend to use the card). There is usually a choice of 2 or 3 different shows.

We booked to see The Arabian Nights Dinner Show and what a great night we had, the food was great, the drinks unlimited, (beer, wine or soft drinks), and the show was fantastic.

Once you use the card for the first time the countdown starts and the card expires 14 days from the first activation, you can use each of the remaining days at any time within the 14 day window. During a days use you can visit as many of the attractions listed in the guide book as you like. For a full list of the places you can visit have a look at the Go Orlando Card website. Many of the big names are there - Kennedy Space Centre, Gatorland, Fun Spot Action Park, Cypress Gardens……..the list just goes on and on. The card is also valid for a huge amount of special offers and discounts at many shops and attractions for all 14 days after the first activation of the card, again full details are on the website and in the free guide book issued with the card.

You can pack a lot into one day if you plan it carefully, this is what we did with the card:-

Day 1:-

• Cypress Gardens Adventure Park
• TIP - If you take your entrance ticket to guest services you will get a second days free admission for any time in the next 7 days so you actually get 2 days for the price of one!
• Splash Island Water park at Cypress Gardens
• Congo River Adventure Golf

Day 2:-

• Forever Florida Eco-Safaris
• Gatorland
• The Haunted Grimm House
• Congo River Adventure Golf
• Arabian Nights

Day 3:-

• Fun Spot Action Park
• Ripley’s Believe It or Not!
• Titanic - The Experience
• WonderWorks
• Congo River Adventure Golf

As you can see from the above we packed a lot into each of our Go Card days! If you check the guide book and plan carefully you can do a great deal in one day and get fantastic value for money. We were very impressed with the card and will be purchasing one again on our next visit as there are still many more attractions for us to visit.

If you are still a bit unsure, why not try a 1 day card and use it on the International Drive area attractions, as per our day 3 above. It is easy to hop from one attraction to the next and cram lots into one day with very little travelling between venues. Check the opening times and the times you can use the card and leave the late opening attractions until last.

Once you have tried a 1 day card I am sure the next time you go to Florida you will be getting an Orlando Go Card with at least 3 days on!

Freeze bottles of water to take to the parks they will keep cold all day.

If you intend to go on water rides a change off clothes is advisable, if it is a little cloudy you soon feel cold (you don’t need to carry these around with you - use a locker at the entrance to the park)

Clearwater beach is one of the best beaches to visit the sand being like fine flour. Also it is well worth staying until the sun goes down with the street entertainers and a fantastic sunset at the end of the pier. Also take a trip on the pirate ship or enjoy a cruise with a buffet meal on one of the other boats all at a very reasonable price. If you are looking for that extra special evening dress Clearwater has 2 very reasonable boutiques with a good selection.

If you want surfing then cocoa beach on the east coast of Florida is the place to be and of course not far from the Kennedy Space Centre. Here you can buy all your surfing and skating needs from the many shops around and maybe stay over at a motel that is designed in the shape of a castle and painted pink!

Daytona beach has 23 miles of sugary white sand here you can go parasailing, fishing or surfing. On site vendors sell everything from hamburgers, ice cream beach umbrellas and boogie board rentals. Daytona has a lot going on with all kinds of shops and restaurants and is well worth a visit.
