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. 

6. Unique Spots and Nightlife

Sip artfully crafted drinks in an ice bar built entirely of ice or wander fun entertainment districts perfect for date nights or family dinners. 

7. Local Food and Shopping

Visit the Winter Park area for boutique shopping, or explore Orlando's malls and factory outlets to find great pieces from your favorite brands.

And for those who can't wait to get their Disney on, the ACOFP '26 hotel, Signia by Hilton Orlando Bonnet Creek Resort, also offers easy access to the parks. 

Orlando is more than meets the eye--it's a destination where learning and family time meet unforgettable experiences. We look forward to seeing you there for ACOFP '26! Learn more about the program and register now
