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.

    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.

    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

    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.
