Orlando, Florida

Orlando is a place which I believe everyone should visit at least once. The 5 days spent in Orlando visiting several parks could be the happiest 5 days of your life. Being one of the best tourist places in Southern USA, Orlando is the best vacation you can plan. It’s a magical world in the real sense. Due to great advancement in the science and technology, all the attractions here are top notch.

There are several parks in Orlando which are world famous. Be it Universal Studios or Universal Island of Adventures, Disney World or Disney’s Hollywood Studio, Animal Kingdom or Seaworld, you are sure to have a blast. Every ride is a journey along with all the characters related to the ride. This makes the whole experience a very memorable one.

It’s extremely difficult to create an Itinerary for Orlando as different people like different things which several different parks offer. But one thing is sure, you need to plan this trip really well if you want to enjoy most of the things Orlando has to offer. Each park requires an entire day and even then you will miss some of the things it offers, so our suggested itinerary is for 5 days (A Magical week). This itinerary is designed for families/friends who desire to enjoy the parks with a relaxed pace.

Ideal Time to Visit Parks/Orlando:
       Week following Long Weekends
Weeks where schools are in session
If you don’t care about the crowd and want to enjoy the parades – Christmas weeks. 1-2 week(s) before Christmas is ideal as crowd is manageable and you can see all the decorations and parades.

Suggestion for all parks:
·        Try to leave hotel as early as possible (7.30 AM) as the crowd level is least in the morning and the wait times for each ride is significantly low. Grab some fruits from your hotel breakfast in the morning and then you can have an early lunch inside the park. This gives you a big advantage and you can ride your favorite attractions multiple times.
·        Around 12PM have lunch as this is the time crowd starts pouring in.

There are too many good rides in this park to be completed in a single day. We suggest you to purchase 2 day Universal Ticket which gives 3rd day free entry. Use the 3rd day to spend time at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter and the new Diagon Alley. There’s a Hogwartz Train which connects the two lands. There’s ample to see and enjoy here. The ride inside the castle is the best ever, you should ride it at least a couple of times. Try Single rider line where the crowd is less. Have lunch at the Three Broomsticks, buy wand from Olivanders and enjoy frozen butterbeer. Relax on Day 3 a bit as you have couple more of exhaustive days to go in your trip.
