Fun in Orlando, Florida
I like to stay on International Drive as I love the access to the shops and restaurants along this long thoroughfare but a local home / villa with your own pool, staying in Disney itself or some of the affordable resorts that have popped in Universal are fantastic options too.
The I-Ride trolley is so handy and with regular shuttles, we barely took a taxi or needed car hire (although this very much depends on where you’re staying!).
For most a first time visit it’s difficult to fit in all that Orlando has to offer and with new parks and rides opening all the time there is always somewhere new to explore. I recommend 1 day = 1 park to really make the most of your time and just remember that running around a theme park all day is tiring so plan for some days for relaxing, too! Being a bit of a former HP obsessive and a Star Wars fan, Orlando is my jam - it's my own self-contained fantasyland.
One of the most common questions I get is what park tickets to buy? There are multiple options so I recommend having a rough idea of what parks you want to visit and I can help you choose the most appropriate ticket for you.
Orlando is so easy to add on to a USA itinerary or maybe you'd like to experience a Caribbean cruise or a road trip in Florida? Drop me a line and let's get planning...
