Hello, I'm Carrie and my family and I love Orlando! From my first visit at 3 years old til now experiencing it as a parent and through my kids eyes, we just can't get enough! We try to see something new with every visit, stay in different family hotels and try seasonal experiences at different times of the year so we can give you a rounded and balanced opinion and useful insight. This site aims to help other visitors plan and see all the many amazing things there are to do in Orlando with kids and big kids of all ages! Whether you are visiting from nearby, a local looking to entertain visitors or visiting from abroad, I hope this site is useful and helps make your trip that little bit easier!
