Book a Disney hotel and tickets, Alamo car if you want the freedom of getting about busch gardens, universal, NASA etc. but all the Disney hotels have shuttles every X amount of minutes to and from the parks.Sorry slightly off topic but where do you even start with a Florida holiday?

Ah thank you!Book a Disney hotel and tickets, Alamo car if you want the freedom of getting about busch gardens, universal, NASA etc. but all the Disney hotels have shuttles every X amount of minutes to and from the parks.
disney dining plan (worth every penny) and then book all your dining/fast tracks a few weeks prior to going. There’s a few online FB groups/pages too which help!
Truff a stinky fish
If you stop in one of the top tier 3 hotels you also get an express pass for each person in the group this is like a sort of fast pass jump the queue pass.If you are looking to visit universal I would recommend staying at least one night in one of their hotels; you get early access to the parks in the morning as a hotel guest.
Oh I didnt know this! Thats a great perk too. We stayed in Cabana Bay so I think its one of the lower tier ones (this was also a good few years ago too so I think they have newer properties too)If you stop in one of the top tier 3 hotels you also get an express pass for each person in the group this is like a sort of fast pass jump the queue pass.
Dining plan went away with Covid and isn't back as yet. Can confirm I work in travel and we price match all the time lol.Don't do package deal, they might make it out like its great but you pay double the price, I go to the agents an get them to phone around an make it into a package for me, we phone around different airlines to see which flights are the cheapest an which agent can get the best deal for Disney hotels that come with extras since we only go for disney/universal, the disney hotels are amazing for transport an we use a uber for the few days we do universal
I agree that the disney dinning plan is sooooo worth it, not sure if they are still doing it or not but we get the two snacks an two quick service one, 3 snacks work out as 1 quick service so don't feel like you are going to run out of credits cause we never do an we eat an drink a lot
But it definitely pays a lot to have airlines an agents compete with one another, if one thinks they are losing you due to a better price elsewhere, you will be surprised with what they will lower with price or throw in to keep you, I've went round travel agents with a notebook comparing them all some can get pissy but there's been times I've knocked almost 1k off the entire price with making them compete with one another lol
I work in travel and most airlines and travel companies are moving to remove the Covid protections now its not so much an issue and bookings are going back to standard terms. But irrelevant of what the companies offer get good comprehensive travel insurance, especially for the USA where even minor medical treatment can be crazy money. We found it was actually cheaper to get a good worldwide policy than one for the 3 wks we went. So worth pricing up both. We may be able to do a second trip on the same policy if we time it right .I'd also make sure that whatever you do you double check it's protected in case anything goes bust or anything gets cancelled, I think it's atol or somthing it's called but some places also do covid protection as well now, so make sure you get all your protections checked out
