. If you're a first timer, I'd recommend visiting them all, but if you've been to Orlando multiple times, you'll probably want to just visit your favourites. The amount of theme parks you want to visit will determine how long you should stay in Orlando for.
2. How many nights do you want to be away?
The most popular thing to do is visit for 2 weeks, but sometimes people opt for shorter or longer than that. Personally, I like visiting Florida for 10 days. Over the last few years I've spent the entire 10 days at Disney, visiting the 4 theme parks but not the water parks, so I haven't needed a full two weeks there. In 2011 I also experienced a 1 week trip and although it was crazy busy, it was a lot of fun and not as knackering as a longer trip!
3. Do you want to stay off site in hotels or villas that are a short drive from the theme parks or would you prefer to stay on site at Walt Disney World or Universal?
Staying off site gives you some time away from the theme parks and more of an authentic American holiday experience. It's usually the cheaper option and you're spoilt for choice with accommodation around the Orlando area.
If you choose to stay on site in any of the official theme park hotels, it is a lot more expensive, but you have access to dining offers, free transportation and sometimes additional theme park hours. These hotels are extremely special and often themed, but you have to be prepared that if you stay on site at Disney or Universal, you will be eating, sleeping and dreaming about theme parks for the duration of your stay!
4. Do you like to go to themed restaurants or are you happy to have quick meals at diners?
If you like themed restaurants, it's a good idea to stay on site at Walt Disney World. Every year there is a free dining offer which means you can dine at Disney restaurants for 'free' (minus the cost of gratuities) if you're staying at qualifying Walt Disney World hotels. With the current GBP to USD exchange rate being so poor, the Disney Dining Plan can be a great way to save money on food and drink at Walt Disney World.
Alternatively, there are classic American diners and chain restaurants in Orlando such as Denny's, IHOP and Red Lobster, which all provide you with quick and hearty meals. These restaurants are all more affordable than the ones at the theme parks and often they're much more relaxed. The only downside to places like this is that you will probably need to hire a car to be in easy access of them, as most of them are located on International Drive and the popular 192 road.
5. Is a car necessary for your trip?
Orlando is becoming more and more accessible to guests without cars. You can get shuttle transfers from the airport to your resorts, Uber operates in the area and lots of resorts offer free transportation to some of the theme parks. If you want to be able to go to diners, malls and supermarkets, having a car is very helpful, but if you're going to be eating out for most of your trip and staying only at Walt Disney World or Universal, a car is not necessary. Hire cars are not cheap so definitely consider whether on not it is a cost-effective option for your family.
Hopefully this post has been helpful, whether you're a first time visitor or an Orlando addict. Holidays in Orlando take a lot of planning and consideration, but they are so much fun for all ages!
Have you been to Orlando before? Do you usually visit all of the theme parks in the area?

I'm glad to hear it's becoming more accessible without a car, as the idea of driving in America terrifies me!Alyssa Milano Net Worth. Another way to learn about Alyssa Milano Net Worth.

I have been wanting to have a wall removed in my kitchen for a while, I came on a Thumbtack and found Steve from Elite Property Maintenance, the best decision I could’ve made. Steve did everything he promised and more. His price was great and work was excellent. I will be using him again and passing his name on to my friends.
Brad is very professional and easy to work with. I would gladly use his architectural design services again.
Hired them via recommendation of a friend, and they did the job exactly as I imagine it. They were polite and able to get the job done in the time frame they gave me (which always seems to be an issue with most contractors in my opinion). Planning on having them come back and check out my downstairs bathroom to have it looking as good as upstairs does now!
I love how both the carport & recycling enclosures add to the look of the building.
Neil completed architectural plans for our new home in a timely and efficient manner. His price was very reasonable and he was very flexible with his time. The entire process went smoothly. He offered great suggestions and ways we could save money. Overall, our experience with Neil was really good and we would recommend him to others.
When I am ready to build I will contact him for service at that time.

I recommend him for his excellent work, very professional in dealing with the city and code requirements. He provided all construction documents for our house addition; even the contractor liked his work! He provided great services! His price was reasonable too.
Launching these annual ‘report cards’, Parliamentary Secretary for Sustainability and Urban Water, Senator Don Farrell, said they provide important benchmarks that allow consumers to make informed judgments about whether their water needs are being efficiently and sustainably met.
“Governments, industries and the community have a vital interest in obtaining good quality information on the performance of the organisations that deliver our water,” Senator Farrell said.
As the urban water utilities report demonstrates, rising storage levels have allowed most utilities to ease restrictions or move to permanent water conservation measures, leading to slightly increased household consumption in 2009-10.
Water Services Association of Australia Acting Executive Director Adam Lovell said the urban report shows that typical residential bills increased on average in 2009-10.
“This reflects increased water consumption, as well as the industry’s significant capital investments and rising operating costs,” he said.
In regional Australia, the rural water service report has found that water infrastructure is being transformed, largely through the progressive piping of open channel carrier networks, which is improving water delivery efficiency and reducing water losses.
“Many of these investments in infrastructure renewal are being supported by the Australian Government as part of the $5.8 billion Sustainable Rural Infrastructure program under our $12.9 billion Water for the Future plan”, Senator Farrell said.
The National Performance Report 2009–2010: urban water utilities report includes information from 79 utilities that supply approximately 18.3 million Australians with their urban water. This report was prepared by the National Water Commission, all state and territory governments, and the Water Services Association of Australia.
The National Performance Report 2009–10: rural water service providers, which was prepared by the Commission in conjunction with state governments, covers thirteen rural water service providers representing 90% of Australia’s rural network water supply.

username_0: This PR documents the zone.js changes in 0.8.27 that cause change detection to be run frequently when initializing components.

I also fixed the headings for other topics in this file because they were not showing up in the page's table of contents

This PR should _not_ be merged until https://github.com/ionic-team/starters/pull/743 is merged.

I'm not 100% certain where this documentation should go, but it seems like we've been adding errors _and_ development quirks to `Runtime Errors` -- maybe we want to rename this page?

<issue_comment>username_3: @username_0 - think we can ship this? :)The one thing Paulinho offered in this match rather than Mason was a man in the center of the midfield who could win a ball in the air. With Bentaleb, Mason, Eriksen (Lamela &amp; Chadli), we have no dominant force. 

I'm not saying we need a Fellaini like Man u, Matic like Chelsea, Toure in Man City, but thankfully Paulinho gives a nice alternative to have better aireal control of the mid than Mason
