Fun Spot USA

If you’re all about rides, rides and more rides, Fun Spot USA is definitely one of the Orlando attractions near Disney that you have to see. It has the tallest sky coaster and the “extreme-est multi-level tracks” in the world. Extreme rides aren’t all that the site has to offer. It also has several rides for kids, a refreshment stand and a diverse arcade.

Gatorland

This attraction is not for the herpetophobic. Gatorland houses alligators and crocodiles that you can ride (not real ones, of course) and be in awe of (real ones). Go during show times and see its scaly actors scarily interact with human ones. There is also a petting zoo, pool and aviary among its highlighted spots. Make sure to visit the rare white alligators with blue eyes at White Gator Swamp.

The first two Orlando attractions near Disney World are definitely popular and, most likely, crowded places to visit. Make sure to get reservations with them when you book your Disney timeshare. If you still have time, explore Florida on your own. You never know what treasures you could find when you’re not really looking.
