Here are some tips for when you visit Orlando.
To dial a local number, use all 10 digits, just like in a big city.
The local area codes are 407 (most common) and 321 (newer).
Winter Park, Kissimmee, Lake Mary, and Maitland are nearby.
Disneyworld and Universal Studios = Southwest corner of Orlando.
528, 417, and 408 are toll roads. I-4 is not, but it’s usually slower.
The 528 is called the Beeline Expressway, and goes I-4 – airport.
The 417 is called the Greeneway, and connects to 528 in the south.
The Greenway also connects to Disneyworld, and I-4 in 2 places.
The 408 is usually called the East-West Expressway.
The 408 connects I-4, Downtown, and U. of Central Florida (UCF).
Toll roads usually have higher speed limits.
Try to stay off I-4 between 7-9 AM and 4-6 PM. Trust me on this.
You may need a jacket, but never snow boots.
Orlando is a familiy-friendly destination. There is no casino.
