Ending of Virtual Queues
Big news for Walt Disney World visitors—virtual queues are officially snapped out of existence! Disney has announced that both Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind and the soon-to-open Tiana’s Bayou Adventure will no longer use virtual queues. Instead, guests can now experience these attractions the old-fashioned way—by waiting in a standby line like it’s 2018 again
Vacation Length
So, how long should your Orlando vacation be? That’s a great question!
Your ideal trip length depends on three key factors:
•Overall Budget
•Time Available
•Who’s Traveling
Time of Year
Just like airlines, Disney and Universal use dynamic pricing, meaning that ticket prices and hotel rates fluctuate based on demand. This can have a big impact on your vacation budget!
The bottom line? Certain times of the year are simply more expensive due to school breaks, holidays, and special events (looking at you, Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party and Halloween Horror Nights!).
Breaking down the costs
Every Orlando vacation has a few key elements that shape the final price. These are the big-ticket items—the non-negotiables—that will set the foundation for your budget. The good news? There are plenty of ways to adjust your budget to fit your needs, whether you’re planning a budget-friendly getaway or a once-in-a-lifetime vacation.
