She’s currently researching and writing a guide to Florida for families. 01_596608 ffirs.qxd 10/21/05 8:33 PM Page v 01_596608 ffirs.qxd 10/21/05 8:33 PM Page vi Author’s Acknowledgments Thanks to Amy Voss at the Orlando/Orange County Convention & Visitors Bureau; Gary Buchanan at Walt Disney World; Susan Storey at Universal Orlando; and Jacquelyn Wilson at SeaWorld.
