Plan your trip to Orlando

Plan your trip to Orlando

Taking the family on the vacation of a lifetime in Orlando can be a daunting task if you’ve never visited the sunshine state of Florida before. What’s the best time to visit, what are the best Florida theme parks for your kids and how can you get around ? Of course, we’ll also help you to find the perfect Orlando vacation rental to accommodate yourself and your loved ones too!

 

Weather Guide

 

The hurricane season begins June 1 and ends November 30, and the highest probability of a storm is from August through October. July is the hottest month with an average temperature of 28°C (82°F) and the coldest is January at 15°C (59°F). July is also the wettest month of the year.

 

How to Get Around

 

You have a number of options available, depending on your preference and budget.

 

Car Rental

 

The most popular choice by far is car rental; the roads are excellent and theme parks and other attractions are well sign posted with great parking. There are lots of car rentals at the airport and there is also a free shuttle bus to more a little further away, usually better priced. Please remember that, if you’re from outside the US you’ll need an International Driving Licence. You’ll also need small change for toll roads (average $2). You need to pay for gas and the airport gas prices are higher than normal.

 

Public Transport

 

You’ll find public transport a convenient and cheap option. The main Central Florida bus system is called the LYNX bus.

 

I-Ride

 

This is a bus service but they look like tram cars and these are a great way of traveling between theme parks. Two routes service International Drive and Universal Boulevard. The fare is $1.25 for adults, 25¢ for seniors and children under 12 ride free.

 

 

 

Taxi

 

Orlando has lots of metered taxis starting rate of $2.23 and then $1.76 per kilometre rate. To give you an idea, a journey from Orlando International Airport to the Disney World Resort, would be around $60. Uber is also available in Orlando.

 

Shuttles

 

There are cheap shuttles which run from the airport to downtown Orlando and also to most major tourist attractions. If you’re staying with usat Encore Resort there are also several daily, complimentary shuttles to and from Walt Disney World.

 

 

Things to Do

 

Theme Park Heaven

 

Of course Walt Disney World Florida  is the number one choice; Magic Kingdom , Epcot, Animal Kingdom and Disney’s Hollywood Studio’soffer something for everyone!

 

You can enjoy three times the fun at Universal Studios Orlando  with the additional Universal Islands of Adventure and Volcano Bay.

 

Sea World Orlando (http://floridapremierrentals.com/disneys-hollywood-studios/)  is another major attraction and water parks such as Aquatica  and Typhoon Lagoon  are fantastic places to cool off and enjoy some splashing fun.

 

Restaurants

 

There are so many places to dine out in Orlando, with global cuisine for all budgets.Downtown Disney is a popular choice, especially for families with kids. The Bull and Bear Steakhouse is one of Florida’s finest and, if you want to impress your loved one, Chef’s Table at the Edgewater is fine dining at its best.

Sharleen Koepp 02/16/2025

It was amazing
Our family loved the private pool & hot tub. Would be nice to have float tubes and a ball especially for kids. Loved the large living/entertainment spaces & 4 bedrooms.Kitchen could have basic spices in the cupboard. Our toaster wasn’t working so called to report it & they promptly delivered a new one. Great place, close to Disney. Highly recommend.

Vacation to disney

We had a great experience.

Patricia Aker 05/02/2025

Beautiful home!
We enjoyed our time here. The property was an Uber ride to Disneyworld and Epcot center. The property has a nice pool and restaurant area that we did not get to enjoy this time around. Things to bring when staying here are shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. They did provide one packet of laundry and dishwashing soap. Plenty of pool towels and bath towels were available as well.If you plan to cook or eat at the house, you will need cooking oil, salt, pepper, coffee, and sugar. The pots, pans, and utensils were availabe and in great condition.

Great stay
We had a great stay at this home while we attended Disney for a few days. Plenty of room to spread out for the 9 of us! We would stay here again!

Maddy Harper 31/01/2025

A great place to stay while you visit Disney
The property was a convenient distance to Disney and lots of shops and restaurants right down the street. The house had everything we needed. The pool and amenities were an added bonus. It also had a little movie theatre in the community that was a nice day to break up our week at Disney. Plenty of space for the whole family. The kitchen had everything I could need.
