Oooooh! That is SO up our alley. Great recommendation, thank you!

As a Floridian whose state taxes are 0 because of tourism. Please enjoy all the tourist destinations there is nothing wrong with doing so. ^^

Now as for places to actually visit... I can only really give general ideas/ vague locations because I have not really spent much time exploring Florida as I should. Just been working working working. x.x

As for other places to visit? We have a number of State Parks and Nature Parks that are also nice to visit and walk through if you do not mind walking for an hour or so in nature. Or maybe going down a lazy river if you feel like sitting down in a fresh water river and sitting around doing nothing for an hour or so beyond enjoying the company of those with you and again, nature around you.

But some places that come to mind are the Everglades and the Keys. Sure it is a couple hour drive to get to either one. But that's just because the interstate is full of idiots. But I am sure that's the same thing as everywhere else in the world. There is also St. Augustine, the oldest city in the United States if you feel like going on a historical trip.

The park tickets were insanely priced, but the taxes on them was crazy low to us, which was something at least (we pay 15% here). Yay for 0 taxes!

A couple nature parks are definitely on the radar. Kelly Park is almost certainly going to be on our list. We were eyeing the Keys and St. Augustine, but we'll see how much driving we'll be game foronce we get there. So far we are hard pressed to drive more than 2 hours one way butwe might be willing to go further. ^^

Thanks, Walking!

Then avoid the I-4 Corridor at all costs or Interstate 4. That place is locked down with traffic every day. The only time it is not is early in the morning and late at night. But yeah, having an already agreed upon area of travel you are comfortable with is a good idea to have. Of course most any interstate going through Orlando is going to be bogged down. Though if your rental has the Florida Epass you might be able to get on a few of the fast lanes.

Speaking of which. Beware tolls! If you want to avoid toll roads. Update your map or what have you to avoid tolls! They only accept exact change for the few that still accept change. If you do not mind toll roads. Than getting an Epass is almost mandatory to get around. You can either get the sticker version which you attach to your car window or get the funny blocky device with suction cups to stick on your window.

I don't know if rental places give your cars Epass or not. But that is something you almost certainly need I feel unless you are already making sure your maps are avoiding all toll roads.

Ooh. Very good to know. Not sure our rental has an Epass, but we will for sure check or figure out our routes carefully. Super helpful tips, thank you! ^^
