By Leave a Comment

If you’re headed to Disney World, sometimes dining at Disney World can get busy – reservations could be gone right when they open at 6 AM! Or if you have a big group, then things can get pricey fast.

Cozze E Vongole

As a former Disney Cast Member, I know that navigating dining off property can be just as overwhelming. There are so many great options!

NEWS: Orlando Ranked One of the LEAST Affordable Cities in the U.S.

By 1 Comment

Have you ever sat down and asked yourself what life would be like living next to Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, and EPCOT?

EPCOT

Living in Orlando really does have its perks, especially if you’re an avid theme park lover. The city is home to Universal Orlando, Disney World, SeaWorld, water parks, and several other big theme parks. Moving to central Florida is very popular for this reason, alongside other factors as well (like the weather), but Orlando is the pull in Florida because of the parks.

NEWS: It Just Got Easier to Park in Orlando

By Leave a Comment

Our favorite city (well, excluding CityWalk) just got a whole lot more convenient. Last year, downtown Orlando announced a free parking initiative that’s continuing into the new year. The Park DTO program was first launched during the COVID-19 pandemic to encourage traffic and consumers downtown. The popular freebie was relaunched in 2023 and has helped Orlando’s recent growth with over 30 new local businesses opening downtown last year.

Lake Eola

Drivers can get free two-hour parking at all parking spaces downtown – both metered and non-metered – 24 hours a day, every day of the week. The move is to encourage both visitors and locals to support local businesses, make downtown more accessible, and explore everything the city has to offer.
