Destination of the Week: Orlando

Florida's Most Popular Playground

Right around the corner -- those months between summer vacation and the winter holidays -- is the best time to score a deal to sunny Orlando.

As summer crowds recede and hotels cut rates by 50%, some of the world's most famous theme parks, golf courses and shopping beckon. Fall fare sales from across the country to Orlando make it an affordable weekend or week-long getaway, too.

Discover (or re-discover) why Orlando continues topping "best of" travel lists, especially for families. The home of Mickey Mouse, Shamu -- and Orlando's newest theme park icon, Harry Potter -- inspires the fantasy and free spirit in everyone, regardless of age.
