If Orlando Florida is one of your favorite vacation spots like it is mine and you have gone there for many years you are probably parked out. What I mean by that is you are tired of going to all the theme parks that Orlando Florida has to offer.

I lived there for fifteen years and everyone that came to Florida to pay me a visit drove me crazy until I took them to either Disney World, Universal Studio’s, Sea Word or Busch Gardens. I was so sick of going to those parks at least once a week that I finally gave up and when we got visitors from up north I just gave them the keys to my car and said have a blast. Yes I wanted to spend time with my friends but those places almost had me broke because we were going all the time.

My family loved going to Orlando Florida for the weekend to get away because we worked a business out of our home and the phone never stopped ringing for one thing or another. So we would pack our bags every Friday night and take off before we go involved in more work. We just wanted to get away to enjoy each other’s company.

Being burned out going to theme parks all the time we decided to see what else Orlando Florida had to offer and over the next few weeks we found some really great thing to do. One place close to Orlando was the Kennedy Space Center. We got to take a look at a space shuttle on the staging area that was getting ready to launch. We went into the space center itself and got a tour of interesting artifacts and the training station and lots more. I bought the coolest pen I ever seen that was used while in space and after 20 years I am still using it today.

If you want to live one of your childhood fantasies you can do it in Orlando Florida, by taking an Orlando Sunrise Hot air balloon ride. It will certainly wake you up and get you going for the day as they take you over some beautiful lakes and forests which will be the heights of your weekend getaway. You will be able to see all the sights and Orlando in a way you can never experience it on the ground. You will be traveling over some of the theme parks and many of the orange groves of Florida; of course it depends on which way the wind is blowing.

How about a swim with some Manatees in Crystal River which are endangered spices? These Indian manatees are like water cows and are very gentle. You can take an airboat ride through the everglades and meet up with some of Florida’s wildlife like it’s never been seen before. By the way if you do not like airboat rides which some people do not, you can do the same trip in your own vehicle. So in a nut shell here is what you get on this adventure, A 90 minute narrated boat ride, all you can eat breakfast, picnic lunch at Crystal River, 45 minute airboat adventure to see the manatees feeding, bears, alligators, hippo and panthers. All I can say is it was one great adventure.

These are just a few exciting adventures you can find in Orlando Florida besides the Wonderful World of Disney. There were many more wonderful adventures we found and we had a wonderful time finding them. So come on down to Orlando Florida and see if you can find some yourself.

Disney World has become the pinnacle of all family vacation destinations. While there is no doubt that your family will have fun at Disney World, getting there and back on a tight budget is sometimes easier said than done. But like all vacation spots, there are some tips for Disney World that can save you hundreds of dollars.

One of the largest expenditures you will face on any vacation is the cost of food and beverage. Tourism areas know that you have to eat on your trip and some use this advantage to hike up prices beyond reasonable means. Disney World is no stranger to the tourism industry and you certainly aren’t going to find any $3.00 lunch specials within park boundaries. But there are ways to control your food costs at Disney. Here are some simple tips to get you started.

Use the Meal Packages

If you are purchasing a Magic Your Way package, then you have probably contemplated whether or no the food options are worth it. As it turns out, they are actually a pretty good deal based on convenience and cost. Typically you have access to two sit-down meals and one concession snack with the most popular packages. There are plenty of restaurants within the park that participate in this offer, and if you plan your meal effectively, then you will find the package to be a great add-on. Purchasing in advance also helps to control your budget so that you don’t spend beyond your means.

Eat Before You Go

This is a very good strategy, especially for breakfast time. There are hundreds of convenient food outlets in the vicinity of the theme parks, and all of them offer substantial savings to what you will find inside Disney. Obviously it is difficult to exit the park solely for meals, but grabbing a bite before you enter is easy enough to plan for.

Eat Later Meals

The way that you structure your meal times can also impact how much you will spend of food and beverage. If you can eat a later lunch for instance, you will probably be able to hold off on dinner until your trip home. This will allow you to dine outside of the park where there are cheaper options. You can also consider subsidizing meals with concession snacks to get your family by until you find an option on the outside. If you plan properly, you will likely only need to have one full meal inside the park.

Utilize Children’s Portions

As the average portion size continues to increase in America, we find ourselves leaving more and more on our plate. Use this to your advantage by purchasing kids meals for adults. A simple platter of chicken tenders and fries is usually more than enough to tide over the average adult. Of course many of the sit-down restaurants have policies against this, but the food court areas do not. Thus, you can beat the system by targeting these outlets for your primary meal.

Like any tourism business, Disney World charges a premium for their food items. While this can be disappointing to first-time visitors, veteran Disney-goers know there are plenty of ways to find a cheap meal. The key is to know your options and plan ahead. A small amount of strategy can save you hundreds of dollars.

My husband retired last year, and I have always been a stay at home mom raising the kids. However, our wonderful children have since grown and are living their own lives, so my husband George and I can do what we want to now. Not that we couldn’t when our kids were growing up, but you know what I mean – we can start having adventures again.

I’m always amazed at the fun things George has up his sleeve after all these years. I mean, we’re in our late 60′s and people often mistake us for newlyweds! Can you imagine? George always gives me little hints about our trips and all he would say is that we were going to a Florida attraction I’d never guess. He sure was right! George surprised me just last week on our 45th wedding anniversary with a brochure on Cypress Airboats. Never in my life did I imagine I’d be riding on any kind of open air boat in the midst of snakes, lizards, alligators, and lord knows what else.

I would have thought George might take me to one of the better-known Florida Attractions like Disney World or Busch Gardens. I am so glad he chose an airboat tour instead! It was so thrilling!

George selected an early morning airboat tour, and we had breakfast just before we started. When I stepped onto the airboat, I was really nervous, but George just tucked my arm under his and guided me along like he has all these years. We were able to see alligators, and the only place I ever thought I’d want to see alligator skin was on a purse! It was just so exciting. I felt like I could reach out and touch the alligators, but of course, I didn’t!

The best part of the airboat trip, aside from having a special tour of the Florida Everglades with my wonderful husband, was when we saw a blue heron. One of our first dates way back when was at a jazz club called the Blue Heron. There is no way George could have anticipated we would see a blue heron on our trip with Cypress Airboats, but it made our tour even more perfect.

If you are considering a trip to Florida, I would definitely recommend Cypress Airboats’ private tours over any other Florida Attraction. Sure, you could go ride roller coasters and see how movies are made, but those are common events in a person’s life and will be logged with all the other memories you often forget. I can’t think of any attraction in Florida that is more memorable that the Florida Everglades with their thick vegetation and fantastic wildlife. George and I had such a great time we’re thinking of going again for our 50th wedding anniversary and taking an even longer airboat tour!
