How to get the most out of your Orlando vacation.

Are you thinking about heading to Orlando, Florida for your next holiday or summer trip? If so, then you need to make sure that you are planning it the right way. Here are some smart choices that can help guarantee you have a great time in the best part of the sunshine state.
Book At The Right Time
The main reason to head to Orlando, regardless of your age, is undoubtably the theme parks. Orlando is home to three main theme parks including Disney World, Universal Studios and LegoLand. Of course, it’s not totally accurate to describe these as theme parks because they each have different parks to visit. Disney alone has a total of four theme parks to visit and two water parks. Universal has two and a water park but will soon have three. However, despite the massive number of places to visit, that’s not going to save you from avoiding the crowds if you book at the wrong time. To avoid this, we recommend traveling at the beginning of the year or just before the summer season truly kicks off. October is another smart choice. You just need to be aware that you might hit some nasty weather conditions.
Get Your Fast Passes
Next, you should make sure that you are taking the time to get your fast passes arranged sooner rather than later. Ensuring that you get your fast passes will allow you to avoid the queues completely. If you order these online, you can even avoid the queues that most people run into at the gate.
Consider Camping
Next, you should consider avoiding the hotels completely and camping instead. You might assume that camping will take you away from the action, but this doesn’t have to be the case. Indeed, it’s possible to head to Florida and stay on a Disney World campsite. If you do this, then you’ll be a stone throw or a short boat ride away from the Magic Kingdom. This is by far one of the most popular parks that Disney has to offer so it’s a great option if you do want to avoid the hustle and bustle of the typical hotel. You can even look into RV hire in the US to get all the home comforts you would expect.
Take Breaks
Finally, you should think about making sure that you plan breaks as part of your holiday. This is important because it will avoid a situation where you are struggling with the heat if you are not used to Florida as well as the energy drain that can occur walking around different places. People often underestimate how much walking is required to visit a Florida theme park. You’ll definitely get your steps in each day. On your off days you can relax at the pool or hit the shopping complexes nearby.
We hope this helps you understand some of the key steps that you should take to ensure that you have a great time when you’re on holiday in Orlando. By taking this advice, you can avoid the queues, dodge the stress and focus on some fantastic family fun.
