Walt Disney World Resort and Universal Orlando Resort, both in Florida, are two different resort and theme park locations in Orlando. Many, especially when planning their first trip, will schedule time at both locations, but they are totally separate properties and will require separate tickets.

Both locations are great for families and adults. Let’s go over what each location has to offer, who it is best for, and recommendations.

Walt Disney World is comprised of over 25 resorts, 4 theme parks, 2 water parks, 3 golf courses, Disney Springs (over 60 dining locations and retail shopping), and ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex. It’s BIG and there is so much to do that you cannot do it all in a week’s stay.

The 4 theme parks:

Magic Kingdom
EPCOT
Hollywood Studios
Animal Kingdom

The 2 water parks:

Blizzard Beach
Typhoon Lagoon

Universal Orlando is smaller in comparison to Walt Disney World, but it’s not small at all. It is comprised of 8 resorts, 2 theme parks, 1 water park, and City Walk (over 30 dining locations and shopping). Universal Orlando overall is more compact than Walt Disney World with the two theme parks connected via the Hogwarts Express or walkable between the two.

Universal Orlando is made up of Universal Studios FL, Islands of Adventure, and Volcano Bay.

Let us help you make the most of your time in Orlando!

Coming at you with some tips and tricks and little tidbits when it comes to planning your next vacation!

✅If you know you want to travel over Spring Break or even this summer (March-August) start planning...like YESTERDAY.

✅I know you already know this, but pricing is up…everywhere and on all.the.things. Including travel. And, unfortunately I don’t have access to a secret stash of discounted flights. If you want the best pricing and availability, book EARLY!

✅”Deals” are getting harder and harder to find. And, with the already increase in rates (see above), those deals don’t always SEEM like a deal. Rolling the dice with time to see if the price comes down may leave you with less-than-ideal options (and/or) increased pricing. Why? Resorts and cruise lines are booked up or even sold out, thus no need to offer real "deals". The better prices are obtained when you book early and I don't want you to pay a penny more for your vacation than you have to! Side note: I DO WATCH FOR PRICE DROPS AND/OR PROMOTIONS FOR YOU! Like I said, I don't want you to pay more than you need to! I promise with booking direct, no one is looking out for you like I do. ;)

✅Availability is already low for summer travel. This is not me being dramatic or some sort of scare tactic- it’s honest and based on my research for current client requests. The earlier you book, the better the availability at resorts and cruises you’ll find. I have seen pricing and availability change in a matter of HOURS–available one night at one price and not available or at a higher rate the next!

✅If you use a travel advisor (even if it’s not me) please, please, PLEASE remember that we only get paid for our time when you book & travel WITH US. The pricing and availability I pull for you likely won’t be the same a week from now. The best time for us to look at prices is when you're ready to book– I can get most anything on a 2-3 day courtesy hold AND you’ll likely only need to pay a small deposit to lock in the rates (depending on the package/date)!

It does NOT cost you anything to book with us, but we do not get paid by the travel vendors (for our time and planning expertise) unless you book your travel through us.

❤I’m so excited for all the vacations already planned, and all the new and repeat clients I’ll get to send on their dream trips this year! Let's make that YOU! ❤
