Disney, Universal and a real rocket launch site, all under the Florida sun. Here's what Orlando is like with the family, when to go and how long to stay.
Check entry rules on GOV.UK before you book.
March to May and November are warm, with lower prices outside school holidays. Summer is hot and humid, with afternoon thunderstorms and big queues. Hurricane season runs from June to November, peaking in September.
Four theme parks and two water parks. Pick two or three parks rather than trying to do them all.
Harry Potter, Super Nintendo World and big thrill rides across three parks.
See real rockets and the Space Shuttle Atlantis, about an hour away.
Alligators, a zip line over them, and a gentler break from the big parks.
Shops, restaurants and evening entertainment with no park ticket needed.
White sand at Clearwater, about two hours away.
Yes, it's built for families. Plan which parks you'll do and book rides and restaurants ahead, as the big parks are busy most of the year.
Ten to fourteen nights, to fit the parks in with rest days. Many families finish with a few days on the beach.
Most British passport holders, children included, apply for an ESTA online before they fly rather than a visa. Check GOV.UK for the current rules.
It helps a lot. Disney has its own buses, but a car makes Universal, the coast and shopping much easier.
Put Orlando on standby with everyone's other ideas. You each spread your points in secret, get one veto, and the draw picks where you go.
