Taxi fares add up fast and shuttle routes seem painfully slow after a long day of park-hopping, so take advantage of the largest rental car market in the world. But get a good map!
Prepare for the life aquatic
Pick up a waterproof camera to capture stress-free memories at the abundant water parks and splash-prone attractions.
Avoid the summer sauna
Orlando gets mighty steamy around mid-day. Schedule an air-conditioned lunch, hit some indoor attractions, or chill at your hotel pool during the hottest hours to prevent nasty sunburns and heat exhaustion.
Brace yourself for a chill

Gay Days brings more than 135,000 gays and lesbians to Orlando during the first weekend of June.
Art on the wild side
Orlando's International Fringe Festival takes over Loch Haven Park for 12 days of zany theatrical performances every May.
