The choice of how many days to dedicate to visiting Orlando and its parks it is variable, and in principle it depends on the duration of the trip to Florida. For example, for a classic week-long Florida vacation, you can spend 3 days in Miami and 4 days in Orlando, or vice versa.
1 day tour from Miami to Orlando are not recommended because the distance between the 2 cities is almost 400 km, so it would be necessary to do 800 km in one day. Consequently, it would be too tired and a visit to any park would not be exciting.

Also in this case, especially if you choose the second option, it is advisable to buy tickets that allow you to visit the various Disney parks or those of Universal Studios on the same day.
