Orlando vacation packages combine a hotel stay with extras such as airfare, theme park tickets, a rental car or park shuttles. To judge one, compare the total price with resort fees and parking included, match park days to hotel nights, and check how you will get to the parks. World Sky members book these pieces at member rates.
Bonus trip list · Daytona BeachDaytona Beach is on the bonus list, along with Miami and Destin: all three are among the 30 destinations for the 2-night bonus trip.
Orlando is the classic family trip, and it is also one of the easiest places to overspend. Between hotel nights, park tickets, parking, meals and getting around, the price on the package banner is rarely the price you pay. This guide breaks an Orlando package into its parts so you can see what you are actually buying.
You will find what Orlando vacation packages usually include, how park tickets fit in, why all-inclusive is rare here, how to judge a deal, how long a family trip should be, and how a World Sky membership handles the same trip.
Theme park tickets are the biggest single cost of the trip.

Las Vegas guideAn Orlando vacation package is a hotel stay bundled with one or more extras. Most offers mix and match from this list:
The seller shapes the deal. Airlines, online travel agencies, the parks themselves, hotels and resort developers all sell Orlando packages. Here is how the main types compare:
| Package type | What's usually included | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Hotel plus park tickets | Room plus multi-day tickets, sometimes transportation | Ticket dates, how many parks per day, and park transportation |
| Airline vacation package | Flight plus hotel, sometimes a car | Bag fees, flight times, and whether resort fees are in the total |
| Online travel agency bundle | Flight plus hotel from a long list | Cancellation rules for each part of the trip |
| Resort preview package | A low headline price for a short stay | Whether you must attend a sales presentation, and for how long |
| Travel club membership | Member rates on hotels, flights, cars, theme park tickets and tours | Monthly dues, what they cover, and whether prices are guaranteed |
For most families, theme park tickets are the biggest single cost of the trip. That makes Orlando packages with theme park tickets the most searched kind. Before you compare them, decide two things: how many park days you want, and whether you want more than one park on the same day. Those two choices drive the ticket price more than the hotel does.
Yes. Many people searching for vacation packages for Disney World in Orlando end up booking the hotel and the tickets together, and many sellers build packages around a Walt Disney World visit. You can also book the pieces separately and compare. World Sky members get theme park tickets at member pricing; which parks and dates you can book depends on availability. World Sky Travel Club is not affiliated with Disney.
Universal Orlando vacation packages work the same way: a hotel near the parks plus tickets. Check whether your hotel is within walking distance, on a shuttle route, or a drive away with daily parking. World Sky is not affiliated with Universal either; the same member-pricing rule applies to any park tickets you book through the club.

Very few, at least in the Caribbean sense of the word. Most Orlando hotels sell rooms without meals, and families eat in the parks or nearby. So Orlando vacation packages all inclusive usually means a room plus park tickets and a dining plan or meal credits. That can be convenient, but price it against what your family would really eat.
If you want a resort where meals, drinks and kids' activities are part of one price, look beyond Florida. Our guide to all-inclusive family vacations covers those trips, and Cancun all-inclusive resorts is a good place to start.
Run every offer through these five checks before you pay:
If you fly, you will land at Orlando International Airport (MCO). Check its ground transportation page before you decide between a shuttle, a rideshare and a rental car. World Sky members get member rates on rental cars and member pricing on airfare for two adults or the whole family.
Theme park days are long, hot and loud. The best family vacation packages in Orlando leave room to rest. A 4 day 3 night Orlando vacation package fits one or two park days, which works for a first taste or a quick trip with small kids. If you want to see several parks, most families plan five nights or more, with a pool day in the middle.
Book the hotel for the whole group in one place, and compare a suite or a two-room unit with two separate rooms. With kids, a kitchen or a fridge can save you real money on breakfasts and snacks.

Orlando sits in Central Florida, inland from both coasts. Summers are usually hot and humid, with short afternoon thunderstorms on many days. Winter and early spring are usually milder and easier on park days, though holiday weeks draw big crowds.
The Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30. Most trips in those months go ahead without trouble, but check the National Hurricane Center forecast before you travel and read the cancellation terms of anything you book. If you are traveling from outside the United States, check travel.state.gov for entry requirements.
