You really have to treat America as a continent, not a country. Texas/NY/Florida/California are the cultural tentpoles (ignore people that bring up the midwest-Ohio-Chicago), but all of those are entirely different styles of vacation.

You have the cultural tentpoles
>Texas
>NYC
>Florida
>California
>Honorable mentions to Las Vegas, and New Orleans. Ignore the haters, they're fun as hell.
>However do listen to the Midwest/Ohio/Chicago haters.

Outside of the urban centers is an entirely different style of trip.
>West Coast forests and Hippy Retreats
>Mid-America Deserts and National Parks (You only have so much time to see a live Native American...)
>Southern/Gulf, with the best food, and fever dream swamp trips.
>East Coast beach-towns, or Appalachian Wilderness.

Pick like... 2 of one, and 1 of the other. For instance: If you go to New Orleans, you can meander either through Texas or middle America and end in Vegas without rushing, but otherwise you're just grabbing post cards and then leaving. Similar to starting in NYC for a couple days, then flying out to the desert for some exterior stuff, and then ending in Vegas. Oh, that's another thing. You have to end with Vegas, they basically hand you every liquor and drug you want when you land, and that's in combo with desert sun.

Also agree on skipping Disney. Frankly, I'd skip Florida entirely. The only thing it has that New Orleans doesn't is beach resorts, and NO's food and psycho Creole Voodoo Swamp bullshit is so much better than that. Deep Appalachia (WV has some of the best nature in the country), the reservations, and Salt-lake City are interesting to visit if you just want a taste of the more unique social outliers in the country. All of those don't have quite as much as the tentpoles, but all of them are surrounded by some of the best nature in the country.

Also eat at Waffle House
