When you think of Orlando what do you think of? I know so many people that just see those Disney lights and think that’s all Orlando has to offer. It’s just not true, there’s so much more out there and Gatorland is just one of those – known as The Alligator Capital of the World! […]
Are you jetting off somewhere soon and wondering what to do about parking your car whilst you are away? I’d say from experience whatever you do DON’T just turn up, book your parking in advance.
