Without a doubt, a family holiday to Disney World and Orlando, Florida, is on many travel bucket-lists! Multiple theme parks offer a true fantastical experience for guests of all ages, and with added perks like on-site accommodation, free park transfers, park passes and certain included meals, you’re set to make life-long family memories! We break down your top Disney and Orlando Holiday FAQs.
Our top favourite resorts and theme parks to visit in and around Orlando including the following:
Pre-pandemic there were these amazing things called Fast Passes at most of the Theme Parks. Each guest had 2 rides that they could use these passes on per day, and all they needed to do was to download the park app and they would be able to link their park tickets and hotel reservations on this app and reserve their fast passes for the most congested rides for each day.
Unfortunately, Covid hit, and the theme parks had to revise the way they have been operating over the course of decades. The below adjusted operations have been put into place until further notice.
You get two types of tickets for Disney World:
All the Disney Parks are magical and there will always be at least one thing for each age group to enjoy, but here are the parks that would be best suited for the different age groups:
Orlando has so much to see and so much to offer, that you would need a minimum of at least 10 days to be able to get through all the incredible sights. If you take Disney World alone, you need at least 1 full day per park, and in some instances, you won’t even be able to complete the map of the park in one day. Disney has 4 major parks and then in summertime, there are two additional waterparks as well. So, you would need at least 6 full days in Disney World and then 4 available days for Universal Studios, Lego Land and all the other attractions Orlando has to offer.
The 4 main parks, Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom are open all year round. The water parks at Walt Disney World are open year-round, with each of the two closing for refurbishment for a couple of months at separate times. The good news is that all the water at both parks is heated to a very toasty temperature, making a wintertime visit quite pleasant.
The best time to visit Orlando is from March to May. That is the time of year you’ll find the most pleasant weather (high teens to high twenties most days) and agreeable prices on travel and lodging (excluding holiday weekends and school recesses).
I would suggest that you start planning your trip to Orlando at least 10 months in advance, to make sure that you get great flight deals and the best value on your accommodation choices.
Both options have value, so it is up to you and your family as to what option is going to be more convenient and which option will align with your budget the best.
Perks of staying on Walt Disney World property in one of their resorts:
Perks of staying outside of Walt Disney World property with another hotel group:
If you are staying in the Walt Disney World hotels, I would say that you will not need a car, because you will have transport that will take you to all the Disney parks, and from the Disney parks, you will be able to visit the various resorts in Disney as well. So, you won’t even have to eat your meals at your specific resort every day. You can easily visit the various restaurants at the other resorts.
If you are not staying at one of the Walt Disney World hotels and your hotel does not offer transport to the Disney parks, then a car would work out a lot more cost effective than taking a taxi everywhere, which can become rather pricey.
