Disney Orlando Holidays - Tips and Advice

by Steve Woodward

You have a number of options open to you when visiting Disneyland, Orlando, Florida with regards to accommodation. Many people choose to stay in hotels, motels or villas that are situated close to all the attractions that this popular resort has to offer. Whilst others prefer to actually be right where the action is and staying at one of the Disneyland hotels instead.

Certainly there are plenty of benefits to be gained from staying at the resorts hotels rather than those outside. One of these being that you are within easy reach of all resorts various parks and so being able to get them early in the date or late in the evening is perfect.

Certainly a Disneyland holiday is the perfect family holiday as there is plenty of things to keep everyone amused. Along with the four many theme parks (Epcot, Magic Kingdom, Hollywood and Animal Kingdom) there are the two water parks (Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon).

For those of you who are intending to visit Animal Kingdom during your stay in Disneyland then do so as early as possible. If you can rather than wandering around the park first take the first safari that leaves in the morning, this way you will get to see the wildlife that has made this area of Disneyland their home. Unfortunately during the late morning and early afternoon many of the animals seek out the shade so spotting them can prove extremely difficult.

Booking any of the Disneyland accommodation is best done well in advance of your holiday dates to ensure that you get the accommodation that you want. Plus this is even more crucial if you intend to visit the resort right at the height of the summer season.

You should be aware that during the summer Orlando is a place where it does rain and thunderstorms do occur. The problem is that as soon as it rains or a thunderstorm happens all rides are closed down to help protect Disneyland’s customers. So you need to be aware that if you stand for hours in a queue to get on one of the many great rides and it starts to rain you will have to return later when it stops raining.

It is not just the rides at Epcot, Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom and Hollywood which will be stopped during inclement weather but also those to be found at Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon. So you need to make arrangements to do other things or see certain shows when the weather does turn a little for the worse during your stay.
