Tripadvisor’s global travel series on Amazon Prime Video, The Wanderer, visits Orlando in a brand-new episode exploring hidden gems and experiences found beyond the parks (Get Up and Go Kayaking at Rock Springs Run State Reserve pictured).
We love our theme parks in Orlando — and the diversity of local experiences that can help create unforgettable getaways without visiting our signature attractions. Turns out we’re not the only ones. Amazon Prime Video just released the fifth episode of The Wanderer, “Orlando: The Joy of the Unexpected,” presented by Tripadvisor.

Inside ‘Orlando: The Joy of the Unexpected’ on The Wanderer
In The Wanderer, Tripadvisor challenges travelers to curate guides inspired by locals and reviews. With little to no knowledge of what to expect, the show’s wanderers immerse themselves in transformative journeys of exploration, self-discovery and reflection, showcasing the beauty of travel as one of the most primal means of discovery.
For the fifth episode, producers teamed up with Brooklyn-based travelers Regine and Blaise, who start their visit by checking into The Ritz-Carlton Orlando, Grande Lakes, close to Walt Disney World® Resort. Surprised by the destination’s vibrant spirit, the duo uncovers hidden treasures, thrilling adventures and sumptuous flavors.
