But the nickname ‘sunshine state’ is, as visitors soon discover, just a bit misleading. Orlando has hot, generally humid summers.

The second biggest expense, hands down, is eating at the theme parks. It isn’t Continue reading Orlando Vacations – Saving Money by Bringing Your Own Lunch Are you getting the most from your Orlando vacation?
