THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE MOVING TO ORLANDO

20 THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE MOVING TO ORLANDO Most people hear the name Orlando and immediately think MICKEY MOUSE! While we Orlandoans (that’s what we are called) are proud to be home to the the most famous mouse, we are actually a lot more than Disney. Locals find nature and culture, and learn to pronounce things their own way. The name of the small city of Ocoee, for example, is pronounced oh-COE-ee for newcomers and oh-COY for natives.

Liberty Belle Lookout – Disney Magic Kingdom Testing Liberty Square Riverboat Scavenger Hunt

My son, Chris, and I enjoy taking a ride back to the past aboard the Liberty Belle, the Liberty Square Riverboat. Liberty Belle is a working reproduction of the historic vessels that ferried people up and down the mighty Mississippi. This actual working steam engine converts the water from the Rivers of America into steam that in turn powers the large paddle that propels the boat. We were pleasantly surprised this past week when we boarded Liberty Belle and learned about the

It was just another magical day at The Magic Kingdom for me and my wife. We had gotte
