Disney Tips When Visiting Orlando Florida

You’ve decided with the family that it’s finally time to go on that long awaited, return trip to Disney.  It’s been more than a few years since your first go-round, when your little gal was still in love with bright, princess pink nailpolish and fairy dust.  Times have changed and so do the parks and travel options each and every year.  With all of the newly built resorts, added entertainment venues, rides and dinner shows, you may find it difficult to fit everything into your tight schedule, let alone find the time to RELAX on your vacation.

That’s where Discount Vacation Rentals Online comes in, to give you some top tips when visiting the Walt Disney World Orlando area, located in southwest Orlando-Kissimmee area of Central Florida.  Not only do we hope to save you money on your accommodation, by helping you decide on one of our Value Vacation Homes, but we also like to help you save time when it comes to planning this vacation of a lifetime–and with that we offer the following suggestions and advice when planning your trip to Disney.

When should you go? The best time to visit the theme parks is when the crowd is low and the weather here in Florida is warm and sunny (no one wants to scorch under the sun!).  We suggest traveling in early January through mid February.  At this time you’ve skipped the high season following Christmas break and the weather is moderate.  If you have younger kids, we realize school schedules may be an issue so you may also consider late April through mid May, or late August through the end of October.  These months are generally considered low season which will help save you money on your accommodation as well as save you time on the lines for each attraction within the parks.

Where should you stay? You have a couple of options that suit any budget.  If you can afford to stay onsite, then look into the Disney Resorts featured around the theme parks.  They offer unique opportunities to guests wanting to get the most out of their Disney vacation.  But if you’re seeking a more roomy and affordable option for your family, then we insist on renting a great Florida vacation home.  You can stay anywhere from 4-15 miles from Disney’s main gate which helps keep travel time to a minimum and you have plenty of room and privacy for each member of your family or traveling party members.  DVRO will be happy to help you find a fabulous vacation rental home near Disney World Orlando!

What tickets should you purchase? With countless options, there’s so many tickets to consider for your trip to Disney.  You can choose from a limited one-day, one-park ticket or you may choose to go with the unlimited option of the Annual Pass (which gets you into any park, an unlimited number of times and if you’re planning to return to Disney within the year after your visit, this may be the better option for you as well).  Discount Vacation Rentals Online can provide you with the contact information in order to purchase your tickets online through a local vendor with fantastic discounts on your Disney tickets and other attraction passes.

This is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to planning your trip to Disney but you’ll want to be aware of the basics primarily.  To recap, consider the options on the best time for your family to travel and decide which may work within the low season here in Orlando.  Then it’s time to decide on your suitable accommodation and lastly, now we look into how much Disney is affordable and most importantly…DOABLE!  Look at how much time you’ll be spending here in Orlando in comparison to how much time you want to be spending in the theme parks of Disney.  Even us local Floridians need to consider these helpful tips when making our drive to O-town this year.  Be sure to check our blog for more useful tips and info on planning your vacation to Disney World and the greater Orlando area.
