What to do while in Orlando
What to do in Orlando
Orlando is one of the most-traveled-to places in the United States. Between Six Flags, Disney World, Universal Orlando and Icon Park, visitors can enjoy a different theme park each day for a week. The distance between these locations is why visitors need to rent a car in Orlando. If you are not a fan of theme parks and want to do some shopping, visit the Orlando International Premium Outlets and shop ’til you drop.

You should also know you must have your headlights on if using windshield wipers, and seat belts are required of all drivers and passengers.
