Guide to Orlando

We would like one to enjoy your holiday and return home having the best experience possible. So here is our guide with a few guidelines for you to get the most effective from the parks.

Don’t use a weekend! We get normally 25 days holiday with work within the UK, but in America they get yourself a whopping … 13 ! So believe me when I say that Americans absolutely utilize their weekends. So don’t do the parks on a weekend in places you must queue track of the locals too.

Do not get this mistaken for the parks being empty on the weekdays since they won’t be, Orlando gets 72 million visitors a year and they're not all sat in their resort rooms twiddling their fingers. But there will be a big difference (specially in the Disney parks) towards the queuing from a good 1.5h with a weekend day's 3h.

Also avoid taking place American bank holidays.

Use the Disney fast passes. The second you've received your tickets, place the barcode into the Disney app and book them instantly. This can be achieved months even before you leave to your holiday. You both get three passes, therefore if your using granny and granddad too who will certainly not be going on Space Mountain, use theirs too to obtain an extra six passes.

In universal you have to pay for a fast pass ticket which allows you to use the pass once on all of the rides. This could be quite expensive, just about double the cost of the particular day ticket. When we go, most of us go on the one rider lines and fly with the whole park in approx 3 hours if we make it happen at doors opening.

It is simple to do both Universal Studios and Universal Island of Adventures in a single day. Just be sure you hit fantastic worlds new theme park first as that has a tendency to close at 5/6pm-ish while Universal Islands of Adventures closes late at night.

Sea World features a few good roller coasters and each time we go (over a week day) we find it's empty. We usually walk straight on to a ride and never queue. Don’t buy fast passes here as it is a waste of cash.
