Planning a visit to Orlando, the destination on many a bucket list? For some, Orlando is the dream trip of a lifetime, so it can be hard to decide where to begin when planning your agenda.
Whether you want to hop from theme park to theme park during your stay or stick to Orlando’s lesser-visited outskirts, check out our guide to visiting Orlando, on and off the parks. Beware that park safety protocols have evolved in light of the pandemic, so expect measures like social distancing, reduced capacity, temperature checks, and mandatory masks.
Stay Somewhere Close to the Park
A fun Orlando vacation starts with picking the right hotel, especially if you’re going for the parks. To maximize your vacation, book a stay in close proximity to the parks. Staying at a Disney-sanctioned hotel that connects to the parks via free shuttle is highly recommended—some even offer a direct connection via buses, boats, the Monorail, or Skyliner gondolas, which is all the more convenient.
