Travel demand has increased as summer gets closer.
Flying to Orlando
We’ve already seen Disney World Park Pass reservations filling up as demand to visit reaches pre-pandemic levels. And with the arrival of Memorial Day weekend, travel is looking to be huge.
Good news for those traveling to or from Europe!

While international travel is slow right now, we are seeing signs of progress as Disneyland Paris plans to reopen and guidelines are updated for fully vaccinated individuals. And now, there will be another option for those hoping to fly from Amsterdam to Orlando.
The pandemic has resulted in constant changes to travel and other policies.
Health and Safety Signs in Disney World
If you’ve been traveling in the last few years, you may be familiar with the Real ID. These new ID cards were originally supposed to roll out across the entire United States by October 1st, 2020, but that deadline was pushed back due to the pandemic. Now, we have another update.
When Google searches show a MASSIVE 2600% increase in travel to Disney World, the tourism industry takes heed!

Slowly but surely, things are changing. Vaccines are available across the country, people seem to be more comfortable with traveling again, and Disneyland Resort is about to reopen.

You might not be thinking about the future of airfares, but, if you’re looking to go to Disney World (or anyway on a plane!) soon, you need to.

There’s no doubt that it is a busy time if you are traveling to Disney World.
Orlando International Airport
While we’ve seen Disney World pretty crowded this week with all four parks at capacity, it wasn’t totally what we expected. And, if you find yourself flying to Disney World in the next few weeks, you can expect the airports to be fairly busy as well.
Disney World tends to be a spring break destination, and this year is no different.
Orlando Airport
We’ve seen Park Pass Reservations fill up a LOT in the month of March, meaning Disney World will look pretty busy in the coming weeks. Most people that fly to Disney World go through the Orlando International Airport, and it looks like the airport is expecting a major travel increase for spring break.
