Credit: Kathryn Page. By Amy Drew Thompson Now that Thanksgiving is over and the holidays are in full swing, Orlando experiences low season — the cool slice of fall through mid-December, then again in January and February. Park lines are shorter, humidity’s a distant memory, and cheap Orlando hotels abound. Stretch your vacation dollar further with some of these budget-friendly options: Disney’s Fort Wilderness Campground & Resort The resort’s nightly Chip ‘n Dale’s Campfire Sing-a-Long is free and open to everyone. Fires are lit at 6:30 pm and marshmallow kits are available for purchase, but you’re welcome to economize and BYO. Character-led songs begin at 7:00 culminating in a classic Disney film under the stars, and December’s shows include a host of holiday selections. Where to stay: Seralago Hotel & Suites, walkable to Old Town Amusement Park, boasts in-room Xbox gaming systems, and offers complimentary shuttles to Disney, Universal and outlet shopping. Light Up UCF! This University of Central Florida attraction is one of Orlando’s most family-friendly and affordable. Running several times a night, find free elements — including parking, an outdoor holiday film festival, and the scintillating 75,000-light Holiday Light Show — carefully synchronized with festive holiday music. Also on tap: skating to DJ-spun tunes, a 100-foot ice slide, pictures with Santa, a massive Ferris wheel and more. Where to stay: La Quinta Inn Orlando Universal Studios’ spacious rooms are within walking distance of Universal CityWalk. Enjoy the free breakfast before hitting the attractions or the pool.
