There’s no better city to enjoy an extra hour of sunshine than Orlando.
At Rosen Plaza, we’re ready to help you spring into action with exciting ways to make the most of daylight saving time this March.
Whether you prefer relaxing by the pool or exploring the great outdoors, there is something for everyone to take advantage of the additional daylight.
Here are five tips to squeeze more fun from your extra hour of sun.
1. Take Advantage of the Outdoors
Is there a better, more natural way to soak up that sweet vitamin D than by going outside? When daylight saving time comes around, take advantage of that extra hour of sunlight by stepping outdoors.
After a winter of being indoors, this is also a great way to boost your vitamin D.
There are many ways to savor the sunlight; the easiest being using your extra time to go on a walk.
If you’re struggling to find motivation to wake up in the darkness of the morning to go for a jog or stroll, why not opt for a peaceful trot in the evening instead? With the sun not setting until after 8 p.m. in Orlando as summer approaches, you can spend your last few hours of daylight getting exercise.
The Shingle Creek Trail is conveniently located minutes from Rosen Plaza.
If you’re not much for physical activity during your vacation, you could simply opt for a relaxing evening at a park. Dr. P. Phillips Community Park is a short drive from Rosen Plaza near the Orlando Vineland Premium Outlets.
Nearby downtown Orlando is also home to popular parks like Lake Eola, Thornton Park, and Ivanhoe Park to meet all your nature needs.
2. Enjoy an Evening Swim at the Pool
What makes swimming in a pool most enjoyable is having that warm Florida sun cast over you while wading in refreshing water.
Rosen Plaza is home to a sizeable sparkling pool with plenty of room to swim laps under the springtime sun.
Prefer to relax in warm water as the afternoon light begins to roll into the evening? Take a soothing dip in our waterfall hot tub instead.
Whether you’re looking for an invigorating swim or a warm soak, Rosen Plaza’s pool area offers the perfect way to enjoy that extra hour of daylight.
3. Play an Outdoor Sport
Trips are all about taking time off and enjoying activities that are either relaxing, engaging, or both! During daylight saving time, that extra hour of sunlight offers the perfect opportunity to unwind with a leisurely round of golf.
Shingle Creek Golf Club, a short five-minute drive from Rosen Plaza, offers a convenient and challenging yet enjoyable golfing experience. The 18-hole award-winning course, designed by the Arnold Palmer Design Company, provides the perfect escape to enjoy the warm springtime weather and peaceful surroundings as you work on your swing.
With such convenient access, you can minimize travel time while maximizing tee time during your extra hour of sun.
4. Dine Outside for Dinner
This March, take advantage of your newfound daylight with an outdoor dinner experience.
There are several restaurants in Orlando with outdoor seating — especially near your hotel. Bahama Breeze, Café Tu Tu Tango, and Tin Roof are among the many restaurants along I-Drive’s corridor that couple outdoor seats with fantastic eats.
If you want to dine outside without having to leave the comfort of your hotel, ’39 Poolside Bar & Grill offers incredibly delicious on-site dining coupled with gorgeous views of our crystal-clear swimming pool.
Enjoy zesty burgers, flavorful sandwiches, tasty tacos, refreshing salads, and more. We also have an extensive cocktail menu, so you can sip and savor your meal all under the warm daylight.
5. Kill That Alarm and Sleep In
Sunrise after 7 a.m.? Sounds like the perfect excuse to stay cozy in bed a little longer.
You’re on vacation, after all. This is the perfect time to catch up on rest and rejuvenation.
Sleeping in gives you the extra energy you’ll need for all the evening fun that daylight saving time makes possible.
