Turning a regular Florida theme park trip into a full Super Mario adventure is easier (and more fun) than you think -- especially when you’re staying at Mario’s Mini Mansion in Clermont!
Here’s a suggested 6-day itinerary that families LOVE. Feel free to tweak it as you like :)
Day 1: Travel Day & Power-Up at Mario’s Mini Mansion
- Arrive and settle into this SUPER CUTE (and surprisingly affordable!) Mario-themed vacation home
- Explore Yoshi’s Fort (sooo many Super Mario-themed games!) with the kiddos
- Easy dinner + Mario movie/game night on the 75" TV! (Nintendo Switch included!)
- Pro Tip: Stop at Publix on the way for groceries and Mario-themed snacks (or just use Door Dash!)
Day 2: Epic Universe (The Classic Mario Day)
- Full day at Epic Universe
- Focus on Super Nintendo World rides
- Easy dinner on the screened patio back at the house
- Switch games on the giant TV!!!
Day 3: Rest & Local Adventure Day (Yoshi’s Day)
- Sleep in and recover
- Morning at Showcase of Citrus (monster trucks + gem mining)
- Afternoon at Lake Louisa State Park for swimming (or just head to the Vacation Village pool!)
- Come home and cook a Mario-themed dinner using the in-house Mario-themed cookbook
Day 4: Epcot or Animal Kingdom (Choose Your Adventure)
- Epcot for food & Future World
- OR Animal Kingdom for thrills and animals
- Relax on the Donkey Kong-inspired tropical patio at night
Day 5: LEGOLAND or Another Local Day
- Great option if you have younger kids
- OR spend a chill day at Lake Minneola + mini golf
Day 6: Last Park Day + Departure Prep
- Morning at Hollywood Studios or a second day at your favorite park
- Final night in Yoshi’s Fort
Pro Tips for Maximum Mario Magic
- Pack Mario, DK, and Yoshi shirts, hats, and plushies for the trip
- Use the house as your “home base”: driving from Clermont is often faster and less stressful than staying in Kissimmee
- Build in at least 1–2 non-park days (your kids will thank you)
- Take photos with the life-size Yoshi every night (the memories are priceless!)
Mario's Mini Mansion is PERFECT for this Itinerary!
Why? Because of the...
- Shorter drive times = less tired kids
- Real home comforts instead of a sterile hotel room (ick)
- The themed house becomes part of the vacation story instead of just blending into the background -- a richer experience for all!
