Transportation To & Around Orlando
No matter where you're coming from, whether you're flying or driving, getting to and around Orlando is fairly easy. Orlando International Airport, MCO, is known as one of the kid-friendliest airports in the country. And for good reason—there are more visitors to Orlando than any other city in the U.S.! Many of them are families headed to the theme parks. If you drive to and around Orlando, you'll find the major roadways easy to navigate. We've put together this Orlando transportation guide to help you plan a smooth trip.
Transportation to Orlando
Of course, whether you drive or fly largely depends on where you're coming from and how many people you will have traveling with you. While big families may find it's cheaper to load up the family minivan for a road trip, it's important to factor in the additional cost of food and gas while on the road. Tad and Lily sure do go through the chocolate-covered flies when they're stuck in the car for an extended period of time!
If you do decide to drive, be sure to check out our helpful tips for a smooth car ride.
