Reasons to visit Orlando
Visit Walt Disney World
One of the most popular amusement parks in the world, and one of the major reasons so many families book flights to Orlando, is Walt Disney World. The huge attraction consists of four theme parks, two water parks, several golf courses, two shopping districts and 27 themed resort hotels.
Opened back in 1971 and sprawling across 40 square miles, visitors can spend days exploring the four parks: Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom.
Each area not only boasts thrilling rides, but also interactive attractions and meet and greets with well-known characters such as Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse. With so much for families to do, it is little wonder it has earned the tag the ‘Happiest Place on Earth’.
Ride the rollercoasters
Families are well catered for in Orlando, but it’s not just the children who will enjoy a day out at Universal Orlando Resort. Smaller and easier to navigate than Walt Disney World, this theme park offers fun for the entire family thanks to its range of adrenaline-fuelled rollercoasters and entertaining live shows.
Consisting of three theme parks, Islands of Adventure has the bulk of the thrill rides, while Universal Studios has an array of movie-based attractions. Finally, the recently opened Wizarding World of Harry Potter is a must-visit for fans of the JK Rowling novels.
Stroll through Loch Haven Park
Take a break from the thrills and head to Loch Haven Park, which is perfect for an afternoon wander. Covering 45 acres and home to three picturesque lakes, there is plenty for the whole family to enjoy thanks to the array of theatres and museums.
There is an outdoor performance plaza with regular shows, while the Orlando Ballet and Museum of Fine Art are also located within the park. Ideal for children, the Orlando Science Centre has a vast array of exciting, interactive exhibits and live programmes that are designed to inspire curiosity.
Things to know before you fly to Orlando
Transfers from the airport
Orlando International Airport is 12 miles (19 km) from the centre of the city. There are several shuttle services and taxis readily available outside of the airport. Alternatively, book a transfer with Etihad to make the journey even easier.
Getting around
Renting a car is recommended as many of the city’s top attractions are spread out. Taxis are typically available at the theme parks, alongside public transport options – buses travel between the main attractions regularly.
Fun in the sun
Orlando is typically warm and sunny whenever you visit so sun protection is important. Visiting a theme park typically means plenty of time outside, whether watching a parade or queuing for your next rollercoaster. It’s a good idea to pack plenty of suncream, layers to cover up with and a hat too.
Local currency
Orlando uses the official currency of the USA, the US dollar (USD). Most places will accept major credit cards, but it’s always handy to have cash to hand. You can exchange your money into USD before you fly, at the airport or at many of the local banks in Orlando.
