Although some of us are close enough to drive to Disney World, most of us fly, especially those of us who live far from Florida or even outside the United States. The good news is that Orlando International Airport has been adding new flights and airlines to its roster a LOT lately. Now, ANOTHER new airline is offering flights to Orlando.
We’ve got some good reasons you might want to avoid Orlando International Airport this weekend — make that more like 1.1 million reasons.
Orlando International Airport
It’s no secret that the airport gets significantly more crowded over the holidays, the Spring Break travel season, and even throughout the summer. But Memorial Day weekend is about to see HUGE crowds coming into the airport, and we’ve got the numbers for the five days that comprise the travel weekend.
No matter how far you live from Disney World, it always seems like the journey takes forever!
Traveling soon?
And if you do live far away, that’s even more true. You can’t just plan for the days you’re in the parks, you have to plan travel days too — suddenly a quick weekend trip turns into five days, five turns into seven, and so on. But what if you could fly to Disney World even faster — by going into space?
Flying is stressful enough, but you can make it a little less stressful by flying nonstop to avoid the hassle of catching a connecting flight (though, for many of us, this isn’t always possible). Luckily, another nonstop flight was just added to Orlando International Airport.
Flying away
We try to keep an eye on flights into and out of Orlando International Airport to help with your Disney World planning, meaning we’re always looking out for flight deals and discounts, as well as new flights. Well, ANOTHER nonstop flight is now available to and from the Orlando International Airport.
Traveling is fun, but there is a downside if you travel by air. Airports are RARELY fun and the process of getting through security can be a lengthy one with a lot of hoops to jump through.

Not only do you usually need to take your baggie of 3 oz. liquids out of your luggage, take your shoes off and take some of your electronics out of your bags, you also need to dig out your ID and boarding pass to show to a TSA agent even BEFORE you do all that. Of course, there are ways to skip some of that process, like TSA Precheck. However, some technology introduced last year could speed up the process even more.
ANYTHING can happen when you travel, even if you’re traveling to Disney World.
Flying?
Flight delays and cancellations can happen for a number of reasons, including weather, technical issues, and more. Recently, though, flights were delayed from Orlando for a more unusual reason.

One thing you’ll also need to think about is how you plan on GETTING to Disney World, and if you’re like most of us, you’ll probably prefer to fly.
