Orlando in Florida's Orange Country receives over 50 million visitors a year, mainly seeking the thrills of its theme parks. Whether you're travelling with kids or bringing out the kid in yourself, there's plenty to choose from. The hardest part of a holiday to Orlando is deciding what to do.
Walt Disney Resort is composed of multiple parks, as is Universal Orlando Resort and SeaWorld Orlando Resort. Kennedy Space Centre, Busch Gardens and the many beautiful gardens leave visitors spoilt for choice. If theme parks don't excite you, there are many shopping outlets and beaches, like Daytona, within a 90-minute drive.
Flights from Australia to Orlando typically stop over in Los Angeles (LAX) or Dallas (DFT). Attraction ticket prices can add up, so it's worth saving as much as you can on a flight deal to Orlando.
Depending on your departure airport, you will have one or two stopovers on the way to Orlando. Here's what's considered to be a good deal compared to the average price of a flight from Australia to Orlando.
Orlando International Airport (MCO) is 10 kilometres from Orlando city centre. Passengers board the Automated Guided Transit (AGT) train from the air strip to the main terminal building, which only takes a minute. Private shuttles, public buses, taxis , Ubers and rental cars can all be found on the Ground Transportation Level (Level 1) and are well signposted. Budget-friendly local public buses (Lynx) go to Downtown Orlando, Walt Disney World and International Drive. The resort hotels all have airport transfers which you can prebook. Disney’s Magical Express service is free for Walt Disney World resort hotel guests and takes care of your luggage from the plane to your hotel.
Hiring a car is the most convenient way of getting around Orlando and its attractions, especially if you plan to visit the coast. Major car rental companies offer good value and are found in both terminals on the Ground Transportation Level. Many hotels offer shuttle services to the theme parks so you don’t necessarily need a car if you don’t plan on going much further afield. There’s also the I-Ride Trolley which is a hop-on hop-off service to the attractions and hotels along International Drive. The airport website has an excellent, detailed section on all of its transportation methods.
