What To Know Before Your Stay
Practical tips for hotel guests in Orlando
Staying on Disney or Universal property gets you early park access and free transportation. Off-site hotels on I-Drive save 40–60% on room rates.
Theme park tickets are cheapest when bought in advance online. Gate prices are always higher.
Florida afternoons bring brief, heavy rainstorms from June through September. Pack a poncho — parks don't close for rain.
Bring your own refillable water bottle. Parks charge $3–5 for bottled water but have free water fountains and cup water at quick-service restaurants.
Grocery delivery (Instacart, Walmart+) to your hotel saves a fortune on snacks and breakfast versus park food prices.
Evenings are cooler and less crowded at the parks. Ride the popular attractions during the last 2 hours before closing.

About Staying in Orlando
Should I stay on Disney property or off-site?
On-site Disney hotels offer early park entry, free transportation, and the "magic" of staying in the resort. But off-site hotels on International Drive or Lake Buena Vista save 40–60% and are just 10–15 minutes away.
How many days do I need for the parks?
Plan 2–3 days for Disney World's four parks (or 4 if you want to be thorough), 2 days for Universal, and 1 day for SeaWorld. That's 5–8 days minimum if you want to cover the major parks without rushing.
When are Orlando hotel prices lowest?
Late January through mid-February (after MLK weekend) and September through mid-November (after Labor Day, before Thanksgiving) offer the lowest rates and shortest park wait times.
