When talking about Disney World, the images that mostly come to mind are, Cinderella’s Castle, Mickey Mouse, Epcot Globe, and Princesses; however there are the 7 Little Known Disney World Adventures, that I am talking about that most people don’t think of.
Orlando Ticket Connection is where you can get all your Discount Orlando Tickets, however here is a glimpse of some of the other Disney World activities that don’t involve FastPasses, standing in long lines or looking for show times especially in the heat of summertime!
7 Little Known Disney World Adventures
Richard Petty’s Exotic Driving Experience
Are you looking for the ultimate thrill ride during your next trip to Walt Disney World®? Get behind the wheel of one of the world’s most expensive cars in this new, adrenaline-charged experience at the Walt Disney World Speedway. Complete your next Orlando vacation by driving or riding in a 600HP NASCAR race car. There is no better memory of Orlando than roaring around the track at speeds of up to 120 MPH while your friends and family cheer you on from pit road. Guests can ride-along or drive themselves in one of 5 high-performance machines: a Porsche 977S, an Audi R8, a Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4, a Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 Superleggera or a Ferrari 458 Italia — a supercar valued at more than $280,000. A racing experience with Richard Petty Driving Experience at Walt Disney World® Speedway is where grown-up dreams come true.
Wilderness Back Trail Adventure Segway Tour
Dare yourself to experience the “Wilderness Back Trail Adventure” at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground, where you will experience firsthand a Segway X2 Personal Transporter. If you’ve never ridden a Segway before, you’re in for an adventure! Maneuverable, fast, quiet and fun to ride, the X2 is an all-terrain vehicle that can be mastered in no time. And what better way to do it than with a stunning environment and an instructive, entertaining Cast Member keeping you informed by communicating through a headset. You will glide through smooth paths to woodland trails as you complete a 2-hour course that includes stops at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge, the stables of Tri-Circle-D Ranch, and Bay Lake, where you can stop and take pictures. Your instructor will share information, anecdotes and instructions along the way.
Guided Fishing Excursions
The calm, glass-like surface of Bay Lake explodes into churning, splashing froth as a largemouth bass skims across the water. Get your line wet, in one of Walt Disney World’s many lakes, canals and waterways and you may just land that huge Florida bass during a guided fishing excursion. Excursions leave from several resort marinas, including the Grand Floridian, Contemporary, Saratoga Springs, the Boardwalk Inn and Downtown Disney. You are able to experience guided fishing in every season! The fish don’t care if you are an amateur angler or an accomplished fisherman and all you need to bring is your passion for fun because all fishing equipment, bait and cold drinks are supplied.
Sammy Duvall’s – Parasailing
Get tethered into a multicolored, billowing parachute, let go and pretend you are Tinker Bell, soaring in the air over the most iconic resort in the world! Hook to a boat that is speeding back and forth across Bay Lake behind the Contemporary Resort, where you are let loose into the sunny sky high above Walt Disney World. The hum of the motorboat starts to fade away until it’s just you, the blue sky and an unrivaled view of the entire property.
After taking flight over the resort, you are granted incredible sightlines of all 4 theme parks, Downtown Disney and straight into downtown Orlando. You’ll know you’ve reached cruising altitude when the birds are circling below you. Choose from among a single flight or tandem flights.
Indulge in a Spa Treatment
There isn’t a better way to rejuvenate after a long day at the theme parks than by taking advantage of Walt Disney World’s first-class spa treatments. Full-service spas at Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa and the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin resort hotel provide much-needed pampering for tired guests.
The spa at Saratoga Springs Resort offers massage treatments, a beauty boutique and access to a health club in surroundings designed to whisk visitors to the scenic upstate New York racing community. Mandara Spa at the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin boasts Balinese serenity while providing massage, spa and hair and nail salon services.
Epcot® DiveQuest
Epcot DiveQuest plunges guests into the 5.7 million-gallon saltwater tank at the park’s The Seas with Nemo & Friends Pavilion. Take the plunge at Caribbean Coral Reef, the 5.7-million-gallon saltwater aquarium at Epcot, and dive with over 6,000 sea creatures. Crystal-clear waters, with absolutely no currents and a look at the adjoining Coral Reef Restaurant from the other side of the glass makes this adventure a memorable way to spend the day at Epcot. A tour, instruction and 40 minutes underwater are available for anyone ages 10 and up.
Hang Ten at Typhoon Lagoon
Hang ten at Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon water park. Guests can catch a wave in the park’s 2.75 million- gallon wave pool, guided by the pros from the Cocoa Beach Surf School before regular park hours. Three- to 6-foot waves come crashing in every 90 seconds, giving guests a chance to jump up on their board and carve some whitewater. The 2-hour session includes the expertise of 2 instructors, use of a soft-side surfboard, 30 minutes of dry-land instruction and 2 hours of surfing in the water.
