Orlando has become a hot spot for tourism with its popular attractions like Walt Disney World and Universal Studios. While some things in Orlando are free, other attractions cost big money and can punch a hole in your vacation budget. With attraction options like dinner shows, helicopter rides, museums and theme parks, the competition for your tourism dollar is stiff. If you know where to look, however, you can save bundles of money on your next Orlando getaway.
