In that case I certainly recommend it, The state park is just off the main highway that runs north out of Orlando. Olustee was the only thing resembling a "major" battle (basically just a division-sized force on both sides) in the state of Florida.

I don't know if Baton Rouge would be convenient on the route you will be taking but if it is, I would suggest checking to see if there is state park or anything there for the Battle of Baton Rouge. Another relatively small action compared to the big Virginia battles but about the closest thing you'll find to an actual "major" battle in this theater.
