food IS a theme park
Are you planning a trip to Orlando soon?
Terminal C at MCO
There are plenty of reasons to visit Central Florida this year — specifically Disney World! There’s a new coaster at Magic Kingdom and a new restaurant at Hollywood Studios, plus updates coming to hotels and parks very soon. And if you want to check it all out, we may have some good news…depending on where you live!
It’s never too soon to start planning your next Disney World vacation!
Orlando International Airport
Whether you prefer to fly into the Orlando International Airport (MCO) or live out your A Goofy Movie dreams with a cross-country road trip, getting to Florida is the first step to starting that vacation. If the convenience of flying is more your style, it’s about to get a whole lot easier to fly into MCO!
Even if you’re the kind of person who simply uses their hotel room for sleeping and wants to spend as much time as possible in the parks, it’s still important to put some thought into which resort you choose to book.

Not only does the price vary, but your entire experience will be different depending on where you choose. That’s why we suggest doing a bit of research to compare your options and help you pick the best resort possible for you and your family!
Spring is in the air!
Mickey & Minnie are in bloom!
Now is a great time to travel, especially to Disney World! The EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival is happening now through July 5th. The weather can be excellent in Florida in the spring and big changes are happening at Disney World — like Happily Ever After Returning on April 3rd. If you’ve got the hankering to get away, you might be able to save with a new sale on airline tickets!
If you are flying to Disney World, chances are you will land at Orlando International Airport. While it’s a popular choice because of how many other cities it connects to, it isn’t quite within walking distance of Disney World (in fact, it’s a decent drive to get to the parks).

With the loss of the free Magical Express and the average price for an Uber to Disney World ranging from $40 to $80 or more, many guests opt for cheaper alternatives. One such option is the Sunshine Flyer and right now they’re making it even more affordable to get to Disney World!
There’s a rumor that Disney World is covered by a giant dome that allows the company to control the weather.
Magic Kingdom
While that would make running the park a WHOLE lot easier, it just isn’t true. Orlando is subject to all sorts of bad weather, from hurricanes and torrential downpours to brutal heat (which you may not be surprised by). What may surprise you is that it actually DOES get cold, too! Knowing what the weather will be like ahead of your trip can help you plan accordingly and avoid any discomfort.
Many Walt Disney World guests arrive for their visit by plane, which means boarding that plane is when the vacation really begins!
A Magical Flight
The Orlando International Airport is a very popular destination for people heading to Disney World, Universal Studios, and other Central Florida attractions. In fact, it was recently announced that this airport is expanding to meet high customer demand. With the Brightline train opening this summer, which will connect Orlando to Miami, and more airlines adding flights to Orlando, it seems that the airport is just continuing to grow. Now, even more routes are on the way!
Part of having an enjoyable Disney trip is a smooth trip to Orlando. Starting off on the right foot will put you in the vacation mindset before you even step in the parks!

Not all airlines are created equal, though. When you are deciding on which airline to pick, you should consider not only their prices and availability but also their reputation when it comes to delays and cancellations.
The Orlando International Airport is the main airport that many guests flying to Disney World will use, so when something goes wrong it can really throw a wrench in everyone’s plans.
Orlando Airport
Right now, plenty of people heading to Orlando have hit a speedbump with their travels due to “technical issues at the Federal Aviation Administration’s Miami Center.”
Ahh Spring Break, the time when hoards of travelers flood Florida looking to get a little sun and relaxation!
Cinderella Castle
During the months of March and April, Disney World and other Orlando theme parks tend to get pretty packed with all the out-of-town guests. And since the theme parks are crowded, you can expect the airport to be crowded as well!
