Choose one of six entrees and pick one of four Andretti experiences like the Dark Ride Motion Theater and pay just $17.95 per person for both! This deal is available Monday through Thursday open to close, but you&#8217;ll have to get there and order by 6 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. This is high on everyone&#8217;s list of cheap things to do in Orlando today! Rather try the go-karts? Andretti Karting offers 1\/2 off all full-priced races from open to close every Tuesday. If bowling is more your jam, Rush Hour is a great deal at only $5 per hour per person including shoe rental.

I had a blast learning about the history and techniques of wax figures and was blown away at how real&nbsp;they look.<\/p>\n<p>To be honest, some of them were so lifelike it was creepy!

The pastry table was loaded with different varieties of croissants and danishes. Order a Chef Creation (Mickey Pancakes, anyone?) or one of the delicious egg dishes, or simply choose the Continental Breakfast Buffet.
