Orlando
The Theme Park Capital of the World
Orlando is the undisputed theme park capital of the world. With four Walt Disney World parks, three Universal Studios parks, SeaWorld, LEGOLAND and dozens more within a 30-mile radius, it is the only place on Earth where a family can spend two weeks without running out of new experiences.
Florida's warm climate means Orlando is a year-round destination. The shoulder seasons (January–April and September–November) offer the best combination of comfortable temperatures, smaller crowds and lower prices.

Orlando Travel Tips
- Buy a multi-day park hopper ticket — single-day rates are poor value.
- Arrive at parks 30 minutes before opening — the first 2 hours are far less crowded.
- Download the My Disney Experience app to see real-time wait times and pre-book Lightning Lane.
- Visit in September or January for the shortest queues and best prices.
