The K-List Orlando, FL - Off-the-Beaten Track Fun for the Whole Family

This is the K-List for Orlando, Florida. (The K is for Kara.) 

The list includes some off-the-beaten-path suggestions for restaurants, attractions, shopping, and more. Some of these are right around the corner, 10 minutes away, others are 15 minutes out, and still others are 30 minutes away. Most are pretty affordable options, and there is a smattering of the quirky, very Florida feel attractions. Everyone knows and can find information on Disney. Many ensure a unique experience for the whole family. Enjoy, bon appetite, and bon voyage. Adventure awaits.
