Planning an Orlando holiday? We’ve got an expert for that

There’s a lot to love about an Orlando holiday but also a lot to work out. Parks, tickets, hotels, transport, dining plans, queues, weather, budgets… it can all get quite overwhelming, quite quickly.

So we’ve brought in someone who knows Orlando inside out and back to front - a Visit Orlando Vacation Planner.

They’ll be here to answer your questions, share the useful stuff you may not find in the brochures, and help you work out what will actually work for your family. Whether you need help choosing where to stay, deciding which parks are worth the spend, finding things to do beyond the big rides, or planning a trip that won’t leave everyone exhausted by day three, ask away.

You could ask about:

  • The best places to stay with children, and whether on-site is worth it
  • Which parks suit different ages and which you can probably skip
  • What to book before you travel
  • Saving money without missing out
  • Things to see and do beyond the theme parks
  • Food, transport, shopping and getting around
  • The Orlando tips that make a holiday run more smoothly

If it’s Orlando-related, chances are they’ll have an answer.

Post your question below by 04/11/2026 and you’ll be entered into a prize draw to win a £200 VEX gift voucher. T&Cs apply.

What is the shortest length of stay you could get away with that still enables you to experience a decent amount of what Florida has to offer?
I was thinking of a week to 10 days hopefully.
