Orlando on a Budget

Sunday September 7, 2008
The summer vacation season is done. Are you on the way to Orlando? Central Florida is among the world's favorite destinations when it's time to get away with the kids, but once they are back in school, lines shorten and prices drop. But as with all tourist-oriented places, Orlando can be pretty expensive when you don't know a few simple tips for finding bargains. Read this article about Orlando on a Budget and save your money for the fun things.

My husband (Justin) and I lived downtown Winter Park, Fl for 3 months (Feb-April 2008). If you want to get away from Mickey and the tourists, drive just 15 mins north to Winter Park and walk around downtown. On www.justinandnatalie.com we share our favorite restaurants and things to do. Just visit the website and you can click on “Cities”, to see where we have lived and explored.

Along with our “we like to move around and explore” lifestyle, Justin and I are leaving on a big adventure soon. We leave on September 30th to backpack to various countries around the world for a year or so.

As we have been planning for our adventure we have been updating a blog. www.nomadbackpackers.com We would love to have other opinions, ideas, encouragement, advice, helpful tips, and more left as comments.

Thanks,
Natalie

Natalie, I’ll confess I’m always green with envy whenever I read something like this…it’s something I wish all of us could do at some point in our lives. Stay safe and please share your best budget travel discoveries with us in our Forum!

By the way, I share your opinion of Winter Park — it is a cool place. It makes a great escape from the touristed parts of Greater Orlando.
