Orlando is the most over-priced trip in America if you book it wrong and one of the best values if you book it right. The difference comes down to when you go, where you sleep, and how you buy tickets — and that's exactly where an advisor earns their keep.
Best For
Theme parks · Kids 4–14 · Multi-gen groups
Best Time to Go
Late Jan – Feb, late Apr – May, and Sep (lowest crowds and prices)
Typical Budget
$4,500 – $8,000 per family / week, tickets included
01
Four parks. Most families need four to five days minimum. Multi-day tickets drop sharply in per-day cost, so a longer stay is cheaper per day than a short one.
02
Better for teens and thrill-seekers, and easier to cover in two to three days. Staying on-site can include front-of-line access at some hotels.
03
The value play. Far cheaper than the big two, rarely crowded midweek, and a great low-key day between park marathons.
04
A four-bedroom home with a private pool often costs less than two hotel rooms — and a kitchen cuts your food bill in half.
05
Worth the premium mainly for early park entry and transportation. We'll compare on-site versus off-site for your exact dates.
06
An hour east and a genuinely great day. The best non-park attraction in central Florida for kids eight and up.
07
Ninety minutes west. Two beach days at the end of a park week is the single best way to keep everyone sane.
08
There's a real city here — brick streets, boat tours, and restaurants at a third of in-park prices.
