food IS a theme park
Some Disney vacations begin at Orlando International Airport, and this can make or break your trip!
Orlando International Airport
Orlando International Airport is located just about 20 miles from Disney World. Guests traveling to Disney World often take advantage of this if they are having to fly in from out of town. The airport just got a federal grant of $69 Million to continue to update its newest addition, Terminal C.
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.

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!
With Spring Break coming up and summer vacation right around the corner, you might be planning your next Disney World vacation!
Welcome to Disney World!
When planning your trip you might be researching crowd levels at the parks or booking your dining reservations. And if you’re flying, you might want to know how to get to your destination. We recently shared the five busiest days at the Orlando International Airport (MCO) during Spring Break, but one company is making it easier for you to get to Disney World from Orlando International Airport.
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!

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!
