Car driving tips and advice for Orlando, Florida

Car driving tips in the Orlando, Florida area

Visiting Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida is a popular vacation for many. However driving in a strange city and even a different country if your from outside the USA can present challenges. Here’s some driving advice for the Orlando, Florida area.

If you decide to get a USA car hire and do your own driving on your Disney vacation there are some things you should know. First of course is that everyone drives on the right hand side of the road. If your from a place where you drive on the left it will take a little getting use to, however you quickly learn it.

Remember that you will be in a tourist area, which means many other people are driving around on vacation and don’t know where they are going. Watch for other cars making sudden lane changes and turns as they come up to exits too fast. Or cars braking suddenly as they see their exit and they are in the wrong lane.

Pet Halloween costume contest YouTube video I made

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving weekend. I cooked a turkey myself and it came out great surprisingly! There are lots of things going on around Orlando during the fall and winter months.

One thing I do is go to the pet events that are held around Orlando in the fall. A popular one is called Wiggle Waggle Walk. It’s a great event that helps local pet rescue organizations and shelters.

One of the highlights of the event is a cool pet Halloween costume contest they have. So I took a video of it and made a pet Youtube video of it. I thought you might like to see it, so here it is above.

It’s amazing how many different pet costumes there are and the work that goes into each one. So watch the Wiggle Waggle Walk pet Halloween costume contest YouTube video above and enjoy! :)

From Orlando Inside, happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving day from Orlando Inside!

Once again it’s time for Thanksgiving day in the USA! Time to count your blessings and be thankful for whatever you have. This year has been hard on lots of folks, so it will be a bit harder to find things to be thankful for.

But we here in the United States still have it much better than lots of the other world, even poor folks. One of my favorite saying is “everything is relative”.

Which means we all tend to see things relative to where we are, who we are and what has happened in our lives. Because of that we often see our good luck or bad luck only in relation to how our life is right now.

Fall and winter is the perfect time for cheap all inclusive holidays

Great low price holiday travel deals

Summer is now over, but some of the best travel deals and vacation packages are to be had during the fall and winter months. There are many advantages of choosing a vacation during this time.

Many people may not know it, but fall and winter months are a great time for cheap all inclusive holidays at many popular vacation destinations around the word. Prices can be lower and crowds are not as large, making your vacation more enjoyable.

Many popular vacation spots like Florida get the biggest crowds during the summer. But it’s also the hottest time of year, and many are not use to the heat and humidity. Plus prices are the highest of the year.

During the fall and winter months the temperatures are better at tropical places like Florida and the Caribbean, with the humidity lower and more comfortable. Not to mention it’s no longer hurricane season!

Plus places like Disney World hold great special Christmas holiday events, shows and fireworks you can’t see at any other time of the year. It’s a great time to find cheap holiday deals from travel sites.

Hotel and car prices are normally lower during the off peak season of fall and winter, except for a few days around the major holidays. Also the crowds can be a lot thinner, making wait times for rides and attractions a lot shorter and enjoyable.

So consider a fall or winter vacation for cheap holidays at the major tourist destinations. You’ll find great deals and wonderful weather to get away from it all and beat the wintertime blues! :)


Pet friendly Flagler beach resort, Si Como No Inn!

I recently had the pleasure of staying at a cool pet friendly beach resort with some friends, so I thought I’d tell you a bit about it. More and more people are traveling with their pets these days and good pet friendly resorts can be hard to come by.

This resort is called Si Como No Inn and it’s located right on the beach at Flagler beach. That is north of Daytona beach and just south of Palm Coast. Like I said it sits right on the beach, you only have to cross Oceanshore Blvd. and go down the steps to the beach!

Not only is Si Como No Inn resort very pet friendly but so is the beach right across from it. As you can see in the video I made above that stretch of beach is beautiful with not that many people around. So it’s perfect for pets, just please clean up after them. 😉

Orlando Lake Eola fountain show and fireworks on 4th of July

 

I hope everyone had a great 4th of July weekend here in Orlando! I went to Orlando’s Lake Eola park and saw the fireworks there. I also wanted to see how the lake Eola fountain looks now and the show it put on.

As most know, the Orlando lake Eola water fountain was struck by lighting a long time ago and got knocked out. After lots of decisions from the city a private contractor was hired to fix it.

It was fixed just in time for the 4th of July and made it’s big debut that night. I must say they did a good job. It has many different lights that change colors as well as several different water jets.
