Orlando Accomplice

Join us as we break down the plans for the SECOND two weeks of our four-week Orlando MEGA TRIP.Posting from Orlando, we’re officially halfway through the trip - but there’s still a ridiculous amount left to come.In this episode, we’re going through the second half of our itinerary day-by-day, including more Epic Universe, Halloween Horror Nights, Disney park days, an EPCOT tequila experience, an Epic Universe After Hours event, our first Orlando Magic game, Old Town, a Monorail bar crawl, plenty of new food spots and a few questionable decisions along the way.We’ve also deliberately left a few days open towards the end of the trip, so depending on how we’re feeling, there could be more Universal, a beach day, shopping, food, drinks or something completely unplanned.We’re trying Buffalo Boss, heading back to some Orlando favourites, meeting up with friends, squeezing in some actual chill time and somehow trying to survive another two weeks of theme parks, late nights and margaritas.And then, eventually, we have to go home.If you have any Orlando food, drink or activity recommendations - especially for our free days - drop them in the comments. We’re always looking for somewhere new to try.Follow along with the trip in real time:Instagram & TikTok: @orlandoaccomplice—🔗 Follow Orlando Accomplice📸 Instagram: @orlandoaccomplice🎵 TikTok: @orlandoaccomplice▶️ YouTube: @orlandoaccomplice🎧 Podcast: search “Orlando Accomplice” on your favourite app🕸️ Website: www.orlandoaccomplice.com—⏱️ Who is Orlando Accomplice?  We’re Jake & Becky - your Orlando accomplice!
