You aren't allowed to camp at Wal-Marts around
Orlando, but the camping restrictions are made by the
local municipalities, not by Wal-Mart. I'm sure the
local theme park and hotel people have something to do
with those policies.

Once you get away from Orlando, you will see RV's in
Walmart lots. Make sure you ask the store manager
before spending the night, or you might get a rude
awakening at two in the morning.

Good luck,
