Your daily plan

Once you've picked your parks — discounted tickets

Building a multi-day Orlando vacation in one cart
Tripster lets you bundle theme park tickets with an Orlando hotel, dinner shows, and add-on tours in a single transaction — Disney + Universal + SeaWorld days plus lodging on one checkout. Different math than booking each piece separately, and a faster path when you want one confirmation email instead of five.
Compare hotels across every major booking site
Trivago checks 5 million+ hotels across Booking.com, Expedia, Hotels.com, and 100+ other sites — usually finds the lowest price for your dates without having to open six tabs yourself. Especially useful when your planner's locked in dates but you haven't booked lodging yet.
Worth a 60-second quote: travel insurance
Florida hurricane season runs June through November. A flexible policy from World Nomads covers trip cancellation, weather disruption, lost bags, and medical bills -- usually $40-80 for a family week. Not always necessary; always worth checking before you book the non-refundable parts of your trip.
If your flight gets disrupted on the way home
Flight delays of 3+ hours, cancellations, denied boarding, and lost baggage may entitle you to up to $4,700 in compensation under U.S. and international rules. AirAdvisor files the claim for you on a no-win-no-fee basis — keep their link handy after your trip, not before.
Stacking LEGOLAND, KSC, or other Orlando attractions?
If your itinerary stacks LEGOLAND + Kennedy Space Center + Peppa Pig, or includes a few smaller Orlando experiences alongside Disney or Universal days, the Go City Orlando pass can be a meaningful saver. Go City says travelers save up to 55% vs. paying each gate separately.
