Planning a Thanksgiving getaway in Orlando

With 51 million people traveling out of town nationwide, the days before and after Thanksgiving will be a headache for travelers. To make the situation even more frustrating, Orlando is projected to be the busiest travel spot in the country for Thanksgiving.
