Orlando holidays

Again, this depends on what you are coming to Orlando for and the type or holiday you are after.

Looking to stay close to Walt Disney World Resort? Just minutes from Disney World, Lake Buena Vista is packed with hotels, resorts, and plenty of dining options. Plus, it's close to Disney Springs for shopping, entertainment, and dining. For those seeking a budget-friendly option while still being close to Disney World, Kissimmee is a fantastic choice. It’s a short drive to the parks and offers affordable vacation homes and resorts.

Looking to stay close to Universal Orlando Resort? International Drive is known for being home to ICON Park, and plenty of attractions, this area offers great hotel options ranging from budget to luxury. It's perfect for those who want to be close to everything while still having lots of choices for dining and activities.

Orlando itself doesn’t have its own beach, but you’re in luck—it’s located just a short drive away from some of Florida’s most famous beaches! While Orlando is an inland city, you can easily access both East Coast and West Coast beaches within about an hour’s drive. Cocoa Beach, Daytona Beach, Clearwater Beach and New Smyrma Beach are all within 90 miles.

Orlando isn’t just about theme parks—it’s a vibrant city with a wide range of activities that go beyond the roller coasters and magical experiences. Whether you're into outdoor adventures, shopping, cultural attractions, or relaxing by a lake, Orlando has something for everyone! ICON Park, Leu Gardens, boat trips on Lake Eola, and Wekiwa Springs State Park are some local attractions to add to your holiday. You can also enjoy shopping at The Mall at Millenia & Disney Springs.

Virgin Atlantic fly direct to Orlando International Airport (MCO), serving as a convenient gateway for travelers heading to Florida's theme parks and attractions, and is just 20 minutes from Walt Disney World Resort and Universal Orlando Resort. Virgin Atlantic flights arrive and depart from Terminal A at Orlando International Airport.

Which UK airports do we fly from?

We fly daily from London Heathrow and Manchester, and offer a seasonal service from April to October.

This depends on which hotel you pick. Our resort hotels in Universal Orlando and Walt Disney World don't charge any resort fees in resort. We also have plenty of hotels that either have no resort fee, or have waived this additional charge for our customers (sometimes this is exclusive to us, so be sure to check).

Where there are resort fees charged, you'll find the amount as you proceed through the checkout, and this will be charged in resort. Sometimes these charges mean you'll get additional inclusions, such as free WiFi, complimentary transport to the parks, or food and beverage credit.

Orlando boasts a humid subtropical climate, characterized by hot, humid summers and mild, dry winters. The city enjoys an average of 233 sunny days per year, making it a year-round destination for outdoor activities and theme park adventures. 

For pleasant weather and fewer crowds, consider visiting during the dry season (November to April). March to May is particularly ideal, offering warm temperatures and minimal rainfall. However, be aware that hurricane season runs from June to November, with the highest risk from August to October, and with June being the wettest month.

Absolutely! Orlando is not just a family-friendly destination—it's also perfect for couples looking for a fun and relaxing getaway. Whether you're seeking adventure, relaxation, or unique experiences, Orlando offers something for every couple.

Disney Springs features romantic restaurants like The Boathouse and Wine Bar George. Enjoy sunset views, sip on some wine, and take a stroll along the river after dinner. 

You can also treat yourselves to a luxurious couples massage and enjoy spa services in a tranquil, elegant environment at plenty of our hotels. Just 1.5 hours away, you and your partner can enjoy stunning Gulf Coast beaches with soft sand and clear waters.
