Linda

Splash Down in Orlando

My family, god love them, are a bit strange. With an opportunity to spend
several days at Walt Disney World, they decide to only visit water parks in
Orlando Since the July Florida Weather is not for the faint of heart, what
the heck! I will keep this trip itinerary simple, short and sweet. And throw
in a money saving tip at the end of the story.

Money Saving Tip: Many attractions and hotels will give you a discount up to
50% off their regular price for simply presenting "your" business card from
a Travel Agency. Make up the name of an agency and use your real name as the
travel agent and print them up at home. ID such as a drivers license may be
required to show that you are the same person as the name on the travel
agency business card. I have been getting into both Busch Garden Parks at half
price for years.
