Ok, here's the deal. We love our tourists. And we REALLY love your money! So, just like most places, we charge a premium in the areas where the most tourists are.
Gas is about $.20 per gallon higher near the attractions (Disney, Universal, I-Drive, etc.) Grocery stores charge significantly more in the attractions areas than in other parts of town.
Unfortunately, public transportion in Orlando isn't very good, so most people rent cars. The good news is that can save you on cab fares and enable you to drive just a couple of miles out of your way to get cheaper gas, groceries, and find less expensive restaurants.
An example of the savings? I stopped into the Winn Dixie near the I-4 and Lake Buena Vista intersection. The same bottle of wine that I paid $8 for in my neighborhood was $22! Leave a Comment

Be aware of these little booths they seem to have operating everywhere, buy your theme park tickets before you go, seriously it is cheaper on line, in most cases if you print off prices online your local travel agents will match them anyway. These booths try and convince you that they have tickets (Used) that they will sell you for half the price as long as you return to them to resell them. Why risk this as the parks are now very vigilante with regards security this has changed anyway. You now have to do fingerprinting on entering the parks, so avoid these booths.
Don't bother just avoid.

When looking for a hotel to stay in the Orlando area, try and find one away from the International Drive area, on an evening it can get rather noisy, and the prices can be higher than other parts of Orlando.
Wet and Wild, but take care in the hot weather the ground can burn your feet when going to and from the water so get a cheap pair of Flip Flops Leave a Comment

Not actually a tourist trap, but be prepared to spend a LOT of money in Orlando.
None, just be sure your balance is down on your credit cards and cut loose!! Leave a Comment

Beware of the prices at shops and restaurants. The price you see isn't always the price you will pay because you may have to add sales tax which is about 6% (2000), I don't know why they don't just add it to the price in the first place, it would be alot easier for everyone instead of standing there trying to work out the prices.
Make sure you have a little extra money to allow for the tax.
