Hot off the press…

News as it’s in, here’s the first official image of Hogwarts castle at Universal Orlando Resort’s new Wizarding World of Harry Potter, which is due to open in Spring this year…

Take a look at this video. It gives a great insight to what we can all expect from the Wizarding World of Harry Potter…….

Winter or summer it’s never a bummer…good times always!

So when is the best time to visit Orlando? When will you get the most for your money?

The most popular times to visit Orlando with the family are without doubt Easter, summer, October half term and of course Christmas! Although if you are able to travel outside these timeframes, you may well be able to bag yourself a bargain and the parks won’t be as busy, as Frankie (from The Saturdays) and her boyfriend Dougie (from McFly) found when they were there last week….

Orlando is sunny and warm throughout the year and although there is no coastline, there is always time to top up that tan and take a dip in the pool!

Easter is an ideal time of year to visit, before it begins to get too hot. Although it is also one of the more expensive times of year to travel, it is very buzzy and plenty of things to do. This is such a popular time to go – book early!

Obviously the temperature and humidity is higher in the summer, but who cares with all those water parks and wet rides right?!

October is a great time to head over to Orlando if you just fancy a week there, plus all of the parks will be in full swing for Halloween so it’s vital you don’t lose your nerve! Universal Orlando and Busch Gardens Tampa Bay often go all out to scare you silly, while Walt Disney World Resort has a more child friendly approach to your Orlando holiday. Complete Orlando’s top secret tip:

Orlando during November
Avg Temperature:25 oc
Avg Humidity:56%

November is a great time to visit Orlando if you can get away; not only is it a great temperature, but the airfares are also pretty cheap, with plenty of availability. You will also benefit from less crowded parks, which means less time queuing and more time on the rollercoasters! Halloween events will still be going on at the beginning of the month, with Thanksgiving and Christmas events taking place towards the end. It’s also the perfect time to head down to the Malls in Orlando for a spot of Christmas shopping.

The further in advance you book your Orlando holiday the better, especially when it comes to flights, which get more and more expensive the closer you get to the travel date. The days of bagging a cheap last minute flight have gone! It’s easy to do with Complete Orlando, as we offer really deposits, no hidden extras or credit card fees and you can pay the total amount in instalments or closer to your departure date.

Most Orlando holidaymakers book about a year in advance, which may seem a lot but it really does fly by (especially when you are counting down the days!). This gives you enough time to research, plan and save, there is so much to do and see whilst you are there….six Walt Disney World parks, SeaWorld Orlando, Aquatica, Wet ‘n Wild Orlando, Universal Orlando, Busch Gardens Tampa Bay, Discovery Cove and much much more. It’s important you don’t miss out on anything, after all this is a once-in-a-lifetime-holiday we’re talking about here!

Some (sun) Light at the end of the Tunnel

Hello and welcome to the brand new Complete Orlando blog.

It’s freezing outside, Christmas is over and we won’t even mention the extra ‘insulation’ we’ve all acquired over the festive season!! We all need something to look forward to, so now is the perfect time to get planning for your next holiday.

Now, we understand how difficult it is to research, plan and book an Orlando holiday. So we have put our heads together to tell you everything you need to know about planning the perfect Orlando holiday; posting information about the parks, accommodation, flights and top tips-you name it we know about it.

2010 is set to be an exciting year in Orlando with plenty of new rides, shows and entertainment for all of the family. There will be the brand new Omaka Rocka water slide at the waterpark Aquatica, complete with high-speed tubes and massive half-pipe-like funnels (not for the faint-hearted).

Busch Gardens Tampa Bay will be launching a range of new behind-the-scenes and up-close experiences called ‘undiscovered and unlocked’. There will also be the arrival of ‘he-who-must-not-be-named’ to Universal Studios Orlando and we will keep you posted once we know all about it.

And don’t forget to look out for the current Disney offers which we have on!  These include FREE Disney Dining Plan and reduced prices at Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort and Disney’s Old Key West Resort (which could save a family of four over £2000). We are also offering the 14-Day Disney Ultimate ticket at the price of a 7-Day Premium ticket!

Lastly, take advantage of a FREE Disney Gift Card voucher worth up to $1000 to spend within Walt Disney World Resort!

So with Orlando being dubbed as one of the top ten holiday destinations for 2010, it’s time to get thinking about planning this once-in-a-lifetime trip and we reckon with a bit of help from us it will be no problem!
