One of my favourites is Anhinga trail after dusk, you'll find many ibis there
sleeping on their trees, every now and then breaking out in a roar of
gabbering. I loved this. At nearby Gumbo-Limbo Trail you can find millions of
insects chirping away. Really overwhelming when recorded binaurally. Finally I
would recommend Mahogany hammock. There you should find owls nesting in THE
biggest mahogany tree just besides the boardwalk. I got some very impressive
owlcalls there.
I have no idea if this helps you a lot as it's quite some way from Orlando to
the Everglades NP, but it is definitely worthwhile going there.
Generally I found these places quiet about one hour after sundown (in early
January), as by then most park visitors will have left the park. Elliot Lang is
right about the rumble. Urban areas are close. I would recommend insect
protection, but no insecticides (unless you want to melt plastic)
Anyway I whish you a wonderful weekend.
