Where do Floridians go on vacation? According to the AAA Consumer Pulse Survey, conducted online among residents living in Florida Oct. 10–30, 2017, a

surprising number of them spend their leisure time right in their own state, enjoying the same theme parks the rest of us flock to. If you’re a resident, local theme parks bend over backwards to lure you in with special deals and deep discounts just for in-state families. Here are three of the best deals for early 2018, available through AAA to its members. The good news is even if you miss these specific deals, the theme parks themselves also offer their own special rates for Florida residents.
