How does an all-you-can-eat pizza buffet with soup and salad sound? Sounds yummy right? Never mind about the nutritional value, you're on vacation :) Make sure you grab a coupon book at Walmart before you go, they always have great deals for Cicis!

Fish 'n' chips at an English pub! It's not exactly close but the food is good, the environment is lively and authentic, and it's a nice change from the Olive Garden's of the world.

If you have a car or are in the area, make sure you stop where the locals go for fine Mexican food! It's a bit off the beaten path but the food is great and the drinks are huge. You can find closer places for sure, but if you feel like exploring you can't go wrong here!

When in Florida, and you want to shop like a local, there is no better place than Publix! Although the Walmart nearby has everything you could ever need, Publix is more grocery orientated and has a delicious deli with some very tasty fried chicken, we think it's the best in Orlando!

Parks & Nature
Time to hit the beach? If you don't mind a bit of a drive you can check out what has been voted the #1 beach in the U.S.A. multiple times. One of the reasons for this is the white flour-like sand they have. It never gets hot and feels like you are walking on powder. Go early to get a parking spot as they can fill up quickly. Head further along the beach to find some hidden parking spots if the main lot is full!

It may not have the power-like sand of Siesta Key but this beach is lots of fun. You might like the fact that it can be a bit less crowded during the week. There are lots of restaurants and shops to see, and a Publix very close to the beach, pick up a sub and some drinks for a beach picnic!

Don't overlook this gem of a water park! SeaWorld's version of a water-filled playground is fun for the whole family. They have tons of slides, wave pools, kid-friendly zones, and even a couple of extreme slides for the braver amongst us.

Pandora is home to Avatar, only the top grossing film of all time, so chances are you've seen it? Well, Disney has gone all out to recreate the world of Pandora at Animal Kingdom. This place is spectacular, and home to the Flight of Passage, one of the most incredible rides ever created! This is your chance to fly on the back of a banshee, maybe something you didn't know you wanted to do but once you do, you'll want to do it again! The Na'vi River Journey ride is a relaxing (and short) trip along the Na'vi River where you will see various Na'vi going about their Na'vi routines. Sivako!

Drinks & Nightlife
While you're at Disney Springs make sure you check out the Boathouse, a waterfront restaurant that offers tours in vintage amphibious automobiles! Not at all cheap but probably something you've never done before or would ever get a chance to do again! While you're there you can easily stop at any of the many other bars and pubs at Disney Springs!

If you're looking for something fun to try and are able to take a cab or Lyft, try the Drinking Around the World self-guided tour! The magic happens in World Showcase where you start off in Canada and make your way through each country, sampling the various beer, martinis, and wine each country has to offer! This is perfect for a lazy afternoon if you have dinner reservations for later. Many groups have t-shirts made up to check off each country as they go. It's lots of fun but remember to drink responsibly and make sure you have a ride there and back! Not budget friendly at all but it's lots of fun!
