Orlando

Orlando without the sticker shock.

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.

Our top picks in Orlando

01

Walt Disney World

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

Universal Orlando & Epic Universe

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

SeaWorld & Aquatica

The value play. Far cheaper than the big two, rarely crowded midweek, and a great low-key day between park marathons.

04

Vacation home rentals in Kissimmee

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

Disney value & moderate resorts

Worth the premium mainly for early park entry and transportation. We'll compare on-site versus off-site for your exact dates.

06

Kennedy Space Center

An hour east and a genuinely great day. The best non-park attraction in central Florida for kids eight and up.

07

Clearwater & the Gulf beaches

Ninety minutes west. Two beach days at the end of a park week is the single best way to keep everyone sane.

08

Winter Park & Orlando dining

There's a real city here — brick streets, boat tours, and restaurants at a third of in-park prices.
