Choosing accommodation in Orlando can be one of the trickiest elements to organising your dream Orlando holiday. One of the questions families face is whether or not to stay on-site at one of the park hotels or off-site in one of the many hotels and private villas located throughout the Orlando area. Complete Orlando is here to make this easier by highlighting some of the benefits of both.
On-Site:
There is a certain ‘magic’ to staying in an on-site hotel. With themed rooms, proximity to parks and many added extras, it is easy to see why spending a little extra can really add the finishing touches to the holiday of a life-time. We’ve jotted down some of the top reasons to stay in a park hotel:
SeaWorld Orlando:
- Some official on-site hotels are within walking distance to the parks.
- Complimentary transportation to SeaWorld, Aquatica, Discovery Cove and Universal Orlando Resort.
- Complimentary Quick Queue Unlimited (front-of-the-line access) at SeaWorld.
- Early Entry to SeaWorld and Aquatica on select dates in peak season.
- Exclusive access to the “SeaWorld Rescue Tour” at SeaWorld on Early Entry dates.
Walt Disney World Resort:
- Over 20 unique resort hotels to suit every taste and budget.
- Proximity to parks.
- Extended theme park hours – each day, one of the Walt Disney World Resort Theme Parks is open for an extra period of time so you can enjoy select attractions.
- Complimentary transportation between Orlando International Airport and your Walt Disney World Resort hotel.
- Complimentary transportation around the resort on monorails, ferryboats and motorcoaches.
- Complimentary Disney Theme Park parking.
- Disney Dining Plan options – get your meals, snacks and drinks included in your stay by adding a dining plan to your package.
- Resort entertainment – from Disney Character Dining to watching a movie under the stars.
- Many shopping purchases can be delivered straight to your Walt Disney World Resort hotel.
Universal Orlando Resort:
- Walking Distance to the Parks.
- Early park admission to Universal Orlando Resort – one hour before the theme park opens to the public.
- Universal Express ride access to queue jump.
- Complimentary water taxis or shuttle buses to help get you round the resort quickly and conveniently.
- Priority seating at select restaurants throughout both parks.
- Complimentary delivery of merchandise purchased throughout Universal Orlando Resort to your on-site hotel room.
- Use your hotel room key card to charge food and merchandise at Universal Orlando locations (where credit cards are accepted).
- Universal Orlando character dining.
- Wake-up calls from some of your favourite characters.
Off-site:
Staying off-site is often a much more affordable way for families to enjoy their Orlando holiday. With an array of accommodation to choose from including villas, apartments and hotels ranging from three to five stars, there is something to suit every budget and need. Here are our reasons for staying off-site:
- Close to all major theme parks and attractions.
- Excellent shopping facilities (walkable depending on location).
- Excellent restaurants (walkable depending on location).
- Excellent entertainment from dinner shows to crazy golf.
- For those staying on International Drive, hop on the I-Ride trolley and discover a whole range of attractions for around $1.
- Range of accommodation from affordable to more luxurious.
- Self catering options available.

Location: In the heart of International Drive.
Address: 9101 International Drive Orlando FL, 32819
Don’t forget – In the States they do not add on tax until you get to the till so the price you see on the tag won’t be what you pay, make sure you account for a little bit extra. Tax varies from state to state, but whatever the tax, there is always a bargain to be had!

No Orlando holiday would be complete without a day at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay, Florida.
Busch Gardens is a safari experience second to none. Just over an hour west from Orlando in Tampa Bay, visitors will be able to undertake an African adventure as they encounter amazing animals coupled with exciting rollercoasters, shows and live entertainment.
Take advantage of using great value Orlando car rental to drive to Busch Gardens Tampa bay from Orlando; it is about an hour’s drive although for those of you without access to a car, Mears Destination Services offers Round Trip Motor Coach transportation from several Orlando area locations. Transportation may also be included within your park tickets from SeaWorld Orlando.
Busch Gardens Tampa Bay is home to nearly 3,000 animals and is one of the country’s premier zoos. See giraffes, rhinos, ostrich and more at the Serengeti Plain. Experience the truck tour known as the Serengeti Safari which takes you on an open truck tour across 65 acres of lush vegetation and we even got to feed giraffes, their tongues are huge! Did you know? They are the only mammal without a voicebox! You can also experience the wonders of the Serengeti by taking the Serengeti Express Railway, the Skyride or one of the many scenic walk ways.
Walk through and abandoned African fishing village as you encounter hippos, lions, crocs and other African animals at the Edge of Africa. Myombe Reserve is a lush forest habitat where visitors can find gorillas and cheeky chimps swinging through the trees. Head Down Under to Walkabout Way where you can discover animals native to Australia including kangaroos and kookaburra!
Little ones can enjoy Sesame Street Safari of Fun filled with child-friendly rides and adventures to be had with your favourite characters from the Street.
Aside from all of the amazing animals to be seen, Busch Gardens Tampa Bay offers thrill seekers the chance to experience some of Florida’s finest rollercoasters. SheiKra takes you up a 200ft climb to just over the edge of a 90 degree vertical drop. For four, very long, seconds you are suspended looking straight down at the ground before plunging head first down at speeds of more than 70 miles per hour, if this doesn’t get your adrenalin pumping, we’re not sure what will!
The Congo River Rapids is an exhilarating white water rafting adventure that takes passengers racing down the river under and over waterfalls. A word of warning – you will get wet and it may be advisable to bring a spare pair of clothes – an hour’s drive in wet shorts is not ideal, take it from us!
New for Spring 2011 is the very exciting arrival of Cheetah Hunt at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay. This high-speed action attraction will see guests immersing themselves in the world of the cheetah – chase speeds of up to 60 miles per hour on a new multiple-launch rollercoaster. This record breaking three minute sprint over three quarters of a mile takes riders through an African inspired landscape – mimicking the speed, power and agility of this beautiful cat with super fast twists, turns and three accelerations – before plunging 37 metres into the abyss. Riders and none riders alike can marvel at the cheetahs’ awesome speed just a whisker away at Cheetah Run, where trainers will carry out daily sprints with these graceful and agile animals.
Busch Gardens Tampa Bay is a must for your Orlando Holiday!

If you’re lucky enough to be flying off to the Sunshine State of Florida, this Christmas to enjoy the sights and sounds of Orlando and its theme parks…..a MUST SEE are The Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights on the Streets of America at Disney’s Hollywood Studios!
This spectacular seasonal display featuring millions of dazzling lights perfectly synchronise and dance to holiday music. The lights are so extensive you may find it hard to comprehend their magnitude. Entire buildings are blanketed in sheets of multi-colored lights, and thousands more lights form twirling carousels, heavenly angels, and even Santa and his reindeer. Approximately every 10 minutes, the lights dim and then dramatically spring to life — dynamically choreographed to traditional festive holiday music. You have to see the effect to believe it!
The Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights started humbly in Arkansas as a single home’s annual display. Every year, Jennings Osborne and his family set up an elaborate collection of Christmas lights and over the years, the collection of lights grew, grew… and grew! In 1995, the Osborne family decided to share their magic with the world and Walt Disney World Resort happily offered to become the new permanent home for this exceptional exhibition of holiday cheer.
The Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights is included with Complete Orlando Holidays regular Disney tickets and can be seen only at Disney’s Hollywood Studios theme park.
