The Other Orlando by Kelly Monaghan (2004, Paperback)

This book is a GREAT way to start planning your vacation "sans" Mickey. With Disney World Park Passes recently increased to over $67 per person, per day, Walt Disney World has become less and less accesible to the Middle Income traveler - and let's face it, that's most of us. I for one have better things to spend my savings on than a 2-week, $2000 Disney trip. It's nice to know that there are affordable, fun alternatives to the traditional Disney Vacation available to Orlando travelers! This book provides a wealth of information about Central Florida's other great attractions, including: SeaWorld Orlando, Discovery Cove, Busch Gardens, Kennedy Space Center, and Dinner Theatres. This fully revised Third Edition reviews over 200 attractions including sports venues, world-class museums, dinner attractions, the "Space Coast," zoos, gardens, and natural Florida attractions like Wekiva Springs. Buy it and start planning your family getaway!
