When a national holiday rolls around, friends and family always ask, so what are your plans for the holiday. July 13 is a special holiday that happens to be near and dear to a lot of people.
National Fry Day falls on July 13, and it should not to be confused with Friday. But what does this holiday mean? It means people go all out on getting in some yummy, delicious french fries. When restaurant servers ask, "would you like fries with that?" the answer should be "yes."
When this illustrious holiday only comes around once a year, you must be picky about where you spend the holiday. Are you really going to get every fry known to man? Where else can you go to one place and get so many different types of fries in one outing. In Orlando, Fla., you have two good choices. You can head to Disney World (DIS) or you can make your way to Comcast's (CMCSA) Universal Studios Orlando.
