ORLANDO TRAVEL TIPS: 8 Things to Know Before You Go
Everything YOU need to know before you visit Orlando Florida. Florida is the epicenter of the world for theme parks and Orlando is the capital. Orlando is a magical place where no one is too old, or too young, to wear Mickey ears or wave a Harry Potter wand. Orlando is conveniently located near other popular Florida destinations such as the beaches of the Gulf Coast and the Florida Keys, which can make for a great day trip or add-on to a longer vacation.

Thanks Chris for promoting Orlando. Everything you said is true based on my two year resident experience here in Orlando. Moved from Mid-Atlantic area. Most people here are happy. Big contrast. Living among jolly people is very helpful to physical and mental health.

Orlando is one of the best cities in Florida I have lived! Love Florida in general
I rented from Dollar last month, quick easy and convenient. I used directions without tolls and drove all over for free. Just try to keep out of the left lanes, so you don’t accidentally get charged.
THANKS FOR ALL THE GREAT TIPS

Thanks Chris for showing more of Orlando than Disneyworld. I was there as a teenager as I won a 3 day trip to Disneyworld, Sea world ,and the Daytona 500 races. I have a good friend who liked tō visit from CT ,and about 6 yrs ago bought a second home, a 2-Bedroom modular unit on a lake. He goes down 5-6 times a year to escape the cold and snowy Winter's here. H e does have a good friend to look after his home there .I may have to visit in the near future as I love Disneyworld.

All this advice is spot on, we flew into Tampa for our Orlando vacation, tickets were almost $100 cheaper per person, which saved us $400, about an hour drive to Disney, also, we visited in July, the humidity was unbearable, and we’were chased out of the waterparks because of lightning, people will do well to take your advice Chris.

I've only been to Orlando twice, and funny enough, both trips were business trips, so I only got to see downtown Orlando. It's quite a nice city overall. I would like to go back at some point to check out some of the attractions. I'm glad that there are other cool things to do there beside just the theme parks!
Thanks for all the info !!! Will see you in December/ January !! Regards from us in South Africa !!!!

Chris, Orlando is one of the best places, if you’re renting a car, to actually rent a vacation home! Our last two trips, in Jan 2017 and Dec 2019/Jan 2020, we rented really nice big vacation homes in suburban Davenport (2000 sq ft and four bedrooms with a private pool) only about eight miles away from Disney, for less than $150/ night

dont go in any lake in Orlando there will be alligators in them and that includes the man-made lakes, they search for water
Stayed at the Waldorf Astoria with the Disney view.
I went to the ICON McDonal's to hide the heary thunderstorm by accident in July 2022. The golden arches sign was the only thing I could see on highway in heavy rain.

I wonder what's the cheapest way to buy universal studios tickets for an adult? And is an airbnb cheaper than a hotel?
International Drive is to Orlando as Harbor Blvd is to Buena Park and Anaheim , Knotts Berry Farm and the Disneyland/Dis Cal Adventure. Are there partner hotels with Dis World like Disneyland has with the hotels off park premises? Just curious

Hi Danielle. Yeah. It's a similar setup in Orlando with the partner hotels
Parking is free @ UOR after 6pm ... unless there's a special event.
Hi Chris, are there hotels in Orlando you recommend that are easy to get from to the theme park? Are the dates 25 - 29 of December going to be too packed?
@YellowProductions

If you stay near the Orlando World Center Marriott that's pretty easy access to Disney World. And yes.. between Christmas and New Years will be packed.. but if that's the only time you can go I guess you just deal with it
there are brand new hotels around the corner from Disneyworld on flamingo and western way, they have kitchens in them and a brand-new shopping center, and great views of the fireworks, they are right behind magic kingdom and a lot cheaper, I would rent a car and stay there since Disney has taken away many perks

If you decide to go to downtown Orlando, just be wary that there are a lot of transient people. They're mostly harmless but will likely ask you for money. It is also a massive party destination in the evenings and latter half of the week, so not super kid-friendly during those times.
