Going on an adventure-filled vacation is always fun, but we also crave those getaways where we can just lounge around on the beach and indulge in pretty much everything. Of course, if we can throw in a few low-key activities to our getaway to make it a wellness trip for the mind and the body (and, you know, try to avoid putting on five pounds from enjoying the local fare, all the better). But there's one place that you'd never guess could be a wellness destination: Orlando. While the draw to this central Florida city is usually the amusement parks, including Disney and Universal Studios, it can also be quite the laid-back locale for some R&R. Whether you head down to the Sunshine State for just some relaxation or are taking in the city in all its glory, here are some must-do things in between visiting Mickey and Diagon Alley.

The recently upgraded Disney Springs is the perfect area to take a pre- or post-dinner stroll (if you feel as though you can move after stuffing yourself at Paddlefish — I certainly had a difficult time). The outdoor shopping area is filled with stores, restaurants and bars — including one inspired by Indiana Jones. The whole area feels very L.A., but with the underlying feeling of magic that you get throughout the entire Disney property (since almost all the signs have mouse ears on them).
