Orlando Family Vacation Planning

Orlando family vacation planning is easy-if you've done it 10 times in as many years like we have. We find each trip is better than the last, largely because we keep getting better at planning our sunkissed adventures.

Of course, we've had our share of misadventures, especially during our first few trips. You wouldn't believe how many times one of us (usually Denise!) has moaned "If I knew then what I know now about organizing an Orlando family vacation"

We've been lucky and never had a holiday completely ruined. But like you, we've heard the horror stories. Unexpected expenses, terrible weather, and crowded attractions can wreak havoc on your holiday. Proper planning is the key to avoiding such problems. Read on to discover easy ways to make sure your dream Orlando holiday doesn't turn into a nightmare.

How to choose the perfect time for your Orlando family vacation

Your five key concerns when selecting the right time to head out on an Orlando Florida family vacation?

Orlando's busiest times are-yes, you guessed it-during school holidays 2013/14 (Pdf Doc) (2014/15) Each Easter, summer and Christmas, flocks of families flow into Orlando and Central Florida, on the hunt for fun in the sun.

If you have children, these times are obviously the most convenient for you, but beware. They come with a price. Airfares, accommodations, cruises, theme park tickets-and pretty much everything else-are more expensive. You'll also have to fight the crowds everywhere you go.
