second choice we would obviously be
amiss in not giving Orlando a place of
honor on today's list Orlando Florida is
on most people's bucket lists and once
you visit once it's hard to not come
back regularly the obvious appeal to
Orlando Florida is that it's the home of
Walt Disney World and if you can't
afford the price of the park tickets

meet Mickey ride the monorail enjoy the

Potter is a must-see even if you're not
