go to daytona, only about an hour drive. Never went to the circuit but the beach was quite good!  Drive up and down it in your car

Went to Daytona, stayed in a hotel on the beach well cool......just where they did the beach runs....
Also went to Daytona International Speedway, excellent day out........few of the NASCARS were out testing...
There is also Sebring (in the middleish...but an 'ordinary' circuit) and Homestead the latter being a bit far down south to where you are
staying though...
Daytona Linky
If you get to Daytona Int Speedway, go for the Daytona USA 'tour' if you can... 
Oh and have fun!

Seconeded....Daytona is a really nice place to chill out, wonder around the bars, beach, or of course the racetrack.....You can also see the rockets
at Cape Kenedy from the beach as well:d
Just stay away from the nachos...they made me ill!

Yeh just go to Daytona. The Disneyland thing is just a big rip-off. Food costs horrendous and no bars. Apparently the car parking charges at the
Florida one are extortion. Though I couldn't swear by it cos i've only been to the Tokyo and Paris ones. Funny seeing Japanese cowboys.
Mind you it was minus 6 in Paris and we couldn't find the car for ages after. Half the cars seemed to be silver Peugots like ours.

they tell you to customise your hire car since they are all identical!
Florida disney parking was $14 for a day, not too bad i thought. The rides were lame though
