Default Things To Do In Orlando

We are looking for things to do in Orlando. Mainly looking for off the beaten path, historical and local points of interest.

We've done some searches but haven't found the right one for what we are looking for.

Thanks in advance for all information.

What is Total Wine? We have done the boat tour at Winter Garden and loved it. We also visited the Tiffany museum in Winter Garden which is wonderful.

The Gaylord Hotel is a great place to visit. They have a stone path throughout this beautiful hotel with waterfalls and wildlife. We did that then went to lunch at Bahama Breeze which isn't too far.
