How to Vacation in Orlando With Kids

Visiting Orlando with kids can be an expensive trip. Although places like Disney World, Universal Studios, and Sea World should definitely be visited, a family with a budget can take the kids to see some other interesting-and free-tourist spots.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Kids

1. Visit the Boardwalk. Although created by Disney, this boardwalk is free to stroll on. It features street performers, magicians, and musicians for visitors to enjoy.

2. See Fake Snow. At Reading Trout Books, not only is there a wide assortment of Disney books, but they also create fake snow in the winter.

3. Watch the fireworks. The nightly fireworks at Disney can be seen every night of the week-even from outside of the park.

4. Go to Spook Hill. Just outside of Orlando is Spook hill, a place where a car can be stopped, put into neutral, and then proceed to roll uphill.

5. See the Peabody Ducks. Watch the March of the Peabody Ducks at the Peabody Orlando Hotel as the ducks march to the music of John Philip Sousa from the hotel to a nearby pond at 11 a.m. and back at 5 p.m. every day.
