  2. 2Russell's on Lake Ivanhoe(2 hrs)→

Why this plan works

The 3 stops cover about 3.6 miles total, which keeps you in one pocket of Orlando instead of crossing town between them. Russell's on Lake Ivanhoe is the main event and takes the biggest block of time; the other stops are built around it. It finishes at A Spiral Circle Bookstore & More — a short, low-effort stop you can skip if you're ready to call it. Best suited to couples and solo who want a planned Orlando outing without improvising between stops.
