World's Largest McDonald's ~ Orlando, Florida

Orlando, Florida is home to the largest McDonald's in the world. This McDonald's has it all and then some. When you first walk in, your eyes don't know where to look first. They have a huge fish tank in the lobby, a cafe area where they make pasta and pizzas...the pizza was very good. There is also a hand dipped ice cream area and bakery. Then you go upstairs, yes there is an elevator, and there is another dining area, an arcade, and a huge play area. If you are ever in the Orlando area, this is a must see. This place was beautiful!

Florida Vacation

The most recent vacation we took was to Florida. We started our vacation in Orlando and ended it on Jacksonville Beach.  We went to Disney World Magic Kingdom, The Crayola Experience, several mini golf places, out to eat and much more. Booking.com and Groupon saved the day. Groupon saved us anywhere from 50%-70% off the regular price. The savings allowed us to add additional things in to our trip.

Walt Disney World Magic Kingdom

When we went to Magic Kingdom, I highly recommend adding the Lightning Pass. Yes, it's extra money, but the with time that it saves you, you can add more rides/memories. The Disney app is a must as well. I also recommend buying Disney gift cards for the children on the trip.  This gives them a set amount that they can spend there and it makes them feel "grown up" with their own "Disney credit card".  The best place I found to buy the gift was thru Sam's Club. Make sure to check online, sometimes you can luck out and find discounted cards for sale on EBay, Gift Card Granny or Facebook marketplace.
