Visiting unfamiliar places can make for hard planning. What activities are actually worth doing and which ones are tourist traps? Which areas of town are safe and which ones are sketchy? What hotels offer deals to attract tourists and which ones also double as pay-by-the-hour?
As we traveled to Orlando recently for a doctor visit, we were faced with these questions. Not wanting to do the theme park adventure, but still wanting to experience something fun as a family, I searched the internet. So many places seemed inviting and fun, but could descriptions, ads and pictures be trusted? Were the people who rated these activities being truthful or were they bribed? Were they of the same mindset as me, or were they frivolous with their money?
