Resort Guides » United States » Orlando
Theme parks built entirely around families, with resort hotels designed to keep the magic going after the gates close.
Overview
Orlando’s resort area is built around Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando, with a wide band of themed hotels, water parks and outlet shopping along International Drive.
Families & toddlers
Possibly the most family-built resort area anywhere, with height-based ride categories, character dining, and hotels that run their own kids’ clubs and pools.
Couples, teens & nightlife
Disney Springs and Universal CityWalk offer dining and entertainment into the evening, and several resort hotels have adults-only pool areas away from the main family pools.
Seniors & accessibility
Theme parks provide disability access passes and plentiful mobility scooter rental, and resort hotels are built with wide, flat, buggy-friendly walkways throughout.
Best time to visit
January to March and October to early December, avoiding both the peak summer humidity and the busiest school holiday crowds.
