Variations on a theme
Article Abstract:
It is possible to arrange a family visit to Florida's theme parks in such a way as to limit costs and to avoid the busiest times of year. It is worth considering flying to a destination outside Florida, thus cutting travel costs. It is then quite quick and easy to travel by hire car to Florida. There are many hotels suitable for children in Florida, and these can be easily booked by phone a long time in advance. If care is taken to avoid the busiest times of year, it will not be necessary to queue for very long for the theme park rides.

A number of related sites have been created, including one selling T-shirts, mouse-mats and mugs featuring his photograph.
