Smaller Attractions Need You!
2008-01-08 02:25:00 The demise of Dixie Stampede is a precursor to the troubles that the second tier attractions are going to have to go through this year. With travel costs rising tourists have less to spend on arrival in Central Florida and their stays are becoming shorter. In addition the major attractions are getting more and more skillful at 'capturing' their guests and ensuring they spend their hard earned cash on site.So when you visit Orlando take some time to visit the smaller attractions of which there are many.
