But let me be honest from the outset: this isn\u2019t an ordinary holiday destination\u2014it\u2019s more like an endurance race that calls for a bit of strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We\u2019ve already published a comprehensive guide to <a href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/dovolena-florida\/\">Florida vacations: 25 things to see, itinerary and prices<\/a>, where we explain in detail what each park offers and how to plan a trip around Florida. This guide takes a different approach: rather than focusing on admission prices, let\u2019s talk about how to make it through Orlando without queuing all day or completely emptying your wallet. I\u2019ll share ways to avoid spending half your holiday in line\u2014and show you places most visitors never even hear about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The most important thing to remember before your trip is that <strong>in Orlando, you\u2019re not mainly paying for admission\u2014you\u2019re paying for your time<\/strong>. Park tickets often make up only a small part of the total cost; the real money goes on skipping lines, parking and logistics. So let\u2019s look at how to take home the best Orlando memories without blowing through all your savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6ab43b7961251&quot;}\"

Guests at park hotels get in 30\u201360 minutes early and often enjoy free parking.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Avoid school holidays:<\/strong> The biggest crowds arrive at Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving and during the summer holidays.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Multi-day tickets save money:<\/strong> They cost much less per day than single-day tickets, so it pays to plan ahead.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Orlando isn\u2019t all concrete:<\/strong> You\u2019ll find beautiful Wekiwa Springs, peaceful lakes and the historic streets of Winter Park.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>You\u2019ll need a car:<\/strong> Unlike many major North American cities, Orlando has huge distances, so you\u2019ll need a rental car or frequent rideshares.<\/li>\n\n\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_to_visit_Orlando\"><\/span>When to visit Orlando<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you want to enjoy the parks without the worst crowds, <strong>plan your visit outside US school holidays<\/strong>. The busiest times are Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving and, of course, the entire summer holiday period. Visit then and you\u2019ll need to budget generously for line-skipping options\u2014or you may barely get to ride anything. The quietest periods are generally late August to late September and around the end of January and beginning of February.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Florida\u2019s unpredictable weather is another major factor. <strong>Summer in Orlando means intense heat and high humidity<\/strong>, and walking across sun-baked concrete in the parks can become a real endurance test. Strong afternoon thunderstorms are also common. They may briefly clear the parks, but lightning shuts down outdoor rides immediately. Spring and late autumn are usually more comfortable and offer steadier weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Think carefully about how long to stay, because <strong>multi-day tickets are dramatically cheaper per day<\/strong>. A single day can easily cost more than $150, while the daily rate drops considerably with a five-day pass. Before your trip, check whether your ticket requires a park reservation. Disney introduced this system to manage daily capacity, and without a valid reservation you won\u2019t be allowed in\u2014even if you\u2019ve already paid for your ticket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_stay_in_Orlando\"><\/span>Where to stay in Orlando<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Staying at one of the huge theme park resorts might seem like an unnecessary splurge, but it can be the smartest move of your entire trip. <strong>A hotel at Disney or Universal isn\u2019t just a luxury\u2014it\u2019s a way to buy yourself more time<\/strong>, along with some major strategic advantages. Disney hotel guests can enter the parks 30 minutes early each day, and standard parking is included, saving you $35 a day and a lot of morning stress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Universal\u2019s early-entry perks are even better. <strong>Guests at Universal hotels can enter selected parks up to an hour early<\/strong>, including on their check-in and check-out days. Self-parking is also free. Trust me: an hour in an almost-empty theme park at sunrise is worth far more than an hour in the afternoon, when sweaty crowds from all over the world fill the walkways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019d rather stay outside the parks and save money, take a look at our detailed guide to <a href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/kde-bydlet-v-orlandu\/\">where to stay in Orlando<\/a>, which compares the different neighbourhoods.

Basic one-day tickets to Disney World start at $119 and can rise to $209, depending on the date and park. This is usually the busiest of Orlando\u2019s parks, so be ready for serious crowds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is where you\u2019ll really feel that time is money, as queues for the most famous rides can get extreme. <strong>Disney Lightning Lane Multi Pass costs $15\u2013$39 per person per day<\/strong>.

Epcot is enormous, though, and you can easily walk dozens of kilometres, so bring your most comfortable shoes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This park is also the culinary highlight of the Orlando resort, drawing food lovers from all over the country. <strong>Epcot has Orlando\u2019s best selection for vegetarians<\/strong>, so you won\u2019t have to worry about going hungry.

It\u2019s also where the biggest morning rush for virtual queues happens, so if you\u2019re not staying at a Disney hotel with early entry, be ready on your phone as soon as reservations open.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You\u2019ll also find a fantastic Toy Story area that\u2019s great for families and younger visitors. <strong>The park\u2019s spectacular evening show, Fantasmic!,<\/strong> combines water, fireworks and live performers. As at the other Disney parks, all-day standard parking costs $35, while preferred spaces can cost up to $60.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udca1 Tip: To fit in the main attractions without spending all day in line, <strong>it\u2019s worth considering a Lightning Lane Multi Pass at this park<\/strong>.

The resort is divided into six themed areas and dominated by the impressive Tree of Life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The biggest hit is the visually stunning world of Avatar, where you can soar on the back of a banshee\u2014an experience that leaves even ride sceptics wondering what just happened. <strong>Don\u2019t miss Kilimanjaro Safaris in the Africa section<\/strong>, either. An open-air safari vehicle takes you across a vast savanna among exotic animals roaming freely. Every ride is different because the animals follow their own routines and don\u2019t take direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udca1 Tip: Animals are most active early in the morning and in the late afternoon, when the worst heat has eased. <strong>Make the safari your first stop after the park opens<\/strong> to avoid long queues and see animals moving around before they shelter from the midday Florida sun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6ab43b7964588&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6ab43b7964588\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1200\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/universal-studios-florida.jpg\" alt=\"Universal Studios Florida\" class=\"wp-image-413270\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/universal-studios-florida.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/universal-studios-florida-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/universal-studios-florida-700x525.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/universal-studios-florida-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/universal-studios-florida-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/universal-studios-florida-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/universal-studios-florida-160x120.jpg 160w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/universal-studios-florida-696x522.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/universal-studios-florida-1392x1044.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Gaurav Kumar \/ Google Maps<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Universal_Studios_Florida\"><\/span>5.

Since April 2026, Universal has also offered Express Pass Now for individual rides, at around $20\u2013$30 for a single priority ride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udca1 Tip: Demand for this new park remains exceptionally high, so <strong>you\u2019ll want to book your tickets well in advance<\/strong>.

The site is huge, though, so expect plenty of walking between the aquariums and pools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There\u2019s an important ethical question to consider before your visit. <strong>Some travellers choose to skip the park because of its ethics<\/strong>, as keeping large cetaceans and orcas in captivity has long been controversial.

Most visitors stop at the first animal pools, leaving the best rides at the back relatively quiet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6ab43b7966b4a&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6ab43b7966b4a\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1200\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/swap-412831-10-e0931d65.jpg\" alt=\"Discovery Cove in Orlando\" class=\"wp-image-413431\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/swap-412831-10-e0931d65.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/swap-412831-10-e0931d65-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/swap-412831-10-e0931d65-700x525.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/swap-412831-10-e0931d65-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/swap-412831-10-e0931d65-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/swap-412831-10-e0931d65-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/swap-412831-10-e0931d65-160x120.jpg 160w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/swap-412831-10-e0931d65-696x522.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/swap-412831-10-e0931d65-1392x1044.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: William Dye \/ Google Maps<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10_Discovery_Cove\"><\/span>10.

The main attraction is swimming in artificial lagoons filled with colourful tropical fish and majestic rays. The atmosphere is completely different: no loudspeakers or announcements, just the sound of water and some well-earned peace and quiet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As with its sister park SeaWorld, though, there\u2019s an ethical issue to keep in mind. <strong>The highlight of the afternoon programme is a scheduled dolphin swim<\/strong>\u2014a lifelong dream for some visitors,

expensive, but they can come with a major extra. <strong>They often include 14 days of unlimited admission to SeaWorld and Aquatica water park<\/strong>, which can make the package good value if

The park is colourful, relaxed and much less stressful than Orlando\u2019s major theme park giants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beyond the rides, Miniland is a major highlight. <strong>Millions of tiny bricks are used to recreate famous American cities in incredible detail<\/strong>, delighting both children and adult fans of the legendary building toy. The resort also has a small water park and a lovely historic botanical garden with huge trees\u2014a welcome break from all the plastic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udca1 Tip: Remember that this park is designed mainly for younger visitors, roughly up to 10\u201312 years old. <strong>Older teens may not find enough thrills here<\/strong>, so consider one of the more action-packed parks above instead, or they may get bored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6ab43b7967b43&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6ab43b7967b43\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"828\" height=\"590\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/gatorland.jpg\" alt=\"Gatorland\" class=\"wp-image-413298\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/gatorland.jpg 828w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/gatorland-300x214.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/gatorland-700x499.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/gatorland-768x547.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/gatorland-696x496.jpg 696w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 828px) 100vw, 828px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Anand Francis \/ Google Maps<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"12_Gatorland\"><\/span>12.

This is Florida in its more natural form, without screens, licensed storybook characters or the price tag of the major parks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The biggest draw for brave visitors is a special zipline course. <strong>You can fly right over huge ponds full of hungry alligators<\/strong>\u2014an experience no sterile theme park with plastic animals could ever offer. The staff are great, too, and will share plenty of fun facts about the reptiles with their trademark Southern humour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udca1 Tip: You\u2019ll need only about half a day to explore this alligator kingdom. <strong>It\u2019s an ideal, more relaxed way to spend a free afternoon<\/strong> when you need a break from huge crowds and want a taste of quirky Southern atmosphere without rushing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6ab43b79684ed&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6ab43b79684ed\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"899\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/fun-spot-america.jpg\" alt=\"Fun Spot America\" class=\"wp-image-413303\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/fun-spot-america.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/fun-spot-america-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/fun-spot-america-700x393.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/fun-spot-america-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/fun-spot-america-1536x863.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/fun-spot-america-696x391.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/fun-spot-america-1392x782.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Fun Spot America \/ Google Maps<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"13_Fun_Spot_America\"><\/span>13.

It has excellent wooden roller coasters, a big Ferris wheel with lovely views and multi-level go-kart tracks where the whole family can let loose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A big advantage is that there\u2019s no general admission fee. <strong>You can wander around with a drink in hand and pay only for the rides you want<\/strong>. If you plan to ride all afternoon, though, a day wristband for unlimited rides is better value and costs much less than at the better-known parks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udca1 Tip: There are two Fun Spot America locations\u2014one in Orlando and one in nearby Kissimmee. <strong>Come after dark, when the amusement park glows with colourful neon lights<\/strong>. Racing go-karts on a warm Florida evening has a special kind of magic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6ab43b7968ce4&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6ab43b7968ce4\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"399\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/vodn-parky-typhoon-lagoon.jpg\" alt=\"Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach water parks\" class=\"wp-image-413307\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/vodn-parky-typhoon-lagoon.jpg 600w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/vodn-parky-typhoon-lagoon-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Randolfo Santos \u00b7 \/ Google Maps<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"14_Typhoon_Lagoon_and_Blizzard_Beach_water_parks\"><\/span>14. Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach water parks<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alongside its classic rides, Disney runs two huge water parks, each themed down to the smallest detail. <strong>Typhoon Lagoon looks like a beautiful tropical island hit by a devastating typhoon<\/strong>. Its centrepiece is a huge wave pool with waves powerful enough to feel like the real ocean. It\u2019s a wonderful place to relax beneath mature palms after days of non-stop walking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The second park is a playful visual contradiction in the middle of a hot Florida summer. <strong>Blizzard Beach is styled as a ski resort hit by an unexpected snowstorm<\/strong>, with fast slides that look like snowy slopes and funny melting snowmen dotted around the park. Disney often alternates between the two parks, so outside the peak summer season, only one may be open at a time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udca1 Tip: Tickets are usually a little cheaper than admission to the main parks. <strong>If you\u2019ve planned a rest day in your itinerary, the water parks are a great option<\/strong> for having fun at a more reasonable price while cooling off in the heat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6ab43b7969498&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6ab43b7969498\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1465\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/icon-park.jpg\" alt=\"ICON Park and The Orlando Eye\" class=\"wp-image-413311\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/icon-park.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/icon-park-300x275.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/icon-park-700x641.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/icon-park-768x703.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/icon-park-1536x1406.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/icon-park-696x637.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/icon-park-1392x1275.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: p47r0n \u201cP47R0N\u201d \/ Google Maps<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"15_ICON_Park_and_The_Orlando_Eye\"><\/span>15.

Take a leisurely stroll, soak up the holiday atmosphere and enjoy the food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There\u2019s plenty of good-value food to suit different tastes. <strong>International Drive has lots of excellent Indian and Asian restaurants with great options for vegetarians<\/strong>, often tastier than the overpriced food stands inside the parks. And if you eat meat, there are also plenty of juicy American steaks to try.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udca1 Tip: The complex\u2019s landmark is <strong>The Orlando Eye, a 122-metre (400-foot) observation wheel with comfortable, air-conditioned glass capsules<\/strong>. On a clear day, you can see across the city\u2014and even spot the famous launch pads on the distant coast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6ab43b7969a59&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6ab43b7969a59\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1200\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/old-town-v-kissimmee.jpg\" alt=\"Old Town in Kissimmee\" class=\"wp-image-413314\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/old-town-v-kissimmee.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/old-town-v-kissimmee-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/old-town-v-kissimmee-700x525.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/old-town-v-kissimmee-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/old-town-v-kissimmee-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/old-town-v-kissimmee-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/old-town-v-kissimmee-160x120.jpg 160w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/old-town-v-kissimmee-696x522.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/old-town-v-kissimmee-1392x1044.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Paul van &#8216;t Sant \/ Google Maps<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"16_Old_Town_in_Kissimmee\"><\/span>16. Old Town in Kissimmee<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A short distance south of Orlando, Kissimmee is home to a lovely spot that takes you back several decades. <strong>Old Town is a charming pedestrian area styled as an old Florida town<\/strong>, with small independent shops, cosy retro diners and old-fashioned fairground rides. It\u2019s a refreshing contrast to the cutting-edge technology and crowds at the major movie studios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The nostalgic district really comes alive at weekends, when local car enthusiasts gather here. <strong>Regular classic car meet-ups and slow parades, known as Classic Car Cruises,<\/strong> bring gleaming vintage vehicles to the streets. Watch from the pavement with a generous swirl of soft-serve in hand and soak up a little old-fashioned American nostalgia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udca1 Tip: There\u2019s no admission fee, and parking is often free. <strong>Stop by for dinner or an evening stroll after a demanding day at the parks<\/strong>. Live music on the streets gives the area a unique atmosphere and makes it a lovely place to unwind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6ab43b796a172&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6ab43b796a172\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1200\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/lake-eola-park-v-centru-orlanda.jpg\" alt=\"Lake Eola Park in downtown Orlando\" class=\"wp-image-413317\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/lake-eola-park-v-centru-orlanda.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/lake-eola-park-v-centru-orlanda-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/lake-eola-park-v-centru-orlanda-700x525.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/lake-eola-park-v-centru-orlanda-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/lake-eola-park-v-centru-orlanda-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/lake-eola-park-v-centru-orlanda-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/lake-eola-park-v-centru-orlanda-160x120.jpg 160w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/lake-eola-park-v-centru-orlanda-696x522.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/lake-eola-park-v-centru-orlanda-1392x1044.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Rilder Rodriguez \/ Google Maps<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"17_Lake_Eola_Park_in_downtown_Orlando\"><\/span>17.

While the concrete city bakes in the summer heat, you can swim in cool, clean water in the middle of a deep forest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The park is also a paradise for paddlers and anyone who enjoys an active day out. <strong>Rent a canoe or kayak and take a peaceful trip down the winding Wekiva River<\/strong>.

This isn\u2019t a film set\u2014it\u2019s a real historic site from which people launched for the Moon and where rockets still regularly head into space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The exhibits and tour at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kennedyspacecenter.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex<\/a> are so engaging that you can easily spend the whole day there. <strong>You\u2019ll see the enormous Saturn V rocket and the original Space Shuttle Atlantis<\/strong>, and an air-conditioned bus will take you past the huge launch complexes still used by NASA and private space companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udca1 Tip: Before planning your trip to the coast, <strong>check the launch schedule on the centre\u2019s official website<\/strong>.

If you&#8217;re planning to visit the main Disney and Universal resort areas and add at least one relaxing day in nature or by the pool, I recommend setting aside 7 to 10 days for Orlando. Anything shorter means constant running, enormous stress, and you won&#8217;t be able to truly enjoy it.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1788283137001\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Should_I_choose_Disney_or_Universal\"><\/span>Should I choose Disney or Universal?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>For families with younger children, lovers of classic fairy tales, and die-hard Star Wars fans, Disney is the clear choice. However, if you&#8217;re looking for more intense roller coasters, traveling with older teenagers, and love the magical world of Harry Potter, you&#8217;ll definitely be much more thrilled by Universal with its more action-packed and modern approach.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1788283137002\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_I_need_a_car_in_Orlando\"><\/span>Do I need a car in Orlando?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Yes, I strongly recommend renting your own car. Orlando really isn&#8217;t a typical compact city, but a huge sprawling area built for cars. The distances between individual parks, hotels, and nature reserves are enormous, and relying only on expensive taxis or hotel shuttles with limited schedules will cost you a lot of time and nerves.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1788283137003\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_it_really_worth_staying_at_hotels_near_the_parks\"><\/span>Is it really worth staying at hotels near the parks?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re planning to spend most of your time in the parks, then it&#8217;s absolutely worth it. The time you gain from early morning entry of 30 to 60 minutes allows you to hit the best main attractions without hour-long lines, which has immeasurable value. At Universal, you&#8217;ll also save significant money on otherwise very expensive self-service parking.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1788283137004\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_the_parks_have_any_vegetarian_food\"><\/span>Do the parks have any vegetarian food?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>The selection is fortunately constantly improving, with Disney&#8217;s Epcot park being the absolute winner in this regard. You&#8217;ll find plenty of excellent meat-free dishes inspired by world cuisine there, and on International Drive you&#8217;ll come across great Indian and Asian restaurants. Of course, there&#8217;s also the beloved sweet churros and the legendary Dole Whip pineapple ice cream, so you definitely won&#8217;t go hungry.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1788283137005\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_is_Orlando_least_crowded\"><\/span>When is Orlando least crowded?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>You&#8217;ll experience the most peace during the period from late August to late September, when American kids go back to school, and then around the turn of January and February. At all costs, avoid all major holidays, spring break around Easter, and especially those long summer vacations, when it&#8217;s also extremely hot and humid.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1788283137006\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_it_possible_to_do_two_parks_in_one_day\"><\/span>Is it possible to do two parks in one day?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>At Universal, it&#8217;s theoretically possible if you buy the more expensive Park-to-Park ticket and pay extra for Express Pass, because the parks are right next to each other and connected by a train. At Disney, while it&#8217;s possible with the so-called Park Hopper ticket, given the enormous distances between parks you&#8217;ll lose a lot of time just on transfers, and honestly I don&#8217;t really recommend it.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Find out how to tackle Orlando\u2019s world-famous theme parks without wasting hours in line, and discover beautiful natural escapes most visitors never know about.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":413390,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","rank_math_title":"Disney Orlando USA: 20 Best Things to Do in 2026","rank_math_description":"Plan your Orlando trip with 20 top sights, smart theme park strategies, crowd-beating tips and nature escapes.
