What To See & Do In Orlando

You probably already know that Orlando is home to some of the most popular theme parks in the entire world. There is so much to experience that planning what to see and do in Orlando can be quite stressful! Once you've actually decided what you want to do in Orlando, then there's the challenge of deciding which ticket and how long to stay. This is not always an easy decision when there are multiple ticket options at Walt Disney World® Resort, Universal Orlando Resort™ and SeaWorld® Orlando. Luckily, we're here to help!

We've been hopping to Orlando's top attractions for more than a decade, so we know the best ways to experience them all. We recommend that most first-time visiting famliies plan at least four days at Walt Disney World® Resort and at least three days at Universal Orlando Resort™ (with Universal's Volcano Bay water park, famliies may want to consider adding another day!). Some of our other favorite destinations that we recommend famliies spend at least one day at are SeaWorld® Orlando, Discovery Cove®, LEGOLAND® Florida Resort and Busch Gardens® Tampa Bay. We offer discounts on all of Orlando's top attractions, but generally the earlier you purchase tickets, the more money you can save.
