Disney

Scholars have studied it, travel blogs have debated it, and fans will obsess over it. Yes we are talking about the big kahuna of tourist attractions, the Magic Kingdom. There is probably not much about visiting Walt Disney World that hasn't already been said – but we'll give it a local's shot:

Greater Orlando can claim many a shopping mall, but locals know that one of the best little outlet gems is just down the road from Walt Disney World: the Lake Buena Vista Factory Stores. It is not as big or crowded as other outlets so it's an easier walking distance, parking is not an issue, yet the selection is still high-quality.

Did you know that there is a free movie and campfire sing-a-long at Fort Wilderness Campground every night? This is an activity open to all guests of Walt Disney World, not just those staying at the campground.

DisneyQuest is a game room at Downtown Disney that for this author's money, could be one of the best-kept secrets of Disney. Featuring five floors of virtual reality, classic video and even 4D games, it is well worth the price of admission. Do not miss the Virtual Jungle Cruise!
