An Idiot's Guide to Booking a Walt Disney World Orlando Holiday Vacation | 2022

[@skelt6or]

This is, hands down, the best guide I've ever seen to holidaying in florida! Well done man!

[@TheFrugalBrit]

Thank you Stephen! 😁

[@clamioatbar3088]

Whilst it might be difficult for many families to get time off, we managed to do 3 weeks in Orlando. This does have benefits due to following: the bulk of your holiday cost is Flights and park tickets. Neither of which will increase with holiday duration. You simply start one 2 week park ticket such as universal on first day of arrival and then go to your first Disney park a week into your holiday to start your Disney 14 day ticket package. This will carry you thru to the end of the holiday and have access to parks for the full 3 weeks with the ability to access both park chains in your 2nd week. Accommodation cost difference for 2 vs 3 weeks can be surprisingly low with certain hotels & apartments. I found package holidays where the difference was less then a hundred pounds. With this you now have more than enough time to visit all parks and you get opportunity to throw in a good few rest days which I think can make the difference between a good relaxing holiday and a stressful one. Worth considering if you only plan to do Florida as a once in a lifetime. I personally found that in our case as 2 kids / 2 adults. Going for a villa / appt complex worked well , spending a long holiday in a single hotel room might prove demanding as you don’t get anytime away from each other. Even some of the 2 bed appts offer 2 bathrooms and large living space with full kitchens. They can be huge and generally have hotel like facilities.

[@TheFrugalBrit]

Amazing advice, thank you for sharing this! I missed Disney’s 21 day ticket offer 🙈

[@EpicAdventureCouple]

Hello, we have lots of Orlando and vacation videos from Florida. Thanks for sharing and watching. Very nice video well done.

[@JP-lx4ov]

With the Universal Premier annual pass it includes early park entry, access to all fast pass rides after 4pm… and free valet parking, which cuts out some of the security queues. Great value! I used to buy the 2 week pass and a one night stay at the Hard Rock Hotel - the cheapest way for a family of 4 to get 2 days fast passes and early park entry!

[@TheFrugalBrit]

Great tip 😁👍

[@Lmwpitt]

I hope FrugalBrit does a video transport around Orlando for non-resort guests; from I Drive to the parks, Gatorland, KSC

[@Chrissyhappy]

Hi. I’d have liked that too. I winged it! I’ve done I drive on my own with my two kids (one in a wheelchair). I didn’t want to drive there. I used lynx buses from I drive to Disney. Two buses. Easy, but takes over an hour. Universal, I jumped a mears cab for about $12 or we walked depending on which part of I drive we stayed at. Seaworld is one lynx bus or the I trolley. Very easy and about 20 minutes. A lot of the trips to Busch gardens etc have a coach pick up from the hotels. I did it four times alone. It’s easy enough. Some hotels even have shuttles to the parks but they can be a nightmare. Packed and loads of stops. Good luck to you.

[@TheFrugalBrit]

That’s a good idea. I had planned an I-trolley video but might expand it to cover other transportation needs.

[@MC-nb6jx]

Split stays are perfect for Orlando park holidays👍🏻👍🏻

[@Lmwpitt]

I just booked my first trip to Orlando (for 2 weeks) thanks to FrugalBrit's videos!!!

[@TheFrugalBrit]

👏😁😁👍👍

[@katszulga1888]

One thing to note about park-hopping in WDW right now is that you have to check into the park you reserved before you can hop. So say you book a dinner reservation for Cinderella's Royal Table on the Monday of your trip, but then you try to book your park reservation and Magic Kingdom is full up for Monday. No problem, thinks you, I'll just book Animal Kingdom and go to Magic Kingdom after two. But Monday comes, and you're jet-lagged, and you sleep in, and Animal Kingdom is so far away, so you just decide to chill and go to MK at two or three, to ride a few rides before your dinner reservations. But if you haven't scanned into Animal Kingdom that day, your park hopping won't work. It seems like a ridiculously specific scenario, but it has happened. Best to make your back-up park Epcot so at least you can quickly monorail over, scan in, and monorail back.

[@TheFrugalBrit]

Yeah having that break is really valuable, especially with kids!

Dear parents! Let the kids choose their favourite Disney Parks souvenirs!!! When the kids are very good, then they deserve more souvenirs. Every good behaviour kid should have 1-2 bags of Disney Parks souvenirs: plush toys, toys, mini figures, bubble blower, Mickey ears, t-shirts, jacket, drinking bottle, and some pins or magnets and etc. Please buy only those Disney Parks souvenirs, what the kids very want!!!! I know many Disney souvenirs are very expensive, but when the kids are very good all the times, then sometimes they deserve these things!!! Please be kind parents and make Your kids very happy with these Disney Parks souvenirs, what the kids have chosen and don’t say NO all the times, when the kids very deserves those Disney Parks souvenirs for good behaviour!!!

[@josylvester8039]

Can I ask about tipping. What things do you tip for and how much is acceptable?

[@katszulga1888]

Hi Jo, North American here. One of the reasons our prices look so cheap is because a lot of companies barely pay their employees, expecting that the income will be made up in tips. 15% is acceptable, but outdated, as 18% has become the norm. 20-25% if you feel they treated you exceptionally well. Please do absolutely tip at restaurants, as in most cases your server has to tip out a portion of their sales figures for the night to hosts, bussers, kitchen staff, and bartenders. If you don't tip they are paying out of pocket for you to eat there. There is also a trend of "tipping the bill", or a 100% tip. It's not ubiquitous, but if you can afford it and your server was amazing you can really make their whole week. This tends to happen more around Christmas when patrons know that servers have Christmas gifts to buy on top of their regular bills, but is also amazing to do anytime, as American servers often don't have medical insurance, so you might just save them from a crippling medical debt. But if you are on a budget, 15% will at least keep them employed. You might also want to tip you Uber/Lyft/cab driver. Especially in Uber or Lyft where you have an account in the app, tipping will make your account show up as one that drivers will want to prioritize, which might be crucial if you're trying to get a car on time to make a dinner reservation. The last place you'll want to have some cash for tips are porters and housekeeping. This might not matter during the pandemic as a lot of these services are suspended, but if you have a porter carry your bags the usual tip is $1 per bag (minimum of $5) and for housekeeping $1 per person per night (minimum of $5/night). For housekeeping leaving the money out daily will ensure a thorough clean daily, and also means that the staff doing the work will get the tip, as staff might rotate rooms.

Disney is way too expensive, genie+ is a con compared to the old fast pass system us brits got, and the fact you have to pay extra for the best rides is disgusting!

[@TheFrugalBrit]

I’m not entirely sure how far in advance you need to make the reservations unfortunately, but I do know you can make it several months in advance. I’d recommend just trying to do it asap. No need for park pass for water parks 👍👍 Thanks for watching 😁👍

[@davidburns8324]

You didn’t mention November for low crowds whats your thoughts?

[@MisterBigMack]

What a video! We are going in April/May and great to hear it won’t be too busy, all your videos are superbly put together and detailed completely - thanks very much!

[@TheFrugalBrit]

👍😁 thank you kind sir. Hope you have an awesome trip 😁

[@adammcmackin2087]

Great video Have shared it with my family whom we are planning to visit later in the year, but will b booking in the next few weeks Again really good information very useful to anyone looking to book a florida holiday any time soon

[@TheFrugalBrit]

😁 thank you Adam!

[@ThiagoGirotto]

What happens if I dont cancel my WDW Orlando park reservation (and do not attend)?

[@TheGreatEmigrate]

Did you know if you book with Virgin Atlantic using the flight and hotel option it is normally 300/400 pounds cheaper than Virgin Holidays. Also booking around 11pm at night as prices are cheaper. Top tip I like to share after travelling to floridia every year

[@TheFrugalBrit]

That’s really interesting, good knowledge! 😁

[@MM-tt7hy]

Also, if you book through BA, tickets plus accomodation is only slightly more expensive then just flight.

[@markcunningham597]

All the frugal brit videos on florida are by far the best quality and most useful for a holiday I am going back in May and hope a few more pop up before then to get in the mood

[@TheFrugalBrit]

Thank you Mark! I might see you in May 👍😁

[@gregharper3238]

Is this Noel? I watch your flying videos - man of many talents!

[@grantfreeland9095]

I’m booked for this year at all star music resort and cannot wait! Not been since 2006!

[@TheFrugalBrit]

Hope you have an awesome trip 😁

[@MATTFL380]

We are considering booking Disney for three of us, we have a 4 year old who will be 5 when we go. I’m seeing a lot of negative press about Disney world atm, no staff and long ques for rides etc etc. In your honest opinion would you say it is worth the eye watering prices.

[@TheFrugalBrit]

It’s still incredible, but you don’t get as much for your money these days, especially if you’re travelling from UK&I.

[@eddavis2661]

Great video. Just one section missing; transfers from airport now that there is no magical express.

[@TheFrugalBrit]

Yeah transportation would have been useful to cover tbf

[@user-vf3ne2mv6x]

Please do a video on dining and as someone else commented transport from offsite locations and if it’s really worth it to stay on site!

[@TheFrugalBrit]

Yeah they’re in my plans 👍😁

[@Cokey670]

Another great video from the Frugal Brit! The best and most informative guides out there, keep it up 👏🏻

[@TheFrugalBrit]

😁😁😁😁 Thank you!

[@JSInOrbit]

Thx 4 the frugal tips

[@TheFrugalBrit]

👍😁

[@sB-wl4bp]

I just want to visit the parks for 2 days, am I able to get 2 day tickets? Can't see any on websites I am looking at. Going at half term with family from London

[@TheFrugalBrit]

You can do it, but you’d need to purchase whilst you’re in the US, or buy tickets online using a vpn.

[@barry888]

How much to Uber from say champions gate to magic kingdom ?

[@TheFrugalBrit]

I would guess it’s about $55.00

[@letstalklifewithben2678]

Going in April again, can't wait. It's been 3 years since the last time we visited!

[@TheFrugalBrit]

Hope you have an awesome trip 👍😁

[@vickierinehart4434]

If I had to do it again I would have vacation somewhere else. Book the trip paying for all of our grandchildren one daughter will be in a room with her two kids we have a room with two more kids my brother and sister-in-law are going with her two kids. This is so messed up just now found out they didn't send the right numbers to do the park Hoppers

[@vickierinehart4434]

Oops hit send before I meant to very confusing now they're trying to say we didn't pay for two of the four kids when in fact we did we paid $9,000 to stay in the top notch resort they have us arriving a day later than my brother and sister-in-law who are also going down with their two kids they have one of their kids booked in with us which is messed up they don't have the right numbers for the hopper parks total chaos vacation. If you need to talk to anybody plan on about 48 hours for somebody to get back with you at least that was our experience.

[@mjc220683]

Another great video thanks. First time visit in Aug/Sep. We are there 19 nights from 18th Aug so very much hoping all is well for travel etc.

[@Merina2222]

[@Blazeyblazeyblaze]

[@zaneysvids8851]

I thought you mentioned that you had links to do with DIY & travel insurance?

[@TheFrugalBrit]

Is there not a link for insurance in the description? I’ll check now.

[@TheFrugalBrit]

Just added it, thanks for pointing out!
