Today we went shopping for clothes. We went to the Florida mall after driving in circles for a while. We are still learning the back ways! The Florida mall was busy because it was a rainy day. Because of the nature of the Orlando Tourist industry, this time of year being off season, we think about rainy days as busy days for shopping and indoor activities. At a movie theater, one of the busiest times of year is a rainy day. A succession of a few rainy days in a row drives big business to restaurants, movie theaters, malls and the like. When hurricanes hit in this remote area it leads to everyone cancelling their vacations. I can't say I blame them, people wait the entire year to take their vacation. It's hard to coordinate work for 2 or more people, school for a few kids and travel accommodations as well as a place to stay. Timeshare makes that easy, but it's still a dilemma if weather is involved. So I'm writing to discuss how to make a great vacation if there is rain all week long! A typical week consists of 5 days of actual vacation. 1 day of prep on arrival, 1 day of exit prep. In that 5 days 1 day is usually destination, such as Sarasota, Naples, Florence, Miami, Tampa, something of that sort. So for the 4 days that you actually stay, what do you do to enjoy the days? For starters if it's raining, the movie theaters only buy you a night. Otherwise, there's wine bars, coffee houses, restaurants galore, dinner shows, casino cruises, and more. Not too mention, the indoor Disney attractions! If you do them all you'll have plenty of things to entertain you. We went to the prime outlets today and they were great as well. I recommend visiting and window shopping. If you use your WHO savings card, they give you a discount pack that can help get you discounts. Check it out.
