A recent survey revealed that 66 percent of Americans are not planning to travel on vacation this year.

So, for many of them, that might mean a staycation in their own hometown.

The personal finance website WalletHub.com just released its report on the best and worst U.S. cities for staycations.

At the top of the best list is Orlando. It’s not just for theme parks, but because Orlando has the most ice cream and frozen yogurt shops per 100,000 residents.

Also high on the list are Las Vegas and Honolulu.

How about the worst cities for staycations? New York and Los Angeles—mostly due to cost of living in these cities.

But if you want to get pretty in Fort Wayne, Indiana, you’re in luck.

The city has the lowest beauty salon costs, nearly three times less expensive than New York.

If you’re staying home in Buffalo, New York, go bowling.

It has the lowest bowling costs in America, for what it’s worth.
