Laura Lea Miller is a freelance writer based in Orchard Park, New York. This snowbird has gladly flown south to warmer weather to spend countless hours scouring Central Florida’s many theme parks, hotels, resorts, and restaurants over the years—both with and without her five children. A family-travel expert who focuses on Central Florida, Laura continues to religiously make an annual pilgrimage (or four or five) to the Land the Mouse Built, to ensure she can check out all of Orlando’s latest and greatest offerings and provide you with the most up-to-date insider information. She’s written several other Orlando and Florida books, including Frommer’s Walt Disney World & Orlando and Walt Disney World & Orlando For Dummies, and has contributed to Frommer’s Florida.
