In addition to the many hours of high-quality, targeted CME you can earn by attending ACOFP '26, and the invaluable networking opportunities, Orlando is an ideal destination for a spring getaway. But it's not just for Disney afficionados. Orlando is so much more than Mickey ears, offering a rich mix of nature, culture, science, and relaxation.
Take time out of your busy work life to experience a vacation that nourishes body, mind, and connection.
1. Explore Nature and Outdoor Adventures
Glide through Florida’s headwaters on an airboat for a close-up view of native wildlife, or paddle calm waterways on a kayak or paddleboard to unwind amidst birds, turtles, and lush greenery.
An ACOFP staff member just let us know that Orlando will also soon be home to Sloth World, the world's first slotharium, opening in February!
2. Bask in Downtown Charm at Lake Eola Park
Take an easy stroll around Lake Eola, watch swans drift by, enjoy local food markets, or relax with a picnic—a perfect low-stress outing on a free morning.
3. Immerse Yourself in Arts and Culture
Orlando’s arts scene is vibrant. From galleries and public art walks to unique festivals like the Orlando International Fringe Theatre Festival, you’ll find experiences that refresh the soul. Or take an art tour to explore destinations like Sculptures on the Lawn and CityArts.
4. Learn Together at the Orlando Science Center
With hands-on exhibits spanning life sciences, physics, and engineering, this interactive museum offers something for curious minds both young and old.
5. Discover Relaxing Water Experiences
See the more relaxing side of Orland's legendary theme parks. Float serene lazy rivers and encounter marine life at water adventure parks like Discovery Cove.
