Traveling to Orlando during the high season can be a magical experience, but also challenging, especially when you’re with small children.

With larger crowds and longer lines, it is essential to have good planning to ensure that the whole family enjoys the trip to the fullest.

In this article, we will share valuable tips to make your trip to Orlando during the high season an unforgettable and stress-free experience.

Advance planning is essential

The first and most important tip for enjoying Orlando during the high season is advance planning.
Hotel reservations, airline tickets, and theme park tickets should be made in advance to ensure the best options and prices.

Additionally, many parks, like Disney and Universal, offer the option to schedule FastPasses, which allow you to skip the lines at some attractions. Use these tools to schedule the most popular attractions, especially those that are must-sees for the children.

Arrive early at the parks

During the high season, theme parks tend to get busier as the day progresses. An excellent strategy is to arrive at the park right at opening, when the lines are still short and the weather is cooler.
In addition to avoiding large crowds, you’ll have the opportunity to enjoy the most popular attractions before the lines begin to form.

Explore lesser-known attractions

While it’s tempting to rush to the most popular attractions, often the lesser-known attractions can be just as fun and less crowded.
Parks like Epcot and Animal Kingdom offer a variety of educational and interactive experiences that are perfect for children but are not always on every visitor’s radar.

Moreover, exploring these attractions allows the family to have a more relaxed experience, away from large crowds.

Take breaks and avoid exhaustion

With small children, it’s important to remember that they have different limits from adults. In the high season, the days can be long and tiring, and temperatures can be high. Plan regular breaks for rest, hydration, and food.

Consider also returning to the hotel during the afternoon for a nap or a swim in the pool, returning to the park in the late afternoon when temperatures are lower and crowds begin to diminish.

Enjoy activities outside the parks

Orlando offers much more than just theme parks. Consider adding some activities outside the parks to your itinerary, which can be less crowded and equally fun for children.
The Crayola Experience at the Florida Mall, the Orlando Science Center, and the various water parks in the area are great options.

In addition, a visit to ICON Park, with its Ferris wheel and other family attractions, can be a fun alternative for a day outside the traditional theme parks.

Pre-rent a baby stroller

A valuable tip for those traveling with small children is to rent baby strollers. During the high season, having a stroller available can be a great relief, as it allows children to rest while you move between attractions.
In addition, the stroller can be used to store backpacks, snacks, and other essentials, easing the load for parents.

Here at StrolllerCare, you choose the ideal stroller model for your children’s weight and height, individual or double strollers, all new and very comfortable. Rent from the comfort of your home and receive it in Orlando at the location of your choice, whether airport, hotel, or park.

Extra tips to facilitate your trip

Finally, some extra tips can make all the difference in your trip during the high season. Use park apps to check wait times for attractions in real-time and locate bathrooms, restaurants, and rest areas.

Bring snacks and drinks to avoid lines at food kiosks, and don’t forget to regularly apply sunscreen.
