We're going to be at DisneyWorld (yeah, I know, it ain't frugal) and I
wanna catch a few markets. Which are the best in the area to hit?

Why? I guess everyone's different, but why spend time seeing a flea
market on vacation when you can do that at home? I have been to lots of
flea markets. The all have the same junk.
Oh well. To each his own. You might try posting your inquiry on the
rec.arts.disney.parks newsgroup if no one on misc.consumers.frugal
can make a recommendation.

The world's largest flea market is in south Florida, in Ft Lauderdale
on Sunrise Boulevard. They have a free circus, a huge number of
regular vendors, a produce section, and a good amount of transient
folks selling household items. Ft Lauderdale also has one of the best
and most accessible ocean beaches sitting right of A1A. I've been to
the theme parks in Orlando, and they aren't my cupa tea.
There was one fellow who did a time/motion study of Disneyworld to
avoid the long lines. His technique was so good that the local paper
wrote it up a couple of years back. I couldn't find that article, but
I did find something similar.

Going to these parks is work, and to get the most from the incredibly
high ticket costs, you have to plan ahead and not just arrive and
wander.

Ok, that's like a 5 hour drive away. I was hoping someone knew the
Kissimee area here.

I would look in the local papers online if available.... weekdays and
weekends.....
GOOGLE Kissimmee "Orlando FL newspapers and see what is going on down
there in either the stories or the ads....
