It is Florida in full — theme-park spectacle, more than four centuries of history, the roar of Daytona, the story of spaceflight and the slow, luminous drive through the Keys — joined into one group road trip timed to the February calendar. Each stage is short enough to enjoy, and every night is spent where the day ends.

Introduction
Eleven days across the Sunshine State, from the theme parks of Orlando to the last island of the Florida Keys. The journey opens with a day at Walt Disney World and a day at Universal Orlando, then takes to the open road: the Spanish colonial streets of St. Augustine, a Saturday of NASCAR racing during Daytona Speedweeks and the spaceflight story of Kennedy Space Center. In Miami Beach the pace slows, before the Overseas Highway carries the group across turquoise channels and island bridges to Key West. The finale returns to South Beach for the South Beach Wine & Food Festival.

Good To Know
This is the planned route for the group: dates (16–26 February 2027), daily sequence and overnight hotels. Prices, inclusions, admission tickets and service confirmations are not part of this itinerary and will be set out separately in the commercial proposal.
No admission or ticket is included or implied by this itinerary. The Disney and Universal days are planned as one theme park per traveller; admission for NASCAR, Kennedy Space Center and the South Beach Wine & Food Festival will be confirmed in the commercial proposal.
From 19 to 24 February the group travels in self-drive rental cars (approximately ten vehicles), collected in Orlando and returned in Miami; exact rental locations are to be confirmed. Organised transfers cover the airport arrival and departure and the Disney and Universal days.
Each day shows its road distance in miles, measured on the road network. Driving times are indicative and exclude stops: the longest day is Kennedy Space Center to Miami Beach (about 225 mi), and the Keys days are about 165 mi each way.
Not yet. Flight times, the Daytona race start time and festival event times are announced closer to the date and will be added once confirmed.
South Beach Wine & Food Festival events are generally for guests aged 21 and over, which is why the festival day is optional, with each event ticketed separately.
