Plan Your Best Orlando Vacation Yet: How Vacation Rentals By Owner Give You More And Help You Save

Orlando is a haven for fun family activities. From Disney World to Gatorworld and everything in between, there are literally weeks worth of activities here.

If you're bringing along the kids, the grandparents and maybe even the cousins, it only makes sense to take advantage of the many Orlando vacation rentals available. You won't pay extra for additional rooms, won't have to request adjoining rooms and can even make your own breakfast and dinner to save a few dollars.

ORLANDO

In Orlando, there are literally thousands of vacation rentals to choose from. You might rent a villa, condo, apartment or pool house. These Orlando vacation rentals are equipped with more than a regular hotel room (some including plasma TVs and hot tubs) but might cost the same or even less than an Orlando-area hotel room.

Once you find your Orlando villa rental and settle in for your vacation, it's time to explore this exciting and activity-filled city.

Since Disney is the destination of the majority of Orlando visitors, you'll likely start there. You could spend days exploring the wonder of the Magic kingdom and Epcot alone. But don't forget to take time to visit Disney's two water parks - Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon.

After you're done with Disney, take a day off to enjoy the pool or hot tub at your Orlando-area villa rental or spend a day shopping at Downtown Disney, which is full of upscale, family, and unique shops and fun restaurants. Or head for Orlando's Old Town, an outdoor shopping area full of restaurants, amusement park rides and more than 75 specialty shops.

Once you're relaxed and ready to resume activities, consider Universal Studios or head for the Kennedy Space Center, located just about 45 minutes away from Orlando. There, you might meet an astronaut, train in a spaceflight simulator, or visit the Astronaut Hall of Fame. If you're lucky, you might see a space shuttle lifting off.

When you're ready for something a little different, take a drive from your Orlando villa rental one day to the Holy Land Experience. Dubbed a "living, biblical museum that takes you 6,000 miles away and 2,000 years back in time to the land of the bible," it's sure to be an outing to write home about.

For another fun outing sure to challenge the mind, explore Wonderworks, a museum/interactive facility which is called "an amusement park for the mind".

Although Orlando is home to many high-energy activities, there are many relaxing options available as well. Of course, you can always relax at your Orlando vacation rental, but you might want to head out to one of the more than 100 golf courses in the area or go shopping at the upscale Mall of Millennia. Check out Bill's Airboat Adventures, where you can take a guided airboat tour of the marshlands and backwaters of the St. Johns River.

No matter what you choose to do in Orlando - and there are many options - you'll surely enjoy retreating each night to the comfort and homey feeling of your Orlando-area vacation rental.

SeaWorld Orlando Florida - Savings, Entertainment and Meal Tips

Planning a family vacation can be loads of fun, especially if SeaWorld Orlando is your destination. Resources are available to help with the research and planning including automobile clubs and online travel resources. In this article I will share savings, entertainment and meal tips that made our multiple visits enjoyable and perhaps may add to your family's enjoyment of this wonderful park.

Save on SeaWorld Orlando Park Tickets

ORLANDO

We purchased our park tickets online at the SeaWorld website and were able to buy adult tickets at the children's ticket price and receive a second visit free! We enjoyed having an additional day to visit the second half of the park. We also found the free second day tickets needed to be collected at the Customer Service desk located on the left after walking through the Main Entrance.

Save on Parking at SeaWorld Orlando Florida

The park offers Shamu V.I.P. parking at an increased rate over the regular parking rate. The V.I.P. parking provides parking closer to the park entrances. In March 2009 the Shamu V.I.P. parking rate was versus the regular parking rate at the time of .00. The tip I would like to share here is that We found arriving at the park within one hour of opening gave us access to parking lot B which was within close walking distance to either of the park's entrances, especially the entrance closest to Parking Lot B. It is close, convenient and cost efficient!

Entertainment and Food Tips for SeaWorld Orlando Florida

The Believe Show and the Blue Horizon shows are must-see shows that the entire family will enjoy! Arrive early at the shows and secure your favorite seat! For the Believe Show, my family sat in the soak zone hoping to get drenched by one of the whales, while I sat in a beautiful seat that was dry and still had a great unobstructed view. The music, animals, and trainers provided stunning entertainment. If you arrive early to the Believe Show there is a snack bar located at the base of the stadium if you want a little snack to enjoy prior to the show start time.

The Blue Horizon show is outstanding also and if you enjoy taking and watching video the center section aisle seats are sure to be the place to record fantastic video of the show. As with the Believe Show the Blue Horizon show is a beautiful showcase of color and imagery including macaws, a condor and the famously acrobatic dolphins.

Mango Joe's is the place to go for outdoor dining with great food and beautiful surroundings! Located close to the Believe show stadium and the Wild Artic attraction, this was a perfect spot for fajitas, chicken fingers and fries, fresh garden wraps,chocolate cake, and a couple adult beverages! The food was fresh and the al fresco dining was superb.

Several Reasons to Smile

SeaWorld Orlando is a fantastic park. During our visits we have found the staff members to all be gracious, the park and facilities to be very clean, and a large assortment of activities including lots of rides. A trip to SeaWorld Orlando is sure to please, and with a little savings on tickets and parking, there are even more reasons to smile!

Information on the Orlando Climate

The Orlando Climate is sub tropical. The weather tends to be warm and humid. The climate is influenced by several factors. The Gulf Stream and the city's proximity to the Tropic of Cancer affect the climate. The low elevation of the city adds to the humidity level. There are two basic seasons in Florida: a hot summer season and cooler winter season.

Orlando Climate in the Summer Season

ORLANDO

During the summer season, the weather is hot and humid. The average temperature during the day is in the nineties. At night, the temperatures range from the seventies to the eighties. The heat index during the day can get quite high. A heat index of over one hundred degrees is not uncommon.

The summer is also the rainy season in Florida. Storms are quite common, especially in the late afternoon. Most of these storms are caused by air from the Atlantic and air from the Gulf colliding over central Florida. At times, these storms can be quite violent. The storms often bring wind, thunder, lightening and hail. Orlando is known for more lightening strikes each year than any other city in the United States.

The rainfall during these storms can be very heavy. The months from June through September bring the most rain to Orlando. The average rain fall during these months is about fifty inches. In some years, this number is even higher. Often, the storms are strong, but short lived. You will usually be able to enjoy the evening outdoors after a storm. Unlike some areas of the country, the rain does not cool the temperature. Often the humidity is even higher just after a thunderstorm.

Hurricane season also occurs in the summer. The official hurricane season runs from June through November. Since Orlando is not on the coast, the city often escapes the brunt of the storm's landfall. By the time most storms reach the city, they have weakened considerably. However, this doesn't mean the city is safe from these strong and unpredictable storms. The city has sustained damage from several storms over the years.

Orlando Climate in the Winter Season

In the winter, you will know why Florida is called The Sunshine State. There is very little rainfall during this season. Most days are dry and sunny. The weather in the winter really is beautiful. This is a fabulous time to plan a trip to Florida. Many tourists flock to the area during this season to escape the freezing temperatures in the northern part of the country. For more information contact the Florida Tourist offices.

The months of December through May are the driest months of the year. In some years, the weather is way too dry during the winter months. This increases the risk of wild fires in central Florida. In the past, these have gotten quite severe.

The temperatures in the winter season are very mild. The average daily temperature ranges from the mid sixties to the seventies. The night time temperatures are generally in the fifties. There is virtually no snow in the Orlando area. The few times there have been flurries, they don't accumulate. If you want to escape the winter, this is the place to come.

Orlando Florida Vacation Guide

One vacation destination that many will travel to for the first time is Orlando Florida: known for incredible theme parks, tasty dining options, luxurious resorts and more.

orlando magic snapback hat

Whether you are planning an Orlando Florida Vacation to visit Disney World, Sea World, Universal Studios, or a number of other famous attractions, preparing for the big trip can often be a hassle. I'd like to give you a quick guide on how to efficiently plan your Orlando Vacation, from where to go and stay to the places to eat and play.

ORLANDO

1. What to Bring to Orlando

Most often it is warm in Orlando during all seasons, but make sure that you check up on the weather for your vacation week and pack accordingly. If you have kids, bring layers for cold nights in addition to bathing suits and warm climate apparel.

2. Find an Orlando Hotel or Resort Nearby

Although there are quite a few good hotel deals around Orlando Florida, many of them don't have close access to Disney and the other theme parks. Your trip will be much better if you have easy access to the fun destinations you want to go to. Many of these resorts and their partners will offer special Orlando Vacation packages that provide theme park tickets in addition to lodging for a value price.

3. Pick your Theme Park

If this is your first time to Orlando and have a limited amount of time, how do you decide between Disney, SeaWorld, Universal Studios and Busch Gardens? This depends on who you are traveling with and what kind of Orlando experience you want to have.

Family with Young Kids: If you are with young kids, Disney World is a sure thing; the Magic Kingdom and Epcot offer a a great deal of fun and a lifetime of memories for those impressionable young minds. Family with Teenagers: If you are traveling with teenagers (who are difficult to impress), Universal Studios can provide them countless hours of high-tech fun that revolves around the hottest movies and trends. Romantic Getaway: If you are on a romantic getaway, Downtown Disney's Pleasure Island is a great place to grab a good drink and romantic dinner. Busch Gardens is also provides a fun day-time adventure for a couple looking for a good time. Animal Lovers: For animal lovers, Sea World and the Animal Kingdom are the places to experience the adventure of Underwater Seascapes and African Savannah.

One of the pleasures of any vacation is trying out the cuisine of a particular locality. If Orlando is your vacation destination then you will have a wide choice of restaurants to choose from. It would never be possible to give a complete survey of the dining possibilities in Orlando or any city in only one article but here is a sampling of low budget and high budget restaurants that have proven popular with visitors to Orlando.

orlando florida

Since I am writing this during a time of economic recession let me start with the low budget restaurants. These are places where you can get a good meal but not dent your wallet too much.

ORLANDO

Bubbalou's Bodacious Bar-B-Cue Ribs

Bubbalou's Bodacious Bar-B-Cue Ribs are the main dish here, and this restaurant has been voted as Central Florida's best barbecue restaurant by readers of the Orlando Sentinel.

Orlando's Hard Rock Café is located in the Universal Studios CityWalk area and it is the biggest café of this worldwide chain and also has the largest collection of rock memorabilia in the entire chain. If you like munching on a hamburger and gazing at an original guitar from one of your rock heroes, then be sure to visit Orlando's Hard Rock Café.

Now let's look at some of the higher-end restaurants that are popular with local residents and visitors alike.

Hemingways

As long as you are in Florida then you might as well get into the magic of one of Key West's most famous residents, the writer Ernest Hemingway. Hemingway's is decorated with the rods and reels, stuffed trophy fish and nautical trinkets of the writer who gave us the classic "The Old Man and the Sea." The cuisine is regional and includes coconut shrimp and paella. A typical meal will cost you about . The restaurant is located at Lake Buena Vista 1 Grand Cypress Blvd

Orlando Vacation Rental - Orlando Luxury Vacation Villas

Orlando luxury vacation villas should allow you to enjoy your well-earned holiday in the most luxurious Orlando vacation rental homes that Florida has to offer. Whether you are visiting Orlando with your family for a visit to Disney World, or with your partner or buddies on a golfing trip, you will be seeking accommodation offering you something different from that you are used to.

orlando magic snapback

Orlando has great deal to offer, and although it best known to many for Disney World, the fairy-tale complex was not sited in this part of Florida by accident. The climate is ideal for a vacation, and the area offers lots to do and see, such as Gatorland, Universal studios and a host of golf courses in addition to all the night-life you want. It is one of the world's best known vacation destinations.

ORLANDO

If you are used to the best that life has to offer, why should your vacation home in Orlando offer you less? If you are like most of us, and enjoy a bit of luxury once in a while, just check out what Orlando vacation rental villas have to offer. Just as Disney can satisfy the imagination of your children, Orlando can cater for your imagination in what you might want in your vacation home.

If you want a pool and Jacuzzi or spa, you've got it. No need to share a pool with an entire hotel - you can have your own with a short term Orlando luxury vacation villa. You can also rent a town house, condo or estate villa in its own extensive grounds or as part of a complex. How about a gourmet granite kitchen, home cinema and entertainment system, or fantastic floors made of marble? You deserve a bit of luxury while on vacation: you have worked all year for it so why not pamper yourself?

Sure, if you are used to luxury you can likely book a top class hotel, but why cram yourself and your family into hotel rooms when you can enjoy the comfort of a proper home. You can enjoy the privacy and peace and quiet that you cannot get in a hotel, and many people opt for vacation estate villas just for these reasons. If the thought of cooking makes you shudder you are not forced to use the kitchen since Orlando boasts some of the best restaurants in the world.

There is a wide range of Orlando luxury vacation homes available for short term rental, with villas of up to eight bedrooms on offer. Such properties also offer up to eight bathrooms, and most have pools and spas with other luxury facilities. Considering the number of shopping malls and restaurants available in and around Orlando, these are genuine alternatives to hotel rooms. In fact the rooms tend to be larger and better furnished than the average hotel room, and many people prefer them.

Little wonder, then, that Orlando vacation rental villas are increasing rapidly in popularity, and if you take the current economic situation into consideration then they are suddenly compellingly attractive. You get a lot more for your money with a vacation villa in Orlando than with a hotel Normally, if you want experience the luxury that these Orlando luxury vacation rentals offer, you would have to book into a top class hotel at a fairly high room price. However, that need not necessarily be the case with a villa since the relative costs depend on the size of your family or party. This is easier to understand if you consider how the system works.

These villas are designed to offer luxury, and are decorated and furnished to a very high standard. The pool, spa and entertainment facilities have been previously mentioned, and some also offer a games room including a billiard table. Yet others are part of a complex, offering a gym, restaurant and other communal facilities.

You pay for the vacation villa by the day, irrespective of the number in your party up to an allowed maximum. For example, a typical 6 bedroom Orlando vacation rental villa sleeps 12 people at a cost of 5 daily during the summer and less the rest of the year, except special times such as Christmas. Compare that with the price of hotel rooms for 12 people and it is clear why this type of vacation accommodation is becoming increasingly more popular.

Add to that the privacy that your own villa offers, the peace of not having noisy people enter the room next door in the early hours and the increasing financial pressure being placed on families as the credit squeeze tightens and money becomes scarcer, and it is little wonder that the proposition is so attractive to so many people.

If you intend to vacation in Orlando this year or next then you will find Orlando vacation rental villas available close to Disney and to Orlando itself, and also near all the major tourist attractions in this part of Florida. You will not be disappointed with any of the Orlando luxury vacation properties available for short term rent.

Movie Lovers - Enjoy Your Visit to Universal Studios, Orlando

If you are fascinated by the movies and made-in-Hollywood films then a visit to the Universal Studios theme park in Orlando Florida is the golden opportunity to go on thrilling rides based on your favorite movies and to get behind the scenes and see how movies are actually made.

orlando magic shorts

There is a lot on offer at Universal Studios so here is a brief guide to what you can enjoy there.

ORLANDO

The first stop for film and movie buffs is probably the Production Central area of Universal Studios. You will find it just beyond the front gates it is a real working film and television production studio. If you are fan of the Shrek series, then be sure to take in the Shek 4D feature. Despite the name it is actually a 3D film, produced in "Ogrevision" and has the standard Shrek cast of Shrek, Princess Fiona, Donkey and Prince Charming.

Universal also combines standard roller coasters with film themes. An example of this is the Revenge of the Mummy ride. The Universal Studios website describes it as follows: "Plunge into total darkness as you face fireballs, scarab beetles, and an army of warrior mummies on a psychological thrill ride totally unlike anything that's come along in the past 3,000 years!" If that sounds attractive, then be sure to get on this ride.

If you are a science fiction fan then Universal Studios is the right place for you. The Terminator series was a scary look at the near future and the Terminator attraction at Universal Studios and the Terminator 2: 3-D Battle Across Time is sure to thrill fans of the film series. Universal claims that is one of most technologically advanced of theme park rides, on this planet.

Speaking about planets, would you like to help the Men in Black protect the Earth from alien threats? If so then do not miss the Men in Black Alien Attack ride. Universal created 120 creepy alien "species" for this attraction, and you get to ride in a six-passenger vehicle that is "armed" with laser guns. When you get in the vehicle you will chase the aliens through the streets of New York City and it is up to you to protect the planet by zapping the aliens.

One of the biggest blockbuster hits of Universal Studios in Hollywood was Jaws, and in Orlando Jaws is brought back to life in a thrilling ride. You get to face the three-ton monster in a flimsy boat and it is sure to get your adrenaline pumping.

There is of course, lighter entertainment at Universal including plenty of outdoors shows. The Blues Brothers Show and the tribute to comedy queen Lucille Ball are two very popular attractions at the park. And if you are looking for entertainment, then be sure to stay around for the night clubs, restaurants and concerts at the CityWalk area of this theme park. CityWalk combines dining, shopping and entertainment venues all in a compact and fascinating "downtown" area adjacent to the other attractions of the park.

All in all, Universal Studios lives up to its reputation as one of Orlando's major attractions.

Blizzard Beach in Orlando

Blizzard Beach? Where in the world is Blizzard Beach? Are you one of those people who has not heard of Blizzard Beach? Well, let me tell you about this crowning jewel of Orlando Florida and my trip to this exciting resort.

orlando florida

I discovered that Blizzard Beach was the only place in the state of Florida where I could find snow everywhere however I observed no ice what-so-ever. Blizzard Beach is a 66 acre plot of land developed as a water adventure park and located at Orlando's Disney World Resort.

ORLANDO

Only at Blizzard Beach did I experience a water park that appeared as a ski resort amidst a tropical lagoon. Blizzard Beach developed when a freak winter storm deposited snow upon the western portion of Disney World's property. With this idea in mind the management at Disney World developed the first Floridian snow ski resort.

Unfortunately, the planned did not quit develop as expected. The hot Florida temperatures soared higher and higher causing the ice and snow to quickly began to melt and disappear. The resort operators closed down shop just as quickly as they had opened their doors. Rumor has it that one of the operators noticed a small alligator sliding down the ice slopes and an idea was born. The operator realized that the melted snow created a very tall, fast and exciting water filled toboggan and ski run. As a result of these observations a ski resort and water adventure park developed and was born. The park was located north of the Disney All Star Resorts.

During my visit to the park I was greeted by the amazing views of "skiers" that were sliding down the side of a 90 foot snow crested mountain known as Mt. Gushmore. Mt. Gushmore is home to the parks newest waterslide affectionately called Downhill Double Dipper. This is the only side by side water slide which stands 50 feet in height and 200 feet in length. I ended up traveling 25 miles per hour caught in its twisting turns before finally being deposited through a shower of water. It also features a slalom course, both a water sled run and a toboggan slide. The 120 foot long Summit Plummet is the highlight of this theme park. This plummet is the nation's fastest and tallest free fall slide around.

Once I tired of the slides, I visited Teamboat Springs which brags as being the world's longest white water rafting ride anywhere. They take up to a family of six in a raft down the twisting 1200 foot water falls. Nearby I discovered the Toboggan Racer. This is an eight lane water slide which sends the guests racing over several exciting dips as they quickly descend the snow covered slope.

Don't think for one moment that the fun ends here for included in these 66 acres of land are the Snow Stormers, the Runoff Rapids and the Chair Lift. If you plan a trip to Orlando and specifically to the Disney World Resorts you should especially make plans to see Blizzard Park.

orlando florida

Bennigan's Grill & Tavern (Many Locations)

ORLANDO

Bennnigan's boasts of offering 100 types of beer and other drinks as well, making its alcoholic menu greater than its food menu. The food is served in a loud, lively atmosphere. Some specialties include the fire-roasted salsa shrimp, charbroiled and basted in a smoky sauce, the Monte Cristo, combining ham, turkey, and Swiss and American cheeses on wheat bread that has been dipped in batter and deep fried. If you are watching your weight there are several healthy, low calorie "Health Club" dishes.

Bubbalou's Bodacious Bar-B-Cue 5818 Conroy Rd. Orlando, FL 32819

Bubbalou's is considered by local residents to be one of the best rib restaurants in the area. You can order at the counter, get a drink and then sit down at a picnic table. You can try the chopped pork sandwiches and the "Texas caviar," cold black-eyed peas in a spicy vinaigrette. In addition to the ribs you can choose from the chicken, lamb and smoked turkey. All of these cooked over an open-pit fire. Be careful for their "killer" sauce, it can destroy your taste-buds! The restaurant has been voted Central Florida and Orlando's Favorite BBQ Restaurant and BBQ Catering Service by the readers of the Orlando Sentinel

IHOP (Many Locations)

This chain has been serving mouth watering breakfasts for over 40 years. They've got a wide variety of pancakes to choose from, including Chocolate Chip Pancakes, Banana Nut Pancakes, Buttermilk Pancakes, Country Griddle CakesSM, and fruit-topped pancakes.

Thai Thani

This restaurant is known for its authentic Thai cuisine and the Thai Thani Restaurant is a must-visit destination for lovers of Thai food. In addition to the authentic food, it has a décor to match.

Diving with Manatees in Crystal River

ORLANDO

If you want an unforgettable experience, take the opportunity that many tour companies offer to swim and interact with the Manatees in the Crystal River where they are present all year round! For diving enthusiasts this is a dive like no other you will have encountered. Most tour companies offer a full day or two day tour and give you the chance to snorkel and dive with the wildly popular animals in small groups. To help protect the animals you should not feed or touch them, these beloved creatures are very curious and will often approach you so you can have a once in a life time up-close experience with these friendly giants when you are lucky enough to go swimming with Manatees.

Most tour operators don't charge extra fees for Snorkel or Diving equipment as they include this within the price. The majority of tour operators also include lunch and with many you can be picked up and dropped off at your hotel so be sure to check the details. Most operators will not allow children under the age of 3 to go swimming with the magnificent Manatees in Florida.

The Manatee (Trichechus manatus) are the State Marine Mammal of Florida and anyone who has dived in the presence of this endangered species will know how beautiful and intelligent they are.

Challenging Dives

For a more challenging Scuba Diving experience visitors to Orlando, Florida can head over to the famous Blue Grotto, being a cavern dive all participants should be at least qualified to Openwater Level One.

When you first enter the Blue Grotto, it appears as though it is only a small pond. In fact depths can reach up to 100ft, there is, however a fresh air bell at 30 ft which will enable you to take off your mask and breath fresh air. As you continue to submerge, you are automatically transported into the 'grand ballroom'.

Devil's Den is a pre-historic cavern carved by Florida's underwater aquifer millions of years ago. Even before entering the water at this site, the views are simply awesome. Upon entering the site stairs have been carved out in nature's very own style, the Limestone stairs lead down about 60 feet.

The cavern has fantastic visibility of up to 100 feet underwater and the giant boulders and tiny swim throughs are decorated with Fossils embedded into the Limestone.

For a day to remember most tour operators will allow you to dive Devil's Den and the Blue Grotto on the same day.

Cheap Travel Orlando - Great Local Area Restaurants

When looking for cheap travel Orlando tips and advice on local restaurants, the best advice is always going to come from someone who actually lives in the area. I've been a resident in the Central Florida area for most of my life and I love trying new restaurants.

orlando magic snapback

The restaurants and eateries I will mention are not your usual tourist-trap-type places. For those, just stick with International Drive and the theme park areas. The places I will mention here are for those of you who would like to venture away from the theme parks and explore the actual city of Orlando and its outlying areas. So a rental car is needed. Don't try to get to these restaurants using a taxi or other public transportation as this will seriously deplete your vacation budget and ensure this will not be a very good cheap travel Orlando deal!

ORLANDO

For Italian, I normally do not like to eat at chain restaurants. The best Italian restaurants are the family owned type. One that I highly recommend is located in Casselberry, which is considered by locals to be part of Orlando. Palma Maria is family owned and operated since 1981 and located in Summit Plaza at 1015 East Semoran Blvd. This is homemade Italian superbly cooked. A word of warning here though. This is NOT the place to go if you are in a hurry. The pace here can only best be described as "leisurely." What does that mean? Plan on waiting a while for a table to be set up for you and also for your dinner. No one hurries in this place. I usually go with friends and we use the time to talk so it's no problem. Honestly the homemade bread alone is worth the trip though. They bring you an entire loaf of steaming hot, crusty, yeasty bread along with real butter to slather on. The pasta is absolutely delicious. I can't really say a bad word about this place but just remember not to go if you are in a hurry, and this is an excellent cheap travel Orlando tip for a wonderful place to eat.

In the mood for barbecue? I can heartily recommend Backyard Boys Bar B Que. You will find other articles and publications recommending all manner of BBQ restaurants but I've tried most of them and hands down I would want to eat at Backyard Boys. This is a fairly new restaurant to my area but I've already been there about 4 times in the past month alone. The baby back ribs are scrumptious, the BBQ chicken is moist, the service is wonderful, and there are a slew of great sides to choose from. For a cheap travel Orlando deal, this one is right up there. Don't miss it! It is located near the Seminole Town Center Mall in Sanford, another outlying area but not too far off the beaten track.

Now some may not consider this a secret or anything like that, but I simply love Big Boy Restaurant. It used to be called Frisch's many years ago, then they left Florida, and now they are back under simply the name Big Boy. This is not a fancy place but as cheap travel Orlando deals go, it is great for the family. My favorite thing to eat there is the Slim Jim which is like the Buddy Boy that Frisch's used to have. The Big Boy is great too, and the onion rings are hand cut and breaded. They are awesome! But truly the best thing there is the Hot Fudge Cake. This is my all-time favorite dessert. It is so bad for you but oh so delicious. You can find these restaurants scattered around here and there. One is located in Sanford.

These cheap travel Orlando restaurant tips should help you find a great place to dine while in Orlando.
